Intel Alder Lake 12th generation processors, including the Core i5-12600KF, went on sale in November 2021, bringing new enthusiasm to the x86 processor segment. Taking its cue from the ARM big.LITTLE heterogeneous computing architecture, which has proven its utility in smartphones and tablets for more than 5 years, the Core i5-12600KF chips also host 6 Performance or high-performance cores, in addition to 4 Efficient power-efficient cores. This combination allows the processor to run more efficiently, as the P-core is responsible for the highest performance on complex tasks, while the E-core handles background processes in the operating system and ensures low power consumption during web browsing and other less demanding activities.
The Core i5-12600KF processor features a built-in 20 MB cache as well as 6 P and 4 E cores. In one of the most objective processor performance tests, CineBench R23, the Core i5-12600KF completely destroys its Rocket Lake i5-11600K predecessor by a 60% margin with over 17,000 points. But it doesn't stop there, as i5-12600KF also makes room for the 11th generation Core i7-11700K ( 17%) and AMD Ryzen 7 5800X ( 13%) octa-core models!
Core i5-12600KF performance in PC games
TheAlder Lake architecture has seen the most dramatic performance improvement in years and the Core i5-12600KF is a prime example. In TechSpot's 10 PC games tests, Core i5-12600KF average FPS scores outperform Intel's 10th and 11th generation Core i5 and Core i7 models, as well as AMD's 5000 series bestseller Ryzen 5 5600X.
Core i5-12600KF photo processing
Thanks to an improved architecture and four newly available Efficient cores, the most popular Adobe photo processing applications Photoshop and Lightroom Core i5-12600KF perform on par with the best 12-core AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and 16-core 5950X processors, while outperforming Intel 11th generation Core i7 and i9 processors by up to 20%.
Core i5-12600KF in video processing
The Core i5-12600KF is technically a 6-core processor, but the heterogeneous Alder Lake architecture with 4 small Efficient cores makes it incomparably better than the previous generation Core i5-11600K. In Adobe Premiere Pro, the popular video processing software, it outperforms the 11th generation Core i9-11900K by almost 10%. The 12-core Ryzen 9 5900X also outperformed the Core i5-12600KF, but fell short of the 16-core 5950X by less than 3 percent. Impressive performance for a Core i5 processor in this price range!
Core i5-12600KF power consumption
The Intel Core i5-12600KF hexa-core processor consumes 125W of power at its 3.70 GHz base frequency. As befits all K-labelled models, the processor's P cores can increase their operating frequency up to 4.90 GHz during complex operations with the help of TurboBoost technology. Under these conditions, the Core i5-12600KF processor can reach an actual power consumption of 150W, which is determined by the manufacturer's PL2 threshold.
TechSpot's measurements show that a computer with a Core i5-12600KF processor is about as power-efficient as an 11th generation Intel Core i5-11600K and AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. These measurements do not include the video card, so with a powerful NVIDIA GeForce or AMD Radeon GPU the consumption of the PC can exceed even the 600W limit, so when building a Core i5-12600KF CPU based PC we recommend a power supply with at least 700W of power.
To keep the Core i5-12600KF CPU from overheating and to reach its maximum potential, we recommend using a 240mm water cooler or one of the Pro or Extreme class LGA1700 air coolers for cooling. Also, don't forget about a well-ventilated case with no less than one intake and one exhaust fan!
This parameter determines the CPU socket on the mother board for which the particular CPU is intended. Physically the CPU can be placed in the compliant socket only. Prior to buying the CPU you should verify that your motherboard has the corresponding CPU socket.
The CPU type indicates the CPU models set by the manufacturer based upon their capacity and the application features. For Intel CPUs these are starting from most powerful - Core i7, Core i5, Core i3, Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, Pentium Dual Core and Celeron models.
The CPU manufacturer Intel has introduced the system of numbering of CPUs that allows accurate identification of each CPU manufactured by Intel and its compatibility with motherboards. Prior to buying the CPU you verify the support of this CPU number on the website of the motherboard manufacturer.
The number of the CPU cores is the parameter of the operation speed and stability. CPU with two or more cores can handle tasks in parallel, thus achieving extra high-speed and the system stability. Prior to buying a multi-core CPU you should verify if the motherboard supports this type of CPU.
The CPU clock frequency is the index of operation speed that determines the number of calculation cycles that the CPU can perform per second. Higher clock frequency means higher operation speed.
Small, fast memory that stores the copies of the data memories from the main memory that are most often used by the computer applications. It is like a temporary storage or data buffer between the CPU and RAM.
It shows with how big numbers it can operate within a single cycle. It is advisable to have this index at the level of 512 KB or at least 256 KB.
