The Intel Core i5 12600KF Box NEW is a premium desktop processor combining high performance with versatility. This 12th Gen (Alder Lake) chip features a hybrid architecture of 6 performance cores and 4 efficient cores (total 10 cores / 16 threads), enabling smooth multitasking and responsive performance in both gaming and productivity workloads.
With a base clock of 3.7 GHz on performance cores and boost frequencies up to 4.90 GHz, it delivers strong single- and multi-threaded performance. It supports both DDR4-3200 and DDR5-4800 memory types, and offers PCIe 5.0 & PCIe 4.0 lanes for next-gen GPU & storage compatibility.
As a “KF” variant, it does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required. The boxed version comes in retail packaging (box) but does not include a cooler — you will need to pair it with a compatible aftermarket cooling solution.
This processor is ideal for gamers, content creators, and enthusiasts who demand high performance, future-readiness, and flexibility in system configuration.
