The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a desktop processor with 10 cores, launched in November 2021. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the Alder Lake-S architecture with Socket 1700. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 16 threads. Core i5-12600KF has 20MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.7 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4.9 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is making the Core i5-12600KF on a 10 nm production node, the transistor count is unknown. You may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on Core i5-12600KF, which simplifies overclocking greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency. With a TDP of 125 W, the Core i5-12600KF consumes a lot of power, so good cooling is definitely needed. Intel's processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with adual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the machine, Core i5-12600KF uses a PCI-Express Gen 4 connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a separate graphics card. Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i5-12600KF, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, Intel is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
