Mmmm … very interesting. It looks like Intel’s new Core i5-12600K could be the chip that everyone will go for … offering good performance at a decent price point.
Taken from Videocardz … The Core i5-12600K is a hybrid CPU based on Intel 7 process node (previously referred to as 10nm Enhanced SuperFin) equipped with 6 Golden Cove (Performance/Big) cores and 4 Gracemont (Efficient/Atom/Small) cores, which gives a total core count of 10 cores. Since only the big cores support hyperthreading, Core i5-12600K is to offer 16 threads (6*2+4).
According to the rumors, the CPU is to feature 2.8 and 3.7 GHz base clocks and up to 3.6 and 4.9 GHz boost with up to 1-2 Efficient and Performance cores respectively. The primary frequency reported by CPU-Z software is from the Performance cores, which appear to be between 4.5 GHz to 4.7 GHz.
The processor has indeed reached 4.9 GHz on a single-core in one of the validations, which happens to be using CPU-Z 1.98 software.
