The Intel Core i5-12600KF is currently our clear editorial recommendation. The gaming performance is on a par with the current top models from AMD for a price of less than 300 euros. The application performance, on the other hand, is on a par with the Ryzen 7 5800X, which is a good deal more expensive, and the 12600KF also plays right up front in terms of efficiency. Current price: 279 euros

This test report belongs to a different type: Core i5 12600KF (LGA 1700, 3.70 GHz, 10 -Core)
