Sometimes less is more
|Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The smaller brother of the 12600k. This also cost a decent amount less than a 12600k while maintaining close performance. Pair this with something like a 3060Ti and you have a well balanced build.

4/10 performance 8/10 value
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a decent processor if you dont mind its lack of an iGPU, or only 6 cores. If youre considering a build in 2024, I would reccomend going with an 8 core CPU instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
