Hybrid architecture, which implies a combination of high-performance (Performance-cores) and energy-efficient (Efficient-core) cores. Support for DDR5 standard and PCI Express 5.0 interface.
Performance-cores are high-performance cores capable of simultaneously executing up to two computation threads. Efficient-core — energy-efficient cores do not support Hyper-Threading and are designed to handle background workloads.

Hybrid 16-thread processor with unlocked multiplier
The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a powerful and modern 16-thread processor that is ideal for mid-range gaming PCs. Unlike the younger Core i5 models, this model uses a hybrid structure with 6 high-performance P-cores and 4 energy-efficient E-cores. Powerful P-cores support multi-threading and are used in games and resource-intensive applications, while E-cores handle background processes and less demanding applications.
Performance on par with Ryzen 7 5700X
Despite being the most affordable hybrid chip in the Alder Lake lineup, the Core i5-12600KF can compete with many popular models from the past. It often outperforms the Ryzen 5 5600X in games, especially those that use multi-threaded processing. When compared to the Ryzen 7 5700X, the Core i5-12600KF shows similar levels of performance but is better suited for gaming, while the Ryzen 7 is more focused on work tasks.
PCI-E 5.0 bus and DDR5 memory support
The advantage of the Intel processor is support for DDR4/DDR5 memory and PCI-E 5.0 bus, which makes it more modern. Thanks to the current socket, the potential owner will be able to replace the processor with a newer Core i5/i7 in the future without replacing other components. The only drawback is the high TDP (125 to 150 W), which requires efficient cooling.
