Let’s be honest, one of the best-selling processors around for its excellent value for money is the i5-11400F. Well Intel is aware of that and they are going to launch new Intel Core 12s in January, along with their motherboards for those who want to build a gaming PC and are on tighter budgets. Will we have the full lineup or will we have to wait longer?
It’s no secret that the Alder Lake desktop PCs are out right now for the impatient who want to have the most powerful processors around and they can’t wait, but they won’t be the only ones who will. on sale in a short while. Since Intel will launch the new Core 12 in January and new motherboard models with Intel 600 chipset.
New Intel Core 12 processors and cards for January
The first images of the Intel Core 12 desktop processors that go on sale in January have been leaked. The models are: i9-12900, i5-12600, i5-12500 e i5-12400. Out of all of them, the one that stands out is the i5-12900, which would fall between the i7-12700K and i9-12900K in terms of performance and would be an i9 in configuration, albeit with less consumption. The others are rather in lower specifications than those currently on the market and are based on the variant of the Alder Lake-S which lacks E-Colors.
In addition, we will not only have the new Core 12 in January, but also motherboards that are more modest than the current Z690 motherboards. So it is more than possible that the chipsets will finally appear H670, W680, B660 and H610. For the moment we do not know the organization of the I / O of these, but we know that it will not have the advanced capabilities of the Z690 in the face of overclocking.
Intel Core i5-12600 specifications
The new information includes not only the various models that Pat Gelsinger’s company will put on sale in January, but also information on the i5-12600 and with this the information about this CPU is confirmed, the most important being the fact that we are facing a Lake Alder-S “H0”.
What does it mean? Simple, it is a variant of the Intel Core 12 which although it is compatible with the same socket as the rest of the range, LGA1700
The second detail that is confirmed is its energy consumption of 65W in PL1 mode, instead of the 125W models currently on the market.
Regarding its clock speeds, the information obtained from CPU-Z does not give us information about the base clock speed, as it operates at a very low voltage of 0.391 V and, therefore , its speed is only 698, 29 MHz in the benchmark. So it seems that the Boost speed would be 4.788.48MHz, if we take into account the multiplier and the base 99.76 MHz.
The i5-12600 is a CPU consisting of 6 P-Core with the ability to perform 12 threads, with 48 KB and 32 KB cache first level data and instructions by core, 1.25 MB of hidden L2 also in each nucleus and 18MB L3 cache shared and acting as LLC of the processor.
