Intel Core i5-12600KF Unlocked Desktop Processor
12th Generation Alder Lake · FCLGA1700 · Tray / OEM
10-Core 16-ThreadUp to 4.9 GHz20 MB Intel Smart Cache CacheUnlocked
The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a 12th Generation (Alder Lake) desktop processor with 6 Performance-cores + 4 Efficient-cores (10 total) and 16 threads, a 3.7 GHz base clock that boosts to 4.9 GHz, with no integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required. Supplied as a tray / OEM unit (part number CM8071504555228, EAN 0675901979160) without a bundled cooler. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility — read before you buy
This processor uses the Intel LGA1700 socket and needs a compatible motherboard (Intel 600-series such as Z690, B660, H670 or H610, or 700-series boards (Z790, B760) with a BIOS update). It supports DDR5-4800 / DDR4-3200 memory up to 128 GB. The unlocked multiplier allows overclocking on Z-series boards. As a tray unit it ships without a cooler — add a compatible cooler.

Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
The i5-12600KF is a brilliant enthusiast-value gaming chip — 6 Performance-cores plus 4 Efficient-cores and an unlocked multiplier, minus the integrated graphics to lower the price. This is the tray/OEM version (no retail box or cooler), ideal for builders with their own cooling and a discrete GPU. To get the most from it, pair it with dual-channel DDR5 memory and a motherboard that matches your performance and upgrade plans.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You run a discrete graphics card, want an unlocked 10-core CPU for fast gaming at the lower tray price, and already have a cooler.
Skip it if
You need integrated graphics, prefer boxed retail packaging, or do not plan to overclock (a locked i5-12400F is cheaper).
Also consider
The boxed i5-12600KF, the i5-12600K (adds UHD 770), or the i7-12700KF for more cores.
