[@wazzuppoo]

perfect timing im about to buy a 12600k

[@Nocee]

4.5 vs 5.3 :/ my 12600K p cores run at 5.3.. since its a K cpu it would have been interesting to see the same frequency to give us a better idea of ​​the performance with the same conditions

[@user-nb5en8wj5r]

Conditions won't be the same, because 14600K can run at 5.7.

[@yan3066]

I knew Intel 14th gen improved their performances, but I never thought it would be by such a good margin when not gpu bottlenecked. Still 12th gen gives great performance nowadays. Both great buy at the right price. 👌

[@ezioauditore1588]

just oc 12600k and gap will be very small :)

[@copy4862]

@@ezioauditore1588just oc 14600k and gap will be big again

[@potatochine-gun]

​@@copy4862just overclock the 14600k and u will draw another +100w hahaha no air-cooler will be able to keep on a happy temp 🤷‍♂️ Intel's inefficiency is craaazy

[@klim6361]

​​@@copy4862 14600k уже выжат с завода) 12-е поколение для Intel является базой в 13-м и 14-м поколении. Хотите что-то координально новое - берите 7800x3d!

[@BlakeBake]

Bought a 12600k for my new Plex server for $169 new a few months ago. More than I need for Plex. May grab 14th gen a few years from now when they're cheap.

[@ddhrxvv]

How has been 12600k treating you? And what motherboard have u chosen?

[@JavierRiquelme]

14600k almost 2x prioce of the 12600k

[@mieciubimber9404]

very good comparison:)

[@toutagamon]

can you do 14500 vs 12600k/13600k/12700k/13700k/

[@qjyeah854]

advise：if test cpu,Far Cry 6（even far cry 3）、Hogwarts legacy（no frame generation）、gotham knights.

[@Vikey6699]

Is the Turbo Frequency of the i5 12600k @4,9GHz/3,7GHz ?

[@maieuth6501]

Yes it is

[@Vikey6699]

yes but not in this clip

[@jotunbjorn]

@@Vikey6699It's 4500 for all core workload, you can bump this to 4,9 in bios without touching voltages if you have a good cooler.

[@potatochine-gun]

​@@jotunbjornlisten, u can def touch the voltages and undervolt a bit if u want. I think custom voltages are a bit on the high side 🧐 But still, nothin a good aircooler cant handle

[@fragmata2000]

For singel Player no Upgrade. multiplayer low settings 100%worth Huge difrent.😊

[@justfun5479]

Unless you find a great deal for the 13600k, it's better waiting ZEN5 and Arrow Lake. They should both release this year.

[@linhoanthuy9322]

12600k in this video isn't reach max performance

[@justfun5479]

Finally, the boss is back 🗿

Maybe 😅

At the moment I play more with toddler toys (Duplo, etc.) than with PC hardware 😄

Best cpu is 12600 non k but intel hate 12600

[@yinitialize4930]
