High-performance
Moving on from a very old i5, it's night and day in terms of performance. Happy with my purchase :)

Cores at work
Intel's new high-performance hybrid architecture integrates two core families into one processor for a smoother gaming experience. Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages workloads by determining which core is best suited for each task. Performance cores are designed for unique, low-thread count workloads, enhancing activities such as video gaming or productivity tasks. Efficiency cores are optimised for multi-threading by reducing interruptions from secondary tasks.
Reach new heights
With high frequencies, achieve high performance in games. Confidently take on your opponents or explore new worlds with a revolutionary processor architecture that focuses on what matters. Intel 12th generation processors are simply designed for the next generation of gaming.

Received 1 month after ordering from LDLC. Complicated logistics.
Not much time (one week), currently working but I haven't pushed it to its limits yet.Review automatically translated -

Just a little problem with the CPU
No worries on the other hand my i5-12600K I had activated in the BIOS the XMP
But I did not pay attention right away in the task manager, my i5-12600k in the task manager was running in 6 cores 10 threads instead of 10 cores 16 threads. I have to manually activate in the bios in advanced CPU setting set the max number of cores, it ran for a few months bridged my proc as a result.
A bit disappointing that the CPU core setting is not calibrated directly and requires user intervention.Review automatically translated -

CLEAR
Everything is OK.
Just one thing to point out: the ram was set to 3200MHz in the bios instead of 3600MHz.Review automatically translated -

Very good processor
Not having the means to go for an I7 or even an I9, this I5 defends itself very well: with watercooling it hardly heats up, and the performance in games, even very greedy ones, is not felt. It's perfect.
