CPU performance punches above its station in bench testing, Reasonable price-per-core, High overclock ceiling
Testing games with integrated graphics was bumpy, and slower than AMD's competition, Z690 platform demands high cost of adoption, versus CPU purchase price, At launch, not compatible with some games that use Denuvo DRM protection
For PC gamers and budget-constrained creative types, Intel's "Alder Lake" Core i5-12600K punches well above its weight in gaming and content creation alike. Just know that the cost of adoption (memory, motherboard, cooler) may make waiting a bit to upgr...

The best CPU for gaming in 2021, Faster than the Core i9 11900K, A more efficient Alder Lake chip
Still more powerhungry than Ryzen, Doesn't play nice with some games
The Core i5 12600K is the best CPU for gaming in 2021. It's faster than a Core i9 11900K, and brings with it support for the latest tech in DDR5 and PCIe 5.0. For that, I dare say it's actually a great PC building deal in 2021...

The new Intel i9-12900K & i5-12600K CPU's provide an impressive performance boost which deliver a true next-gen experience, although it does come at a cost with the latest hardware...
As we saw in our initial review of Alder Lake with the 12900K, this platform is a huge jump for Intel. The 12600K cements the lineup as the entry-level CPU and gateway for many gamers to DDR5 and PCIe 5.0, and I suspect many of you have already been think...
We can't write our conclusion without talking about price. Today, the Ryzen 5 5600X still goes for $299 to $309 on the street. Intel's Core i5-12600K is priced at $289 in bulk quantities. Its street price will no doubt be higher initially but we want to p...
