Top gaming performance at a sensible price, Six P cores plus four E cores beats Ryzen 5 hollow, Excellent value for money, Runs nice and cool under load, We found 500MHz overclocking was quick and simple,
You need a new 600-series motherboard and right now that means Z690, Core i5 uses about 40W more than Ryzen 5 under load, KitGuru says: We'll be updating this review with more information and benchmarks shortly, but for now everything you need to know is
Superior to AMD's 5950X in most benchmarks, Improved gaming performance, Superb single/multi-core performance, Both CPUs offer integrated graphics, 12900K marginally cheaper than 5950X

Stupidly good multi-core performance, Really good single-core performance, Value that breaks new ground
DDR5 option drives up pricing, Prices likely to be initially high, If you just game, who cares what CPU you have
