Intel Core i5-10600KF 4.1GHz Processor 6 Core for Socket 1200 in Box

Key features:

  • Microarchitecture Comet Lake
  • 12 threads
  • Maximum frequency 4.80 GHz
  • Cache Memory 12 MB
  • Unlocked
  • Thermal Design Power (TDP) 95 W
See full description

  • CPU Speed

    The speed at which the processor operates in everyday use.

    During the execution of demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency may automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency.

  • Cores

    The natural individual processing units that the processor has. The more cores a processor has, the more efficient it is in running multiple applications simultaneously. For simple use, 4 cores are sufficient, while for gaming and video processing, at least 6 are recommended.

  • Socket

    The processor socket type.

    The motherboard we choose should have the same socket in order for the processor to "fit in".

  • Maximum CPU Speed

    The maximum processor frequency is the frequency that the processor can reach when executing demanding applications that use one core. Generally, when running demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency can automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency depending on the number of cores in use. (the fewer cores are active, the closer they can operate to the maximum frequency)

  • Unlocked

    Ability to change the processor clock settings to achieve higher operating frequency (overclocking).

  • Cache Memory

    Cache is a very fast memory that acts as an intermediary between the processor and RAM. It stores data that is frequently useful to the processor for faster access.

    The cpu is almost perfect for 1080p max settings gaming (- the price), although only 4 stars as it’s quite old and maybe a little bit obsolete today, as I have upgraded to an rtx 4070 super from a rtx 2060 and bought an Ultrawide 1440p monitor now I’m seeing its age, and I’m getting quite some staggers while playing games as COD BO6 or even cs2 sometimes, but for games like rdr2 I’m still getting mostly 65-70 fps on average, to be honest if u could get the cpu for 65-80 euro it would be a 5 stars, but for 100+ not really worth it if u also consider what and has to offer

    For the money I paid for it in 2023, it was just fine. Of course, now it's not worth getting the 10th generation. And with how things have turned out now, I would probably go for AMD AM5

    Very good processor for any use, it is economical, very fast in applications and games without reaching high temperatures. As an old computer user, I don't change Intel... since I never had any problems... I recommend it unreservedly.
