Intel Core i5-12500 3GHz Processor 6 Core for Socket 1700 in Box with Heatsink

Key features:

  • Microarchitecture Alder Lake
  • Threads: 12
  • Max Frequency: 4.6 GHz
  • Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 770
  • Cache Memory: 18 MB
  • Thermal Design Power (TDP): 65 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)

  • 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.

Description

Description

The processor Intel Core i5-12500 is aimed at users seeking an efficient solution for desktop computers with a focus on gaming and several general-purpose applications. It is part of the 12th generation of Intel Core processors and offers strong performance compared to previous i5 processors.

It features 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base frequency of 3 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.6 GHz.

A heatsink is included in the package.

Manufactured using the Hybrid Core architecture with the Intel 7 process, the 12 cores of the 12th generation i7 combine the performance of four Efficient-core and eight Performance-core. The low-voltage Efficient cores handle background tasks for multitasking, while the Performance cores provide speed for demanding applications and games.

Built for the next generation of gaming

Play and multitask without compromises thanks to the hybrid performance architecture of the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors.

Level up your game and then some

Get the best gaming performance in the world and create without compromises. Intel's hybrid performance architecture makes it possible with up to eight performance cores and up to eight efficiency cores.

Get superior performance where it counts

Stream, browse, edit, video chat, or simply handle your tasks at home. Whatever you do, rely on 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors for the performance boost you need, where you need it most.

Immersive Experiences

Whether you are tackling the latest game titles or focusing on advanced professional applications, the 12th generation Intel Core desktop processors allow you to enjoy your daily life without interruptions. Intel UHD Graphics powered by Xe Architecture invite you to take a deep dive into new vivid experiences with enhanced visual support for HDR video up to 8K in billions of colors and up to 4 simultaneous 4K displays. The 12th generation Intel Core desktop processors are capable of canceling interruptions with improved Gaussian & Neural Accelerator 3.0 (GNA) for more efficient noise elimination and background blurring in video.

Next-level performance

With high clock speeds, Performance-cores and Efficient-cores, more cache, and AI acceleration, you can play, stream, edit, video chat, browse, or simply get your tasks done faster and better than ever before.

Enhanced Collaboration

Along with high-performance cores, the optimized features and platform technologies allow you to do more of what you do every day, faster and better. Additionally, you will look and sound your best during video conferencing with supported AI features such as noise cancellation, lighting correction, and background blur.

An immersive entertainment center

The Intel® Iris® Xe and Intel UHD Graphics integrated into the processor allow you to edit and create in stunning 8K HDR quality, as well as enjoy 4K UHD content streaming, power virtual reality, and play popular and demanding games. Additionally, reach another level when combined with Intel® Arc™ - the new line of high-performance consumer graphics products.

Intel Thread Director

The brand-new Intel Thread Director technology is part of the new family of 12th generation Intel Core processors. It intelligently monitors and analyzes workloads, directing the right workload to the right core at the right time, to deliver incredible performance and responsiveness.

Intel Core 12th Gen Processors Shine for Creators and Gamers

The new Intel Core 12th generation desktop processor is Intel's most scalable architecture, combining performance cores and efficient cores for an unparalleled level of performance for the world of creators and gamers. Featuring a maximum turbo boost of up to 5.2 GHz and up to 16 cores and 24 threads, the "unlocked" desktop processors help level up overall performance for #gaming and professional creators.

    I wanted to get the i5-13500 but I couldn't wait until the new year and besides, I won't be using it because there are no amazing applications at the moment. That's why I don't need a graphics card for now, the processor's is sufficient for me. Maybe the 12400 would have suited me, but the difference between them was small and I got it with interest-free installments, so...
    As for performance, transitioning from a prehistoric computer to this one, and without playing games, everything seems wonderful and fast to me. It's like going from a Nissan Micra to a Porsche :)
