After the release of the AMD Ryzen™ 5000 processor with Zen 3 architecture, it dominated the desktop CPU best-seller lists such as Newegg and Meiya for a long time, and this situation was finally rewritten.
After investigation, the Newegg page shows that in the latest best-selling CPU TOP10, AMD and Intel are equally divided. However, the top two are both 12th generation Cores, namely the $277.99 Core i5-12600K and the $599.98 Core i9-12900K.
TMHW said its tests showed that the Core i5-12600K's IPC was 19% better than the 11th generation.
Tests with Win11 and DDR4 memory platforms found that game performance was generally 12% higher than that of AMD Ryzen™ 5600X.
However, the AMD Ryzen™ 5000 is now fully on the price-cutting track, on the one hand, it continues to put pressure on the 12th generation Core, on the other hand, it is also timely to clear the inventory to make way for the Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 in the second half of the year.
In the BANK of China channel, the retail price of the i5-12600K is 1249 yuan for the Ryzen 5 5600X and the Core i5-12600K is 2199 yuan.
