hello guys, i recently bought the i5 12600k with a z690 ud ax motherboard and zoomflow 240x liquid cooler? i mainly use my pc for gaming only
and i play pubg mobile on the gameloop emulator did i make the right choice to get the i5 or i should have gone for the i7 12700k?
should i regret my decision or not?

The 12700K is better, yes, but not so massively better that it would make sense switching. The 12700K is only a handful percent better iirc. You likely won't feel a difference unless you run a 3090Ti or similar at 1080p. Considering you play a mobile game, I would say you got nothing to fear here. Likely a 12400 would have been more than enough already.

you know gameloop emulator is cpu intensive thats why i was asking if i made the right choice and i think most emulators are cpu intensive
