What is wrong with the Core i5-12600K?

What is wrong with the Core i5-12600K?

My guess is it was reviewed before newer bios came out.

This chart makes me think how good of a value 5600X has been all this time. Even now it performs very solidly against the latest from Intel.

The only thing is that i3-12100 should be compared against i5-10400 (if comparing current alternatives from previous generations) instead of i3-10100, as the i5 is the one that is similarly priced and the older i3 has much lower price. Basicaly the same 30% lower price for the same performance drop.

5600x was getting sold for over $300 a year ago. It is now getting matched by a $169 12400F. Doesn’t seem to be a good value for “all the time” when a $300 class CPU becomes a sub $170 class CPU within a year. There wasn’t much inflation when 5600X launched for AMD to jack up the Ryzen 5 price by $50. Consumer mentality like yours can make them increase the price again this year by another $50 or may even be more since now there is an inflation to blame as well.

AMD was a little too proud of their accomplishment in Ryzen 5000 at launch for sure.

Can we appreciate that 4 cores is still relevant in offline/single-player gaming though!

too proud? They overcame their only rival for the first time in a decade and did so quite handily.
I'd say they were right on the money........

I think Mr. Writer did a mistake in the explanation of the difference between 12100 and 12100F - prices, with/without unlocked (?) graphics and the second comparison table - the pricing...
So, the question:
Which one is the cheaper? Which is the one with the integrated graphics? Which one has this QuickSync business?
Or?
I think there is an error...
