I'm still waiting for a 6 performance core i3.
Yeah, on a related note, I find it a little strange they haven't made an unlocked version of the i5-12600. It uses the H0 die, consisting of 6P + 0E. Instead, the i5-12600K is based on a partially-enabled C0 die, which natively has 8P + 8E cores.

However, what I've read about the H0 die is that it's more efficient than the larger dies, due to things like a smaller ring bus, but is harder to cool, due to there being less die area for heat transfer to the heatspreader. So, maybe that cooling limitation is why they didn't make an unlocked version.
