Popular chips like the i5-12400/12400F/12500/12600K deliver exceptional real-world responsiveness for heavy web multitasking, spreadsheets, CRM, Zoom/Teams, POS systems, classroom labs, light content creation, and smooth 1080p gaming—all with practical power and thermals. Every processor is professionally graded, deep-cleaned, and stress-tested under load, so deployment is painless whether you’re upgrading one desktop or refreshing an entire fleet.

Why choose i5 12th-Gen (Alder Lake)
• Core layout: Up to 6 Performance cores / 12 threads on 12400/12500; 12600K adds 4 Efficient cores (board/cooling dependent)
• Graphics: Intel UHD 730/770 on non-F models for dual-display setups and modern hardware decode; “F” variants require a discrete GPU
• Memory: Flexible platform—run DDR4-3200 for value builds or DDR5-4800 on newer boards
• Storage & I/O: PCIe 5.0 x16 for GPUs plus PCIe 4.0 lanes for blazing NVMe SSDs
• Acceleration: Intel Quick Sync Video, SSE4.2, AVX2, VT-x/VT-d (model-dependent) to speed media, virtualization, and security-minded workloads

Platform & compatibility
• Socket: LGA1700 for 600/700-series motherboards (H610, B660, H670, Z690; B760, H770, Z790)
• Update to the latest BIOS for best stability, memory profiles (XMP/EXPO), and CPU recognition
• Ensure your cooler includes LGA1700 mounting for proper pressure and thermal performance
