What reviewers say

Reviews praise its budget gaming performance, useful extra E-cores for threaded work and compatibility with inexpensive DDR4 motherboards. It needs less elaborate cooling than faster K models, although performance still trails them. Comparisons with the Core i5-12600K vary by workload and test system.
