I5 V I7 Processor

Amazing core i5!!! Good processor at a good price

Came from i7 7700k to i5 12600k is a massive improvement, with 299 price is a great CPU for this price Highly Recommend this CPU.

I had a 2014 iMac with an i5 that I enjoyed, the 2020 i7 8 core that I bought is a lot more machine and they are now being discounted. I don't need the latest tech but my new machine has 64 Gb of RAM and is much faster, I use it with Photoshop and for video editing. I had my last iMac for 7 years with not a single problem, a well made machine. I was an original apple developer in 1997 and I still favor Apple products.

This processor is perfect for my needs of gaming. I was on the fence about the i7 vs this one and I wasn't disappointed with the performance.

Replaced older I5 processor. Cannot believe how much it has reduced time to work on photos.

This processor is a great upgrade from my older intel i5 6600k. It's about on par with the Ryzen 5800x 3D in gaming performance and beats it in productivity. I got this for 230 dollars during Black Friday weekend and am very satisfied with the purchase.

It was kind of a struggle getting my hand on this item. Compared to my old pc with an i5 processor from 2013. This was significantly superior. Everything is now running with ease. A little hiccup here and now but overall amazing.

I wanted to buy a Mac Mini, but my budget was limited. I finally decided on a model with a 6-core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. The unit was on sale at B&H for $999, a saving of $100. The SSD size is fine--I can expand storage with the use of external SSDs, which are becoming increasingly affordable. I wanted more RAM, but that gets expensive at Apple's prices. Then, on checkout, B&H offered me 32 GB of RAM (to replace the existing 8 GB) for $128. That looked appealing, but, klutz that I am, I was unwilling to open up my new computer and try to install the RAM myself. Then I saw that B&H would install the RAM for me for $40. And, since their techs are Apple-certified, the installation would not void my Apple warranty. I went for it. Bottom line: I got a Mac Mini with a 6-core i5 processor, 32 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD for $1167. A Mac Mini identically preconfigured by Apple would have cost me $1699. I saved $532 (31 percent).

After years of enduring a 10 year old i5-750 processor, it was time to upgrade. I was initially pricing out an Intel processor and liquid cooler. For the same price. I ended up going with a 40% more powerful AMD processor, which comes with a decent cooler! The cooler is pretty quiet at idle/light workloads. At higher loads, it's a bit noisy. If you are a silent PC enthusiast, I'd suggest upgrading your cooler to a BeQuiet or Noctua CPU cooler. Even on the stock cooler the processor works quite well. Idles at 36-38ºC and full load it goes up to 75º with PBO off and 85º with PBO on. Benches at ~4800 on Cinebench R20. I expect to see a slight improvement once my 3200MHz RAM upgrade arrives! (currently on single channel 2400MHz) I decided to go with the ASUS Strix X470-F Gaming Motherboard, it is more than enough to handle this processor.

I was concerned about getting an i5 processor. But this HP ENVY Desktop TE01-1165t PC is a monster. It boots up faster than my i7 Envy Laptop. It has everything I wanted and I'm very happy with my purchase.
