The Core i5-12500H processor from Intel was officially introduced to the market :year_text. Thanks to the use of the 10 nm process node, the manufacturer achieved an excellent balance of performance. The chip is installed in the compatible motherboards socket. The processor features an advanced hybrid architecture, offering 12 cores (4 performance and 8 efficiency) and capable of handling up to 16 threads simultaneously. By default, the cores function at 2.5 GHz. During resource-intensive tasks, the clock speed boosts to an impressive 4.5 GHz. The L3 smart cache size is 18 MB, which positively affects the overall system responsiveness. The processor's base thermal design power (TDP) is stated at 45 W. However, under maximum load, consumption can increase up to 95 W. This is an uncompromising option for gaming. The chip demonstrates outstanding results in esports disciplines and demanding open-world games, minimizing frame rate drops (1% Low).
