Intel® Core™ i5-12600T

The Intel Core i5-12600T is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, built on the Alder Lake architecture (Intel 7 process). It launched in Jan 2022. Clocks run from 2.1 GHz base to 4.6 GHz boost. A 18-MB L3 cache backs the cores (4.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR5, DDR4 memory up to 128 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1700 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (20 lanes). Rated TDP is 35 W. Notable platform capabilities: Deep Learning Boost, AVX-VNNI, Extended Page Tables (EPT), AES-NI.

The Intel Core i5-12600T scores 3,544 in single-core performance and 17,438 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 7,861 for overall performance, 16,296 for productivity performance, 15,970 for creator performance, 17,329 for engineering performance and 14,992 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,906 per core, 1,453 per thread and 498 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,329. Its performance index is 97, so its overall performance is 3% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i5-12600T scores 54,895 in integer math, 42,452 in floating-point math, 195,065 in compression, 10,188 in cryptography, 1,207 in physics simulation, 13,153 in vector SIMD, 75 in the prime sieve and 20,184 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 7% below in integer math, 8% below in floating-point math, 14% below in compression, 11% below in cryptography, 11% above in physics simulation, 15% below in vector SIMD, 12% above in the prime sieve and 11% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i5-12600T has 6 physical cores and runs 12 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.10 GHz and boosts up to 4.60 GHz.
