The Intel Core i5-12500 processor delivers robust computing power tailored for mainstream desktops and workstations. Part of Intel's 12th Gen Alder Lake family (Intel 7 process node / 10 nm-class), it features 6 cores and 12 threads with Hyper-Threading support on performance cores, enabling efficient multitasking and enhanced performance. Its base clock speed is 3.0 GHz with a maximum turbo boost up to 4.6 GHz, suitable for everyday computing and demanding applications.

Equipped with 18 MB Intel Smart Cache and 7.5 MB L2 cache, the processor optimizes data access speed for improved responsiveness. It supports up to 128 GB of dual-channel DDR4 or DDR5 memory (motherboard dependent), allowing flexible memory configurations.

The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 offers 32 execution units, with a base frequency of 300 MHz and turbo up to 1.45 GHz, supporting high-resolution display outputs where supported by the motherboard (DisplayPort/HDMI/eDP standards vary by board). With a thermal design power (TDP) of 65 W and a maximum turbo power of 117 W, this CPU balances performance and efficiency. It uses the LGA1700 socket and supports modern platform features such as PCIe 5.0/4.0 and DMI 4.0.
