I found that in the PC market now, the installed budget of my friends is generally between 4000-6000, considering that the graphics card is still very expensive, most players will still choose the CPU with a price of 1,000 yuan, after all, it is good to play games now, as a ** editing and other work computers, the bottleneck is not the CPU but the graphics card. So today, for the two hottest CPUs in this price range, I have also thought about it for a long time before, whether to choose Intel's 12600KF or AMD's 5700X3D. It's really hard to choose. Let's take a look at the intuitive parameter comparison and make a simple comparison**, in terms of key core parameters, i5-12600KF is much stronger than 5700X3D. It is a bit ahead in terms of the number of cores, frequency and cache. However, the power consumption of 5700x3d will be better, I don't know if the heat will be better. 
In the end, my choice was 12600kf, I checked it on the Internet,**Now 5700x3D is more expensive 400, probably because of the newly released CPU, the official refuses to reduce the price. 
Transferred to**, looked at the loose films**, it is basically the same, all at the price of 1,000 yuan, different stores sell differently, but the gap is very small. It seems that consumers generally believe that AMD's ** is still high in moisture. If you take into account that the 12600kf can be used with the old platform motherboard, the final board may be a little cheaper, but on the whole, I feel that these two are CPUs worth comparing at the same price! According to some reviews found online, many bloggers have tested the Intel i5-12600KF and AMD 5700X3D with the same graphics card, memory, and solid-state respectively. Whether it's running a score or a game,Intel i5-12600KF is stronger in terms of performance,I did some combing,The following data comes from the Internet,But I see that the results of most of the comparative evaluations are similar,Some of the running score results are different because of different accessories,There are different values,But the results are consistent。 
I also found the evaluation data on the Internet, and I used the form of icons to show you more intuitively. It can be seen that for mainstream games in addition to LOL, AMD 5700X3D has a higher frame rate, and other games such as Chicken, Total War, and Red Dead Redemption are all 12600kf slightly higher. 
A lot of people build desktops, which are now more productivity tools, especially those used for retouching, retouching, editing, or model rendering. And these productivity tools not only test the hardware, but also test the optimization and support of the CPU and graphics card by the research software. Among the mainstream comparison software, Intel still performs better. This is the same as our previous cognition, Intel is indeed more valued by software developers in terms of industrial software support, and Intel's design of large and small cores this time can indeed throw better results in industrial software plus, which is reasonable. 
Last year, when I helped a friend install a device, I found that AMD's cover design would be a bit problematic, which could easily lead to heat accumulation. I used to be 5800 test, although I have used 360 water cooling, but the fan has been intermittently whirring I checked the temperature curve later, and found that it is because AMD's CPU has heat accumulation, and the fan can suppress this CPU, but the heat export inside the CPU is relatively slow, so the core will reach high temperature for a moment, and even hit 99 degrees, and then the fan will whirring and turning, and then the heat is directed away, and the fan is quiet again. But once you start a game, the cycle repeats itself, and it's really painful. Correspondingly, I have also tested the 13600K CPU, and the air cooling can be suppressed at about 50, and it will not intermittently let the fan exhaust. It was quiet. Combined with the user experience, I don't like to have fans whirring in my ears often, and because there are many fans in the case now, the speed is controlled according to the temperature curve of the CPU, and the noise caused by this fluctuating speed is very torturous, so I also think that the design of Intel is more reasonable! There are a lot of similar problems on the Internet, and it seems that I am not alone. 
I don't know why, AMD's 5700X3D still doesn't support DDR5, which was actually not a disadvantage in the early years, after all, DDR5 memory was very expensive at that time, and DDR4 was more cost-effective. But now the memory ** gap is not big, and some games and software have a good optimization of memory high frequency, at this time, only support DDR4 on the 5700X3D will be a bit of a problem with little potential for future upgrades. DDR4 will be eliminated sooner or later in the course of history, and the adaptability of i5 is significantly better, even if the 14th generation changes the type of motherboard fastener, at least the 13th generation i7 can be upgraded, right? 
The above is the core reason why I finally chose the i5-12600KF this time
Configuration is simple
cpu 1260k
Motherboard Colorful B760i Frozen WiFi D5 Landing Ship This is a very small B760i motherboard that can be crammed into a small chassis, but except for the memory slots reduced to 2, the other configurations have hardly changed, and there are also 2 M2 slots, 1 of which has a heat dissipation vest and 1 on the back. The other workmanship and interfaces are almost the same as the colorful B760M. And this price is 999, the size is small, if you go to the dormitory or have a small space at home, there is no problem in changing the ITX case. Memory2 slots are also enough, after all, in the case of considering memory overclocking, everyone is a group of dual channels, and 4 slots have been filled less in the past two years. Edit Search Picture Graphics card, ASUS 3050, no new one, don't put the link Edit Search Picture Radiator Air-cooled overclocking three RZ400 V2 I don't like RGB too much, so this fan is very low-key, small, and silent, the heat dissipation capacity is also good, suppressing 12600kf I think it's completely OK, there will be a roast chicken test later. Edit Search Picture The chassis is also the popular D310 of the overclocking three, and I bought this because the overclocking three is cost-effective, the workmanship is good, and this one is the top boot, which suits my needs Hotspot Engine plan
This set can be done now**5,000 basically, but my graphics card was bought a long time ago, and the memory and solid-state are also disassembled from the old computer. So I won't post a ** order here, but if you go to the computer according to a similar configuration, in addition to the graphics card is thrifty and frugal, the total price is 4-6k, which should be able to match a very good computer. Let's start with CPU-Z, the single-core reached 721 points, and the multi-core was very strong 6448 points!
Let's have a fool-like software, which is also a very commonly used Master Lu! Master Lu will integrate the mainstream models on the market,So the following radar chart is actually quite meaningful,CPU running score has reached 678185,And the other configurations of this computer are very strong,3050Become a bottleneck,If you have enough budget,You can increase the graphics card budget。 So now CPU12600KF really won't become a bottleneck for most people, it's completely enough!
Let's take a look at the AIDA test, after running the CPU, the memory read and write exceeded 78000MB s, and the floating point arithmetic single core also exceeded 1058Gflops.
The CPU-Queen score is not low, it is as high as 85386.
Running photoworxx, the speed has 47765 megapixels in seconds, very powerful!
The CPU benchmark in 3DMark is 7448 points under the maximum thread and 7528 points for 16 threads, which may be due to the fluctuation of the size core, but the overall score is very stable.
Test the graphics card,Speed Way,Ran 1519 points,Sure enough, 3050 is a little unworthy of 12600kf,You can buy 4060 or 4070 to match。
Let's take a look at the roast chicken, first look at the CPU Burner, you can see that the heat of 12600kf is indeed not large, even if the air cooling of a single fan can be suppressed at 60 degrees Celsius. Very satisfied, the previous AMD heat accumulation ran this, it was an intermittent whirring fan spinning. With a temperature of 60 degrees, the air-cooled fan is not running at full power!
The GPU level 3050 is not seriously heated, and at a room temperature of 10 degrees, it is also a max of 51 degrees Celsius.
Try it again to see AIDA's stability test CPU performance has been played to 100%, because the software is a little problematic, so I still use Master Lu's view, 67 degrees Celsius, the temperature is not high.
The frame rate is directly used with the tools that come with Windows, because this tool will automatically stop if you take a screenshot of fps, so part of the fps value, my mobile phone shooting.
