It’s time to save some money with a few more deals from Newegg. If you’ve been considering upgrading your CPU or starting a PC build from scratch, then there’s some good news for you. Newegg’s got some very good deals on offer here, with three CPUs that each deliver some impressive performance. Intel’s i5-12600K and its i7-12700K are both on sale, alongside AMD’s Ryzen 5 5600X. It’s also worth pointing out that the prices here are the lowest that these CPUs have been next to Micro Center’s offers in December. But it won’t be that case for much longer as some of these offerings are going to disappear later today, so act quickly.
Currently, Intel’s i5-12600K is on sale for $279.99 when using the accompanying promo code (MSRP $320), this Alder Lake CPU has a pretty impressive discount. Sporting 10 cores in total, divided up between six performance cores and four efficient cores, this CPU packs in a lot for the price. As we noted in our review, the performance here is almost on-par with older eight-core processors. Thanks to improved multi-threaded performance though, it’s able to handle multi-tasking much better, regardless of whether you’re streaming or using other applications while playing games.
Much of the same can be said for Intel’s i7-12700K, on sale for $364.99 (MSRP $450) when using the promo code. Except here, you’re getting eight performance cores and four efficient cores. With these higher clocking extra cores, you can expect better performance in the most demanding games. All while ensuring your background apps are running smoothly too.
These CPUs also have the benefit of being a part of Intel’s latest Alder Lake generation of processors, meaning that it’s a cheaper and easier way to access the newer features
