![]() But Intel launched Alder Lake with only high-end Z690-class motherboards in two, which carry a steep price premium. You can easily buy budget or mainstream models of AMD’s AM4 500-series motherboards. These are both great processors for gaming or productivity, and they’re both going for roughly $300, but the Ryzen 5000-series has been available for over a year now so its surrounding motherboard stack is fully fleshed out. Overall, the Core i5-12600K is definitely the chip we’d recommend for most people-but there’s a caveat. It wins in games, too, though the margins are closer there: In our eight-game testing suite, Intel pulled off four wins and two ties, with the Ryzen chip pulling out a pair of definitive wins. On the raw performance front, Intel’s new 10-core, 16-thread Core i5-12600K crushes AMD’s rival 6-core, 12-thead Ryzen 5 5600X in multi-core tasks and Office productivity.
