Intel Core i5 12600HX

14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh

10 Cores 16 Threads Up to 4.6 GHz LGA 1700

4.8 (128 reviews)

A desktop-class HX variant of the 12600H, carrying the same ten-core, sixteen-thread hybrid layout but built on Intel's desktop Alder Lake die rather than the mobile-specific one, running at a higher 55W envelope.

A 4.6GHz boost clock and the extra power budget make it a strong fit for high-end gaming laptops that prioritize sustained CPU performance over battery life.
