i5-12600k beats every Intel CPU released up to now (not including current gen i7 and i9). No reason to get the lambasted 11th-gen unless the extra 12th-gen mobo costs turn you off ($220+ish for the cheapest i think)

I guess it depends on the use. In the Passmark world it's worse (20k vs 25k for the i7-11700k). It is $50 cheaper which is nice, but it also cost more for motherboards etc etc with the new socket.

Also beats the 5600x and slightly the 5800x (while using less power) for a $264 MSRP (12600kf).
Cheapest board is $180 last I looked on Newegg. But B660 the mainstream/value chipset should be here at CES in 2 months, should see boards starting around $120.
But yeah, id absolutely recommend the 12600kf over a 11700k, 5600x, or 5800x at current prices.
