True but the 12600K is at $280 right now so that's a $55 difference plus it's 125W TDP and no stock cooler so if you are building on a budget (which most of these cpus are for) you have to add that cost as well so now you are looking at a hundred bucks which could go towards RAM or an NVME.

Finally, cheaper than Microcenter. But, can't beat Microcenter's extra $50off promotion expire at the end of this month.

New builds should go 12400 in this price range. Upgrading an AM4 rig then this is a good price. There's a reason I went all AM4 in my house since 2017. Moved around a 1600AF, 3100, 3600, 3700X and more recently a 5600G for the kid's computer.

Finally getting closer to where it should be. Still a great CPU and motherboards are cheap.

12600k would cost more than twice as much after a few years of usage, considering the much higher wattage.

The $280 12600k is better than the $350 5800x. So its weird people compare it to the 5600x.

The $180 12400F is the same performance as the 5600x. So the 5600x is still overpriced with this 'deal'.

12400F similar performance with cooler for $180 wouldn't be paying $225 for 6 cores at this point.

Easy to find a used am4 board for cheap to put this in a similar price range to intel once you factor in a Motherboard.

AMD's AM4 platform is close to EOL after a whopping 5 years.

AM5 motherboards will be released in Q2, along with Zen 3+ / Ryzen 6000 desktop APUs initially.

The next big upgrade Zen 4 / Ryzen 7000 is planned for Q3 2022.

Not to mention ddr5 ram and motherboard premiums.

And possibly more fan noise trying to cool that 125?

I'm seeing 229 at Mc and I think it's before mb combo.
