High stability: It can maintain stable operation in complex usage environments, reducing the probability of system crashes, blue screens and other problems, making it suitable for enterprise office, scientific research and other scenarios with high stability requirements.
Value for money is the best choice
This is something I’ve never seen before; recently, memory prices have seen a similar situation. If you use DDR5 memory, the cost of building a PC will increase significantly. As a second-best option, choose DDR4 memory and pair it with a DDR4 motherboard; the price-performance ratio becomes much better, and it’s truly a great deal.
Here we can choose either the 12th generation i5-12400F or i5-12490F CPUs, offering excellent value for money. These are low-power CPUs, so they can be easily cooled with a budget air cooler. No other factors need to be considered; from a price perspective, these two CPUs are the top choices.
mainstream configuration
Both 13th and 14th generation CPUs still use LGA1700 motherboards. You can choose the appropriate configuration based on your needs; this is basically the mainstream configuration for current PC builds. Personally, I think the 14th generation CPU is better, offering improved compatibility and stability with high-frequency DDR5 memory (such as DDR5-6000+), while retaining PCIe 5.0 support, making it compatible with next-generation high-performance graphics cards and SSDs. It also supports backwards to DDR4 memory and motherboards, allowing you to choose between DDR4 and DDR5 according to your needs.
The 14600KF is a recommended choice given its recent price. Models with the K or KF suffix are suitable for overclocking, representing advanced gaming. Therefore, when choosing a motherboard and memory, it’s advisable to consider a good motherboard, such as a Z790 with DDR5 memory. Paired with an RTX 5060 Ti graphics card, this constitutes a mainstream PC configuration that can smoothly run most 2K AAA games while also handling applications such as video editing and graphic design.
This series offers different tiers, catering to users with varying needs, whether they are gaming enthusiasts or productivity enthusiasts, and whether they prioritize ultimate performance or cost-effectiveness, there is a suitable CPU to choose from.
I recommend the Ultra 5 230F and Ultra 5 225F, as well as the Ultra 7 265K and the top-of-the-line Ultra 9 285K.
