Best of for child 3-5 years ?

For a 3-5 year old kid, no because Fortnite and Roblox don't need this much power. For a teenager with absurdly high standards and wants their computer running hot all the time, then yes it would be future-proof for 3-5 years.

Does it come with Avx-512 set instructions?

Hello! Thank you for your question. The Avx-512 is exclusive to the some Xeon processors. This being an i9 processor, does not count with that instruction set. Thank you for choosing Intel.

does it come in the original packaging aka what is shown in the pictures?

Exactly as shown in the pictures. Lots of pointless packaging. Personally I'd prefer it was packaged like the NVMe drive, but then packaging does not impress me.

How long will this cpu be relevant?

Hi there. Thank you for your question. The 12th Gen Intel Core processors are the first based on Intel 7 process technology and the new performance hybrid architecture. They were launched in 2021 with a lot of advanced technologies to enable major performance gains across a wide range of today's PC workloads. Thank you for choosing Intel!

B**A

Buy it, same as 13th Gen just more CPU usage

Super good, I'd say better value for money than the 13th Gen version due to being able to achieve the same frames on games, though more CPU usage is used (not significant enough to notice).Summary, great performance if you want a high-end CPU.Easy installation as expected with a normal cpu, no surprises.I run everything max graphics settings and it never gets too hot. Great base speed
