On October 30, 2026 the Intel Core i5-12600K Desktop Processor costs $275.02 at Amazon, sold by Perfect Stock. Its usual price over the 8 days we have recorded since October 23, 2026 is $279.67; today’s price is the lowest we have recorded.
The middle price across the 8 days we have watched it, counting the days a limited-time deal was running, was $279.67. Today's price is also the lowest we have recorded, so our record has nothing lower to wait for, but a price this close to the usual one is not a discount, whatever former price is printed beside it.
The lowest since we started tracking it on October 23, 2026.
Amazon puts its typical price at $289.00: the middle of what customers paid there over 90 days, promotions left out.
