The AMD A10-5700 is a quad-core Trinity APU (combined CPU and GPU) based on launched in Q4 of 2012. The A10-5700 is reasonably power efficient with a TDP of 65 Watts. In terms of performance the A10-5700 scores an effective speed of 68 versus the A10-6800K’s 73. Its base clock speed is 3.4 GHz which automatically turbo boosts to 4.0 GHz when needed and is sufficient for most generic desktop applications. The integrated HD 8670 Graphics are comparable to Intel's recent HD offerings. The A10-5700 offers reasonable performance at a reasonable price point. But comparing the A10-6700 and i3-4330 shows that the comparably priced 4330 is a far more compelling alternative given its almost outright advantage on every metric. [Dec '14CPUPro]
Intel's i5 12500 is a weird processor. It is around $40 more expensive than the i5 12400(F) for slightly higher clocks and a better iGPU that most gamers will not care about - which is the thing Alder Lake focuses most on from what we've seen. It is not good value. This does not mean it is a bad CPU, it is still very capable of gaming and could be more capable in workstation and desktop use thanks to the improved iGPU. I do not believe it deserves a $40 tax for those situations though. [Apr '22Waaaaaal]
