Yea that's true. I will say that Intel is technically giving you more cores for the money.

The 12600K/F is supposed to have 6 big cores and 4 small cores vs the 5600X 6 big cores. And if Alder Lake S big cores are faster than Zen 3's big cores, then that's even better. Similar situation with their 12700k with 8 big cores and 4 small cores vs 8 big cores against the 5800X. But it starts to fall flat once you go to i9 though as then you have 8 big cores and 8 small cores vs 12 big cores against 5900x.
