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!

This processor is a beast 🔥

I brought this processor for my gaming/workstation build .Combining this processor with nzxt 360 mm liquid cooling AIO , things went smoothly.It can handle literally all heavy tasks like 3d rendering , simulation , gaming , yet keeps temprature at 40c .Highly recommended for best gaming rigs .Note: 4th gen ssd is a plus for the build ... Otherwise there might be bottleneck with gen3 ssds while doing 3d rendering works .
