The Intel Core i5-12400 is a 12th Gen Alder Lake desktop processor that strikes an excellent balance between performance and value. Built with 6 Performance-cores (P-cores) and 12 threads, it’s optimized for everyday multitasking, productivity, and gaming when paired with a discrete GPU.
Clocked at 2.5GHz base and up to 4.4GHz turbo boost, the i5-12400 ensures smooth performance for workloads like editing, office work, and media consumption. It supports both DDR5 (up to 4800 MT/s) and DDR4 (up to 3200 MT/s) memory, along with PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 interfaces, making it future-ready for fast storage and graphics upgrades.
Unlike the 12400F, this version features Intel UHD Graphics 730, so it can be used without a dedicated GPU—ideal for users building an affordable, efficient PC for office or home use.
