The Intel Core i5-12400F is a standout performer in Intel’s 12th Gen Alder Lake lineup, offering exceptional value and powerful performance for gamers, creators, and multitaskers. Featuring 6 Performance-cores and 12 threads, this processor delivers smooth, efficient performance for gaming, productivity, and everyday computing.
With clock speeds up to 4.4GHz, support for both DDR5 and DDR4 memory, and PCIe 5.0 compatibility, the i5-12400F is ready for modern builds. Built on the efficient Intel 7 process, it offers strong single-thread and multi-thread performance without the need for hybrid E-cores—making it stable and predictable across a range of tasks.
As an “F” series processor, it does not have integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required. It includes the Intel Laminar RM1 cooler, making it a great plug-and-play solution for powerful mid-range systems.
