Intel CPU Core i5-12400F
Product Description:
Power your next desktop build with balanced performance and efficiency using the Intel Core i5-12400F 6-Core Processor, a 12th Generation Alder Lake CPU designed for mainstream gaming, productivity, and everyday computing. Featuring 6 performance cores and 12 threads, this processor delivers responsive performance across multitasking workloads, content creation, and modern games alike. Built on Intel’s advanced Intel 7 manufacturing process, the i5-12400F offers a compelling mix of speed and power efficiency on the LGA 1700 socket platform.
Unlike processors with integrated graphics, the “F” designation indicates that this CPU does not include onboard graphics, making it ideal for systems with a dedicated GPU. With a 2.5 GHz base clock and dynamic Turbo Boost up to 4.4 GHz, the i5-12400F provides competitive performance for gaming and demanding applications without wasting power on unused features.
Supporting both DDR4 and DDR5 memory (depending on motherboard), dual-channel memory architecture, and PCIe Gen 5/Gen 4 expansion lanes, this CPU gives builders flexibility and future-ready capabilities for high-speed components, fast storage, and robust connectivity.
Product Features:
• 6 Cores & 12 Threads — Efficient multithreaded performance for gaming, content creation, and productivity.
• Turbo Boost Up to 4.4 GHz — Dynamic acceleration delivers extra responsiveness during demanding tasks.
• Intel 7 Architecture — Built using Intel’s 10 nm-class process for improved performance and efficiency.
• Socket LGA 1700 — Compatible with 600-series chipset motherboards and next-generation platforms.
• PCIe Gen 5 & DDR5/DDR4 Support — Enables future-ready builds with high-speed peripherals and memory (platform dependent).
• No Integrated Graphics (F-SKU) — CPU focused on raw compute performance with discrete GPU setups, ideal for gaming rigs.
