Core i5-10400F vs Core i5-12500T comparison
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-10400F performs better than the Core i5-12500T. Despite this, the Core i5-12500T has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-10400F has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12500T. Despite this, the Core i5-12500T has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-12500T outputs less heat than Core i5-10400F thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-12500T has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-10400F. The Core i5-12500T also has significantly more L3 cache.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-10400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
