Intel Core i5-11400F vs Intel Core i5-12500T

Core i5-11400F vs Core i5-12500T specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12500T is faster than the Core i5-11400F. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11400F in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-11400F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12500T. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i5-12500T outputs less heat than Core i5-11400F thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i5-11400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
