Intel Core i5-12400 vs Intel Core i5-12400F

Core i5-12400 vs Core i5-12400F benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12400F beats the Core i5-12400 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-12400 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Both the Core i5-12400 and Core i5-12400F have the same clock speed. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-12400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
