Core i5-12400 vs Core i5-13600K specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-13600K 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.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-13600K has slightly more cores than the Core i5-12400. Indeed, the Core i5-13600K has 8 cores compared to 6 cores found in the Core i5-12400. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-13600K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12400. Also, the Core i5-13600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-12400 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-13600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. 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.
