Core i5-12400 vs FX-8350 specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Core i5-12400 beats the FX-8350 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-8350 in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12400 has significantly more cores than the FX-8350. Indeed, the Core i5-12400 has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the FX-8350. It also has more threads than the FX-8350. Our comparison shows that the FX-8350 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12400. Despite this, the Core i5-12400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-12400 CPU outputs less heat than a FX-8350 CPU because of its 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 i5-12400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
