Intel Core i5-12400F vs Intel Core i3-4150

Core i5-12400F vs Core i3-4150 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12400F is faster than the Core i3-4150. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i3-4150 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-12400F has significantly more cores than the Core i3-4150. Indeed, the Core i5-12400F has 6 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Core i3-4150. It also has more threads than the Core i3-4150. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-4150 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12400F. The Core i3-4150 outputs less heat than Core i5-12400F thanks to a slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the Core i5-12400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
