Intel Core i5-12400F vs Intel Core i5-11260H

Core i5-12400F vs Core i5-11260H specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-12400F is faster than the Core i5-11260H. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11260H in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-11260H has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-12400F. In addition, both chips have the same turbo speed. The Core i5-11260H outputs less heat than Core i5-12400F 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 i5-12400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
