Intel CPU Core i5-12400F 6C/12T 2.5GHz 18Mb LGA1700 65W w/o graphics TRAY
Features
The Intel Core i5-12400F belongs to the Alder Lake family and includes only performance cores without efficiency cores. Six cores run in twelve threads thanks to Hyper-Threading, delivering strong multi-threaded performance in current workloads.
Base clock of 2.5 GHz and all-core turbo up to 4.4 GHz enable smooth handling of gaming, video editing and multitasking. The 18 MB L3 cache reduces latency for frequently accessed data.
Lack of integrated graphics lowers cost and heat output, making the CPU a natural fit for builds with mid-range or higher discrete GPUs. Rated 65 W TDP and peak 117 W allow the use of stock or budget tower coolers.
The processor supports DDR4-3200 and DDR5-4800 in dual-channel mode with a maximum capacity of 128 GB. Twenty PCI Express 5.0/4.0 lanes provide ample bandwidth for modern graphics cards and NVMe storage.
