Description Specification Review FAQ

Description

The Intel Core i5-12400 is a capable mid-range processor designed for everyday gaming, home office work, and light content creation. Built on the 12th generation architecture, it delivers reliable performance for 1080p gaming and productivity tasks without breaking the bank. This chip strikes a practical balance between cost and capability for mainstream desktop builds. Inside you get six performance cores and twelve threads, running from a 2.5GHz base up to 4.4GHz boost, backed by 18MB of cache. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 730 handles display output and basic tasks, so you can run a system without a dedicated graphics card if your workload does not demand one. For gaming or creative work, pairing this processor with a discrete GPU unlocks its full potential. This LGA1700 chip fits Intel 600 and 700 series motherboards, including B660, H610, and Z690 chipsets. The retail box includes an Intel stock cooler in the package, so you can build a complete system without purchasing an aftermarket heatsink. With a 65W base power draw, it runs efficiently and works well in compact cases or quieter builds where thermal headroom is limited.
