New leak confirms that the i5-12400F is a beast

The arrival of the Alder Lake range has boosted Intel’s performance at the end of the year. For the moment, the range is very limited (CPU K only) and the motherboards are expensive. But in the next few weeks, things should change with the launch of the “classic” versions and the H610 and B660 chipsets. In this lot, the i5-12400F confirms that it will be a CPU of choice for gamers in a new leak.

i5-12400F A new confirmation comes from Igor Lab, which has carried out a special exercise: It has simulated the operation of an i5-12400F from an i5-12600K. He has thus applied all the characteristics of the 12400F to his 12600K. It is obviously the case for the frequencies, the cache, the voltages but it especially disabled in the bios the E-Cores which are not present on the future 12400F. In order to put itself in the real conditions of a competitive machine, it is Corsair DDR4 3733 ram which was used. Another tester located in China could enjoy a “real” 12400F in QS version (qualification sample). The motherboard used was an OEM B660M-N D4 which also supports DDR4 memory and overclocking. He did his tests with 16GB of DDR4-3200 memory. In the synthetic tests, the 12400F beats all single-core processors within CPU-Z. It is faster than the 5600X and 11400F in multithreaded tests. It only loses to the i7-11700K, which has a much higher clock speed and more threads (16 versus 12 for the 12400F). Looking at Cinebench R23, the i5-12400F is 19% faster in multithreaded tests and 11% faster in single-threaded tests. In the TimeSpy processor score, the Intel i5-12400F is about 13% faster than the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. In most of the games tested, the 12400F performs better than the AMD 5600X, so far a benchmark for building a balanced gaming PC. All of these tests were done in 1080p. In CSGO, the i5-12400F is 4% faster, in Shadow of The Tomb Raider, the average frame rate is about equal to that of the Ryzen 5 and finally, in Red Dead Redemption 2 the 12400F is ahead. The remarkable thing about this CPU is that it has a base TDP of 65W and it seems difficult to get it to exceed 60°c…
