## Description

INTEL Core i5-12400F / 6/12 / 2.5GHz / 6xxChipset / BX8071512400F

Review: 今のところサクサクと動いています。 価格が安いので十分かなと思います。
Review: Windows 10 からのアップデートに合わせて購入しました。普段のネット閲覧や事務作業はもちろん、子供が動画視聴や「原神」をプレイする際も快適に動作しています。 構成はグラフィックボードがRTX1050、メモリ16GBですが、この組み合わせでも十分スムーズです。発熱や動作音も気にならず、安定して動作してくれています。 価格と性能のバランスが良く、普段使いから軽めのゲームまで幅広く対応できるコストパフォーマンスの高いCPUだと思います。

## Features

- 【Newly designed desktop processor】Implements two types of CPU cores, Performance-core and Efficient-core, on the same silicon die By assigning low-load background tasks to the E-core and prioritizing high-load processes such as gaming for the P-core, this CPU incorporates a new mechanism to maximize the performance of CPU cores
- 【Average 19% performance improvement in Performance-core】 Thanks to enhancements such as improved branch prediction accuracy, increased instruction execution ports and instructions per clock, support for 16-bit floating-point operations frequently used in AI processing, and an increase in L2 cache to 1.25MB per core, the performance is on average 19% higher compared to the previous generation core at the same clock speed Supports Hyper-Threading and implements up to 8 cores and 16 threads
- 【Efficient-core focusing on multi-thread performance and watt performance】Despite being designed for low power consumption, compared to the 6th generation, it delivers over 40% higher performance at the same power consumption, or achieves the same performance with 40% lower power consumption Regarding multithreaded performance, it delivers over 80% higher performance at the same power consumption, and achieves the same performance with only 20% of the power consumption Implements up to 8 cores and 8 threads
- Optimized for the latest OS: Implements a feature where the OS assists in CPU core allocation (Intel Thread Director) By feeding back the information obtained from this thread director to the OS scheduler, you can appropriately switch between P-core and E-core

A: Hello, Marcos! Thanks for your question! Yes, this processor should come with a fan. The Intel® Desktop Processors that don't come with fan are those that have the letters K, KF, KS, XE, or X in their model number.

Thank you for choosing Intel!

**Q: Does this come with a cooler in box?**
A: Mine did NOT come with a cooler or original packaging. It came in a brown box, packed in bubble wrap

**Q: How many threads?**
A: Hi Gordon. The Intel® Core™ i5-12400F Processor comes with a total of  6 Cores and 12 total threads. Thank you for choosing Intel®

**Q: The info is not clear,is the i5 12400f or the i5 12600kf?**
A: This is a 12400F.  Don't listen to the other guy.  There is no 12400 "KF".  If you want an unlocked processor to overclock on your own, the cheapest is the 12600KF.

2025現在も未だに現役。ゲームの通常プレイやPCの使用に不都合無し。 今なら価格の下がったi5 14400Fあたりに乗り換えもありかな。
