Intel Core i5-12400 Desktop Processor 18M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz

I wasnt expecting much out of this CPU but it runs 3D CAD software better than my old i7-6700k and completely blows it out of the water with rendering and tool path generation. For the price its dang near perfect. Its about 20% slower at generating tool paths than an i5-12600k but way faster than the previous generation CPUs. Its definitely a jump forward from the i5-11400 and about equivalent of an i5-11600k or a 10th gen i7

pairs well with the 3070 ti no complaints

Works and is top rated for DEC 2022. See Toms Hardware dot com. (google it) buyers guide for PC part consumers

Aguanta fácil 4 años

Me vino el procesador sólo, no venia en caja ni tampoco traía su disipador, no me gustó ese motivo

Thanks to Allah for this Gift. I am Very Happy of this processor.The Processor is Working Perfectly.Thermal paste is already Applied at the bottom of the condenser.Thank you amazon and thank you Intel.

Perfectly working

great processor if you are on a budget for a gaming PC or just need an everyday computer for work or play. Pair this up with any mid-range GPU and you will have a great PC for the next 4-5yrs without regret.

You get more cores than an i3 based cpu. If you want to save a lot, you could go with a 12100f, but I think you get a lot of value with this cpu. You get the faster pcie lanes and more of them compared to the 10th and 11th gen cpus. And you can use a single fan low profile heatsink and fan with this and get around 75c temperatures during cpu stress tests. When the 13400 comes out though, this might not be worth it depending on the price it comes out with, but for now you get a great value and great performance.

Intel secretly locked vccsa so your ram cant work stably if you turn on xmp. They claim it can work with 3200mhz ram, however my machine crashed so many times. I just set 3000mhz and it cant work. 5600x should be better than this silicon garbage
