Intel Core i5 12400 can beat Core i9 11900K in benchmarks

400 series Intel always from Economic processors and the cheapest versions of Core i5 in each generation, which, as usual, by upgrading and progressing in each generation, have been able to perform better than their higher-end processors from the previous generation; But the 12th generation version has not only taken steps beyond the usual upgrades, but apparently has been able to perform better than all the processors of the previous generation, which is considered a kind of miracle for an economic processor in this category.

according to Wccftech According to the disclosed information and benchmarks, the Intel Core i5 12400 processor with a price of 180 dollars has been able to beat the flagship of the previous generation of Intel, i.e. Beat Core i9 11900K with much less energy consumption and about 3 times lower price; A processor that can become the “most affordable” gaming processor in 2022, which is considered a novel and very heavy title for a processor of this Intel series. Benchmarks indicate that the Core i5 12400 beats even AMD’s Ryzen 5 5600X from the rival team.

Core processor The i5 12400 is designed with 6 cores and 12 threads, all of which are Golden Cove or P-cores, from 18MB of L3 cache, a base clock speed of 3.0 GHz, and It uses a maximum clock speed of 4.6 and has a power of about 65 watts, which with these specifications can be on the same level as AMD Ryzen 5 5600X; But with the price of the basic model, it reaches 210 dollars and the model without graphics reaches 180 dollars.

However, the RAM used in the test of the two processors was not even close to each other, and the 1440p resolution cannot challenge the processors as well as the 1080p resolution, and the maximum difference is to show But we still cannot ignore these results and the performance of Core i5 12400; Because the difference in category, price, consumption and temperature of two processors leaves no room for discussion. Even with DDR4 RAM, Core i5 12400 will be worth a lot more than Core i9 11900K and other previous generation Intel processors, and the inconsistencies and flaws of the benchmarks are not an issue that can change this.
