INTEL Core i5 12400 12th Generation Processor ( 4.4 GHz / 6 Cores / 12 Threads )

The Intel Core i5-12400 is a 12th Generation Alder Lake desktop processor designed for the LGA1700 (FCLGA1700) socket platform. Built on Intel 7 process technology, it delivers a balanced combination of multi-threaded throughput and energy efficiency, making it a capable choice for everyday computing, content creation, office productivity, and casual gaming workloads. At its core, the i5-12400 features six Performance-cores (P-cores) with no Efficient-cores, supporting 12 threads via Intel Hyper-Threading Technology. The processor operates at a base clock of 2.50 GHz and reaches a maximum turbo frequency of 4.40 GHz via Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. A total of 18 MB of Intel Smart Cache (L3) and 7.5 MB of L2 cache help keep frequently accessed data close to the cores for responsive performance. The processor integrates Intel UHD Graphics 730 with 24 execution units, running from 300 MHz base up to 1.45 GHz dynamically. It supports up to four simultaneous displays via HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K@60Hz), DisplayPort 1.4a (up to 8K@60Hz), and eDP 1.4b, with DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, and OpenCL 2.1 compatibility. Intel Quick Sync Video accelerates hardware video encode/decode workloads. Memory support includes DDR5 at up to 4800 MT/s and DDR4 at up to 3200 MT/s across a dual-channel configuration, with a maximum capacity of 128 GB and peak bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. Connectivity is handled by PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 lanes (up to 20 lanes total) via DMI 4 with 8 lanes. The processor has a rated base power (TDP) of 65 W, with maximum turbo power reaching 117 W. Thermal junction maximum is 100°C. The retail box includes an Intel Laminar RM1 cooler. It carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty (product code BX8071512400).
