13-06-2022
Today we are testing potentially the most popular 6-core 12-thread processor of the new Intel platform — Core i5-12400. Let’s compare it with three opponents: the predecessor Intel Core i5-11400, the more powerful fellow Core i5-12600k and the competitor from the red camp — AMD Ryzen 5 5600X. Let’s see who wins and by how much?
The Intel Core i5-12400 processor was provided by the Brain store chain and the ITbox marketplace. They have hardware for every taste, color and PC class. Actually, there are ready-made computers there too — come in, look, maybe you will find something for yourself and support our partners and us.
As already noted, the Intel Core i5-12400 has 6 cores running in 12 threads. They are all high performing. Energy-efficient cores, like the older solutions of the Alder Lake-S line, this processor does not have.
The cores operate at a frequency of 2.5 to 4.4 GHz with a maximum power consumption of up to 117 watts. Intel provided it with only 18 MB of L3 cache.
We have a predecessor Intel Core i5-11400 . Compared to the new product, it has the following weaknesses:
- older 14nm process technology, versus 10nm SuperFin in the 12th line;
- less L3 cache — 12MB vs 18MB;
- and guaranteed support for DDR4-3200 RAM, when you can use DDR5 from 4800 MHz with the older one.
And so this is the same 6-core 12-thread processor with similar frequencies, the same integrated Intel UHD Graphics 730 and a maximum TDP of 65 watts. It costs about $20-30 less than the Core i5-12400, according to Hotline.
The Intel Core i5-12600K is almost twice as expensive as the Core i5-11400 in some stores. It was added only to show who the father is here. This processor already has 10 cores: 6 productive ones work in 12 threads at a maximum speed of up to 4.
9 GHz without overclocking. 4 more threads give 4 energy efficient cores at frequencies of 2.8-3.6 GHz. Thus, we have a 10-core processor is a 16-thread. Again, Intel didn’t shell out too much for the L3 cache, 2 MB more than the Core i5-12400, but the TDP is please at 125W and the power consumption limit is 150W.
And finally, a competitor from AMD — Ryzen 55600X . Depending on the store, it costs about the same as the hero of our video. The red one offers the same 6 cores in 12 threads as the blue ones at 3.7 to 4.6 GHz, a whopping 32 MB of L3 cache and a fair 7nm process technology. Thermal package at the base level for the Core i5-12400 65 watts.
Here is a list of opponents. Now let’s see how they settled in the test benches.
Intel 12th generation processors were launched on the ASUS PRIME Z690-P D4 motherboard, because DDR5 is unlikely to be used with younger solutions. It has heatsinks on all critical nodes, 14+1-phase power, and a PCIe 5.
0 slot.
The Intel Core i5-11400 worked on the ASUS ROG Strix Z590 Gaming Wi-Fi board. She fed him with 16 phases.
The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) provided the same 16-phase «All Inclusive» for the Socket AM4 processor — Ryzen 5 5600X.
The top video card Palit GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GameRock OC helped us not to run into the graphics subsystem.
All processors were cooled by dropsy DeepCool GAMMAXX L360 A-RGB . In its active part, there are three 120 mm fans with addressable RGB lighting, the noise from which does not exceed 30 dB.
The RAM is composed of two 16 GB modules G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 . Chips manufactured by Samsung worked with timings of 16-16-16-36.
All numerous games, benchmarks and the system itself were installed on fast gaming M.2 NVMe SSDs of the Seagate FireCuda 530 line — 1 TB and 2 TB.
The kilowatt Seasonic PRIME GX-1000 provided ideal power for all components. It has a very high efficiency and a quiet cooling system.
Collected everything in the case DeepCool CG560 . It easily housed both the 3-fan water cooler and the 3080 Ti while still providing efficient cooling with the 4-pack of fans.

Well, let’s get down to business. We start warming up in synthetics with 3DMark Time Spy , where we pay the main attention to the dark bars with the CPU Score. The Intel Core i5-12400 overtook the Core i5-11400 and Ryzen 5 5600X by 8% and lost to the older Core i5-12600K by as much as 42%.
In working with archives 7-ZIP Ryzen won back. He is 20-40% ahead of the main character of the video. The Core i5-12600K breaks away from the Core i5-12400 in about the same way — by 20% -49%. And last year’s Core i5-11400 loses to its counterpart only in the speed of packing archives — by 10%.
The speed of reading and writing to memory in AIDA64 Intel processors are approximately equal. But if you calculate the percentages, then the worst of the blue ones is the Core i5-12400. The predecessor bypassed it by 2-5%, and the older 10-nuclear — by 3.5% -7%. But compared to the Ryzen Core i5-12400, it still looks good — it writes to RAM 44% faster.
The memory access latency graph is also the worst for the Core i5-12400 — it is 31% behind the leader, which is the predecessor of the 11th generation.
In Cinebench R23 , the most interesting thing is the confrontation between the novelty and its colleagues in the shop. The Core i5-12400 outperformed the Core i5-11400 by 16% in single thread and 23% in multithread. The gap from the Ryzen 5 5600X is a little more modest — 7 and 9%, respectively.
Despite the fact that the benchmark is CPU-Z hints at something with a digital combination for the Core i5-12400, while everything is going well with him. It beat its predecessor by 18% in single thread and 16% when using all cores and threads. As for overtaking Ryzen, the Core i5-12400 was only able to do it in single-core mode — by 5%.
And we complete the synthetic test PCMark 10 . There are no surprises here. According to the overall indicator, the Core i5-11400 is in last place, 7% behind the hero of the video.
In turn, Ryzen outperforms the Core i5-12400 by 2%, while the Core i5-12600K outperforms it by 8%.
Well, let’s sum up the numbers in synthetics. It turns out that the new Core i5-12400 is on average 8% better than its predecessor Core i5-11400. In turn, the older Core i5-12600K bypasses the hero of the video by only 16% on average. And the Ryzen 5 5600X was able to match the Core i5-12400 — they have parity. Interesting conclusions are already emerging, but first we complete the picture with gaming benchmarks.
Assassin`s Creed Valhalla with «Ultra» settings and 50% render scale I liked Core i5-12400 less for some reason. Its frame rate is 7-13% worse even than last year’s Core i5-11400. This places the new processor in last place. Well, the Ryzen 5 5600X, one might say, trampled on the new product even harder. Its lead over the Core i5-12400 is 8% in average fps and 31% in drawdown. By the way, for that matter, Ryzen looks very good against the background of the so-called 10-core, given its real price.
The first run of Cyberpunk 2077 was done with Ultra graphics, ray tracing and DLSS turned off in Ultra performance mode. Such a cocktail of settings allowed the Core i5-12400 to slightly rehabilitate itself, at least against the background of its predecessor. The indicators of 0.1% Low can be said to be close for the entire trio of lockers. Ahead is the Core i5-12600K with drawdowns 20% better than the Core i5-12400.
The second run of Cyberpunk 2077 was at the same resolution and settings, only with ray tracing turned on «Ultra». More realistic lighting, shadows, and other light source antics have evened out all the processors. Unless the Core i5-12600K and Ryzen are 10-13% better than rare events and average fps than junior Intel processors.
Extreme settings selected in Forza Horizon 5 when scaling the render in Performance mode. The leader represented by Intel Core i5-12600K bypasses the hero of the video by 9-18%.
Other processors are roughly on par with the Core i5-12400, including its predecessor from the previous generation.
And finally, very demanding on the processor Total War Saga: Troy with Ultra graphics and 50% rendering. Here, the Core i5-12400 has a stellar time. Finally, he significantly bypassed the 11th generation. By 17% for average fps and 35% for very rare events. In turn, other processors overtook the hero of the video. The Ryzen 5 5600X is just a few points away, while the Core i5-12600K is a whopping 38-48%.
Conclusions
So, it’s time for conclusions. On average, the Intel Core i5-12400 is 8% better than the Core i5-11400 in synthetics and 1-6% better in games. Although, recall, a significant contribution was made by Total War. If we forget this game for a while, then the Core i5-12400 looks even worse than its predecessor by 1-2%.
So when choosing between them, everything depends on the price and the prospects for a further upgrade.
So, on average, the Core i5-12400 is $30-35 more expensive than its predecessor, and if the priority is to assemble a new platform with fast memory and on a board with a top chipset, the overpayment for the processor looks justified. If on the contrary — the goal is to save money, then with the Core i5-11400 you will get not much less.
The so-called 10-core Intel Core i5-12600K is actually overpriced right now. It is 50% more expensive than the Core i5-12400, and only gives 16% in synth and 16-22% in games. The only scenario where he could fully pay for himself is the Total War benchmark. With it, we have a 38-48% better ostentatious drop in frames … And it’s up to you to decide whether it’s worth overpaying for the presence of energy-efficient cores by one and a half times.
As for the Ryzen 5 5600X, the Core i5-12400 looks great against it. In synthetics, they have parity, and in games — AMD by 8-9% better. At the same time, Ryzen costs an average of 15% more, namely $30-35.
