Intel Core i5-12400F | 12th Gen | LGA1700 | 4.4GHz | 65W | BX8071512400F

Key Features 6 Cores / 12 Threads | Up to 4.4GHz Boost — Alder Lake hybrid architecture for strong gaming and everyday computing performance 65W Processor Base Power — Efficient TDP for standard cooling with a wide range of air and AIO coolers 18MB Intel Smart Cache — Large L3 cache reduces latency for gaming, streaming, and multitasking workloads No Integrated Graphics (F-Series) — Requires a discrete GPU — ideal for dedicated gaming and workstation builds DDR4 & DDR5 Memory Support — Flexible memory compatibility for both current and previous-gen platforms 20 PCIe Lanes — Full PCIe 4.0 connectivity for GPU and NVMe storage LGA1700 Socket — Compatible with Intel 600 series motherboards (H610, B660, H670, Z690) The Intel Core i5-12400F is a 12th Gen Alder Lake desktop processor built for gamers and builders who want strong multi-threaded performance at an accessible price. With 6 performance cores, 12 threads, and a boost clock of up to 4.4GHz, it handles demanding games, content creation, and everyday workloads efficiently at a 65W TDP — making it compatible with a wide range of standard coolers without requiring premium thermal solutions. As an F-series processor, the i5-12400F does not include integrated graphics — a discrete GPU is required. This makes it a natural fit for dedicated gaming builds where a GPU is already planned. Supporting both DDR4 and DDR5 memory alongside PCIe 4.0, it provides a future-capable platform foundation on Intel 600 series boards. Compatible with H610, B660, H670, and Z690 chipset motherboards. Ideal For Budget to Mid-Range Gaming Builds — Strong gaming performance at an efficient 65W TDP First-Time PC Builders — Straightforward platform with wide cooler and board compatibility Content Creation & Streaming — 6-core/12-thread performance for OBS, video editing, and productivity Upgrade from Older Intel Platforms — Step up to LGA1700 DDR4/DDR5 from LGA1151 or LGA1200 systems Dedicated GPU Builds — F-series pricing advantage for builders who don’t need integrated graphics Specifications Model — Intel Core i5-12400F MPN — BX8071512400F Generation — 12th Gen Intel Core (Alder Lake) Socket — LGA1700 Cores / Threads — 6 / 12 Base Clock — 2.5 GHz Boost Clock — Up to 4.4 GHz Cache — 18MB Intel Smart Cache TDP — 65W Memory — DDR4, DDR5 PCIe Lanes — 20 (PCIe 4.0) Integrated Graphics — None (discrete GPU required) Compatible Chipsets — Intel 600 series (H610, B660, H670, Z690)
