About this deal

Because this game only uses a single core heavily, the power configuration doesn't matter, allowing the 12400 to produce a score of 202 pts even when adhering to the 65-watt spec. That's the same score you'll receive from a Zen 3 processor and only 2.5% less than the 12600K. The i5-12400 performs much better in Far Cry 6, at least when compared to the 5600X as it was up to 10% faster, beating even the 5800X and 11700K.

For the first time the i5-12400 is able to overtake the 5600X in gaming. Seen in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and while the average frame rate is very similar, the Core i5 was 9% faster when comparing the 1% low data.OS: Windows 11* Windows 10* Windows Server 2022 family* Windows Server 2019 family* Windows 10 Family* Windows 8 family* Windows 7 family* Windows 11 Family*

Chapter title: "Gaming Benchmarks and Performance: I ntel Core i5-12400 vs AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and Ryzen 5 5600G" Now, before we jump into the benchmarks, lets go over the test system specs. We haven't done any DDR5 testing for this one as it seems like a waste of time right now, and also we know all we need to in terms of DDR4 vs DDR5 performance (our big featured covered 41 games) or refer to our Core i9-12900K review which tested both types of memory and corresponding motherboards. Intel classifications are for general, educational and planning purposes only and consist of Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) numbers. Any use made of Intel classifications are without recourse to Intel and shall not be construed as a representation or warranty regarding the proper ECCN or HTS. Your company as an importer and/or exporter is responsible for determining the correct classification of your transaction. Then when comparing the AMD and Intel CPUs in the gaming benchmarks, it's really going to come down to the games used, and how those games are tested. In our relatively small sample of games, the 5600X enjoyed big wins in Horizon Zero Dawn, Hitman 3, Rainbow Six Siege, Age of Empires 4, and a solid win in F1 2021, while the i5-12400 was stronger in Far Cry 6 and The Riftbreaker. The big improvement when compared to 11th-gen though is the power consumption. For the same level of performance, the Core i5-12400 reduced total system consumption by 28%... and that's total system power consumption, not just CPU power.Being someone who appreciates a clean and modern look in my builds, I appreciated the sleek design of the Corsair 700D Airflow, which features tempered glass on one side and a steel front panel grille. Intel Authorized Distributors sell Intel processors in clearly marked boxes from Intel. We refer to these processors as boxed processors. They typically carry a three-year warranty. I was very impressed with the cooling capability of the Enermax Liqmax III 360, which boasts an excellent 360-watt TDP (Thermal Design Power). With a max speed of 2000 RPM, the TOUGHAIR 510 provides optimal cooling performance when you need it most. Still, running at 5.2GHz the gaming difference between this and practically any other gaming CPU all but vanishes.

Mattzun said:For value gaming, the actual comparison is gaming performance with integrated graphics on the 5600G vs integrated graphics on the 12400.Now it's time for some gaming benchmarks and we'll start with F1 2021, using the second highest quality preset at 1080p and the Radeon 6900 XT.
