Pretty good laptop CPU. Runs less hotter than the Zen2 5500U, performs a little bit better. I believe there was a huge difference made in the iGPU though, you could run CS:GO on it at like 200 fps (the game IS cpu-bound but this is saying something) with few stutters IF the laptop/AIO that it is in has dual channel RAM @3000+ mHz. This CPU is getting a little bit dated though considering the launches of Intel's Alder Lake and some 11th gen laptop CPUs which tend to hunger less for good memory and have a nearly as capable iGPU. Ignoring Intel for now, it is a good CPU for going on the web and playing some light games - or games that have a GTX 1050 in their minimum requirements. You could even do some rendering with its core count and cache if your laptop doesn't go up to 92C, unfortunately that is a gaurantee on today's laptops. [Apr '22 Waaaaaal]

Intel's i5 12500 is a weird processor. It is around $40 more expensive than the i5 12400(F) for slightly higher clocks and a better iGPU that most gamers will not care about - which is the thing Alder Lake focuses most on from what we've seen. It is not good value. This does not mean it is a bad CPU, it is still very capable of gaming and could be more capable in workstation and desktop use thanks to the improved iGPU. I do not believe it deserves a $40 tax for those situations though. [Apr '22 Waaaaaal]
