Intel’s Alder Lake i5-12400F offers six hyper-threaded performance cores at an MSRP of just $180 USD. This represents excellent value for consumers and, in particular, gamers. It has a boost frequency of 4.4 GHz, 18 MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 65W. The F-version of the CPU does not have integrated graphics, however this will be of little concern to gamers with discrete GPUs. Whilst Intel’s overclockable i5-12600K has four additional efficiency cores and offers around 12% more performance than the 12400F, it also costs around 50% more. The 12400F offers great value, but to achieve optimal performance the requisite B660 motherboard (which supports 3200+ RAM) is, at least for now, difficult to find at reasonable ($150 USD) prices. AMD’s top value hex-core Ryzen 5 5600X offers similar performance for 50% more money. Despite Intel’s price / performance lead, AMD’s prolific marketers (forums, youtube, reddit etc.) have historically outsold Intel whilst carrying a similar handicap.[Jan '22CPUPro]
i mean, it’s just fair these days. browsing the web with a less intensive browser like chromium works smooth. playing audio/video ain’t too bad. for youtube 720p video is as high as it can possibly get until bad lag. 1080p video quite laggy. paired with a mobility radeon 4250 256mb as integrated gpu, it gives about same performance as a 1st gen mobile i3/ 1st gen hd graphics (also known as gma hd) with an ssd it’s overall alright for basic tasks. to achieve what i got, go to amd vision settings, and set cpu clock speed to max (minimum and maximum) [Jun '22loik7]
