The Intel Core i5-12400F is a 12th Gen Alder Lake desktop processor launched in Q1 2022, featuring 6 performance cores and 12 threads without efficiency cores or integrated graphics. It delivers strong single-thread performance with a 2.5 GHz base clock boosting to 4.4 GHz, making it ideal for gaming and everyday tasks. With 18 MB Smart Cache and 65W TDP (up to 117W turbo), it offers excellent efficiency on LGA1700 motherboards.

This tray version comes without a cooler or retail box, requiring a discrete GPU and separate cooling solution. It supports dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 up to 128 GB (76.8 GB/s bandwidth) and PCIe 5.0 for modern GPUs/SSDs. Benchmarks show it competing with higher-end CPUs in games like Far Cry 6, scoring ~1721 in Cinebench R23 single-thread and 11546 multi-thread [3][8].
