Intel Core i5-12400 Processor

6C/12T · 4.4 GHz · 65 W

The Intel Core i5-12400 Processor is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor from Intel's 12th Generation Core (Alder Lake) family, launched in the first quarter of 2022. Unlike higher-end Alder Lake SKUs it uses Performance-cores exclusively, running at a 2.50 GHz base clock with Turbo Boost up to 4.40 GHz, backed by 18 MB of Intel Smart Cache. It integrates Intel UHD Graphics 730 clocked up to 1.45 GHz and supports dual-channel DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200 memory up to 128 GB. A locked multiplier keeps it a mainstream, non-overclockable part, positioned above the graphics-less i5-12400F and above the lower-power 35 W i5-12400T.
