Presumably, everyone has seen the 12th generation 900K and 700K videos before, how do you think about the 12th generation? But I think 12900K is strong, in today's era of CPU performance excess, everyone must be more concerned about the performance of the mainstream model in the middle end, today we will take a look at the latest 12th generation of Inter I5 12400F.
First look at the parameters, this time The Intel I5 12400F and other 12 generations are the same as the Intel 7 10nm super fin process manufacturing, the difference is that the 12400F does not use a hybrid architecture size core design, but a full-performance core, which is commonly known as a large core, the specification is 6 cores and 12 threads, the full core turbo frequency is 4.0GHZ, the single core is 4.4Ghz, and the TDP is 65W.

From the parameter point of view, in addition to the main frequency high point, what is the difference between the architecture and interface and the 11400F? In fact, from the CPU-Z cache, we can see that the 12400F L3 is 18M although it is not as large as the 32M of the 5600X, but compared to the 12M of the 11400, it is still 6M, which means that the game performance of the 12400F will definitely be stronger than the performance of the 11400F, so let's directly look at the actual measurement of the running score on the machine.
I prepared a total of three projects, CPU-Z to test CPU performance, CinebenchR23 to test CPU rendering capabilities, 3D MARK and TIME SPY to test CPU game performance, and 11400F, 11700K, and 5600X to accompany the CPU.
In the CPU-Z test, the single core score of 12400F is 684 multi-core is 5000, such a single report card even exceeds 11700k, compared with 11400F CPU-Z The performance card is 23% higher than multi-core, 15%, compared with the strongest mainstream game U 5600X, 12400F single core performance exceeds 9%, multi-core exceeds 8.1%.
Let's take a look at CinebenchR23, 12400F's report card core is 1686 points, multi-core is 12311 points, compared to the 3 CPUs that accompany the run, the single core actually won the previous generation I7 11700K, but the full core performance is still 2600 points worse, compared to AMD 5600X and 11400F, or more than enough.
The last 3DMARK DX12 TIME SPY running score, 12400F CPU score of 9066, compared to 11700K do not think, certainly can not beat the core threads are separated, but compared with the same 6 cores 12 lines of 11400F and 5600X, 12400F results have maintained a good lead.
Of course, the running score can only explain part of the problem, in fact, it still depends on the performance in the game. Game test I still prepared three games, the CPU single-core performance depends on the high online game CS GO, very hungry configuration of the stand-alone Tomb Raider Shadow, and optimized as long as the computer is balanced can have a good score of the Wilderness Dart 2.
Start with CS GO, with the highest resolution of 1080P
Because CS GO is a game with single-core performance, the game frame rate is exactly the same as the previous running score data, 12400F and 5600X frames are higher than 11700k, higher than 11400F, of which 12400F frames are also higher than 5600X 23 frames, which seems to be 5600X CS GO God U The name is going to change I.
Looking at the Tomb Raider Shadow, the resolution is still 1080P light chasing open for high quality, and the four CPUs with the same 3070 frame number are shown in the figure.
Tomb Raider this game is more eat the overall configuration can see 8 cores 16 threads of 11700k is the highest frame number of 184, has been the full lead of the 12400F to 4 frames lost to 5600X, 11400F still fell behind the car.
Finally, there's the Red Dead Redemption
The 11400F finally regained its dignity at darts, but the big darts didn't have high CPU requirements, so we can see that the maximum frame difference between the four U models here is only 5 frames.
OK, so after the above running points plus the actual measurement of the game, the performance of 12400F, do you feel satisfied?
Of course, performance certainly can not determine everything, because I have always believed that there is no garbage product only the price of garbage, performance improvement and more expensive, that is still garbage, although I tested this 12400F when the official did not announce the accurate price of this U but according to the price of 12600K 2199, I guess the approximate price of this 12400F may be around 1500, of course, I have heard gossip rumors that it is 1399, if it is really this price, I think the name of the 56X mainstream game God U may not be guaranteed. So this time Intel 12th generation this punch is indeed quite fierce, then AMD this side will hurry up with the next wave of release of its own 5NM zen4 or first to ZEN3's 5000 series to reduce a price? So let's wait and see.
