Intel Core i5-12400F

The used-market 1080p bargain. No iGPU — you must have a graphics card.

What it is used for

Six performance cores, no efficiency cores, no onboard graphics. A workhorse next to a GTX 1660 / RTX 3060 class GPU.

Good for

  • Cheap 1080p gaming PCs
  • Office PCs that already have a GPU

Not the pick for

  • Builds without a dedicated GPU
  • New platforms

How it scores today

Out of 100, relative to current PCs — not to the year it launched.
