Core i512400 processor 18 MB Smart Cache Box

Nice

Es un CPU muy completo, me va bien con mi RTX 3080 de 10GB, perfecto para los juegos de alto rendimiento y emuladores, me encanta tras poco más de 6 meses de uso, no he tenido problemas con ningun juego o actividad, es perfecta combinación tambien con un SSD de PCIe 4 Gen, vuela la máquina. Tiene buena relación-calidad precio, además esta listo para actualización para uso de memorias DDR5 mientras esperas a que bajen de precio si puedes usar DDR4 con una motherboard compatible y más barata.

I grabbed the i5‑12400 for a budget‑to‑midrange build, and honestly? it punches way above what I expected. After my own benchmarks it was clear that it has very strong performance for the money. In many games, it delivers near‑top‑tier 1080p fps while costing far less than high‑end chips. Even for everyday tasks; casual browsing, editing videos, multitasking, or light content creation, etc. The responsiveness is impressive. It's packed with 6 cores and 12 threads and is more than enough for a casual and light power user, and it handles multitasking smoothly without feeling laggy. The temps are pretty low considering it's low TDP, but it can get hot if you don't have adequate cooling and regularly put it under heavy load. For gaming (with a decent GPU), performance is great. In some tests it even beats more expensive chips in games and CPU‑heavy workloads at stock settings. The best part is how balanced it is — good speed, modern architecture, relatively low power draw, and strong price‑to‑performance value. If you want a CPU that won’t hold back a gaming or daily‑use PC but don’t want to overspend, this one’s hard to beat. Bottom line: For the price, it’s one of the smartest buys out there. Whether you’re gaming, browsing, streaming, or doing light creation work — i5‑12400 is a rock‑solid all‑rounder.

Intel's last great generation, I used this for a year and then got the i7 12th gen. Both are amazing.

Good quality

Setting a budget mid-tier pc, this card was very appealing, and lives up to the challenge! Upgraded the GPU to an RX 7700 XT, worried this might be a bottleneck, but has managed to keep up well!
