To be released Core i5-12400F Offers Ryzen 5 5600X Performance for roughly 200 USD
Intel Core i5 12400F spotted in benchmarks, could offer Ryzen 5 5600X performance at that sub 200 USD marker. i5-12400F will be based on just six cores performance cores (and threads).
That means there are no energy cores. Single-core and multi-core clock rates of the processor are 4.4 and 3.4 GHz, respectively, at power levels 2 and 1 (PL2), according to the processor's specifications. In terms of power consumption, the chip has a TDP/PL1 of 65W and power consumption (PL2) of 117 W.
Comptoir Hardware posted some results and is seems the processor is able to outperform the Ryzen 5 5600X with gaming scores on a constant basis. These tests were carried out on Windows 11 with an undisclosed amount of DDR5 RAM and an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics processor.
The i5-12400F was spotted in Canada for 249 CAD (200 USD), and if accurate that makes this a really value processor considering the 279 USD price tag of the Ryzen 5 5600X. In January, the Intel Core i5-12400F processor is expected to be unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). See below the benchmark results, courtesy of Comptoir Hardware.

11400f already does at 180usd/eur,
12400f will at least match 5800x.

Sure, but we live in the here and now, and here and now AMD has absolutely nothing to offer PC gamers anymore. They're soundly beaten across the entire product line. By the time Zen4 launches, Intel will have Raptor Lake, so who knows how that will pan out.

I'm sorry - what? Zen4 is the DDR5 platform, it's not slated for Q1 2022, it's supposedly coming out in Q4 2022. Q1 2022 is for Zen3D, the V-cache refresh. Unless something has changed, and it went completely over my head?

Isnt about time that happen? Intel was beaten for a while now offering nothing but a rehashed 9900k for three generations.

If this puppie was unlocked then it would be a killer budget CPU for gaming.
