Before getting into performance, it looks like the Intel Core i5 -12400 CPU, being a 65W chip, has a much better thermal package design as it runs at 60C when all cores are loaded while consuming 78.5W which is much lower than the 250W+ power consumption and 100C+ temperatures on the flagship i9 chip.

Moving over to the benchmarks, the Intel Core i5-12400 scored 681 points in single-core and 4983 points in the multi-core test in CPU-z. Both the single-core and multi-core performance is faster vs AMD's Ryzen 5 5600X and the multi-core performance improves by 18% over its predecessor, the Core i5-11400. The same is seen in Cinebench R20 where the chip scores 4784 points in multi-core and 659 points in single-core benchmarks tests.

It should be noted that the Intel Core i5-11400 is priced at $182 US MSRP and if the Core i5-12400 falls in the sub-$200 US category too, then we have a highly competitive chip pitted against AMD's Ryzen 5 5600X. The similar priced Intel Core i5-12600KF / Core i5-12600K will offer performance on par or better than the Ryzen 7 5800X. The Core i5 and Ryzen 5 segments are crucial for both chip- makers as they cater to the mass consumer market and it looks like Intel is bringing some heated & much-needed competition this time around with its Core i5-12400 and Core i5-12600 Alder Lake CPUs.
