The Core i5-12400F also includes support for up to PCI Express 5.0 and dual-channel DDR5 memory at 4800 MHz to help run and multitask a variety of demanding applications.

The Core i5-12400F does not include integrated graphics, meaning that users will need to purchase a separate dedicated graphics card. An Intel Laminar RM1 thermal solution is included. The processor is compatible with Intel LGA 1700 socket motherboards and is backed by a 3-year warranty.

PCIe 4.0 & 5.0
This processor supports up to four PCIe 4.0 and sixteen PCIe 5.0 lanes, delivering 20 lanes in total for exceptional data throughput with compatible devices.
Intel Deep Learning Boost
Accelerates AI inference to improve performance for deep learning workloads.
Gaussian & Neural Accelerator 3.0
Gaussian and Neural Accelerator 3.0 (GNA) technology helps with noise suppression while enhancing background blurring during video chats.
