Whats the i5 beneficial upgrade from 12400F?

[SilentGameTestR]

Haven't had chance to use it much, but i regret not getting one with integrated graphics, so I might replace it soon or atleast put it away as a spare.

I have a b760m motherboard which does support 12th, 13th & 14th gen, but for now ill probably stick to 12th gen for current finances unless any deals on newer comes around.

I got the 12400f because it was cheap. However I dont know what the good i5 variants are as I usually have Ryzen setups.

Gaming there's a 20% uplift in performance game dependent moving to a 14600k on average but if you're doing multi threaded workloads then it's huge with the extra e cores.

Save your money

With the kind of graphics cards you're thinking of using there's really no point upgrading and the 13th-14th gen CPUs have a big question mark over them for the long-term anyway.

Thanks for reply.

This upgrade is more about a processor with graphics. I couldnt make proper use of 5700x with workloads, so the only other focus would be increased Gaming performance. At the same time it's got have good value/performance to be worth it.

I did wonder if there were still issues with the 13th & 14th gen which is why I opted for a motherboard that supports all 3 gens. As for the graphics cards in my other post, this processor will be a long term keep and so at some point I will get a keeper graphics card to go along with it.

I plan to separate my testing system(s) from my own personal system when I have space.

Sell up and use the opportunity to move to an AMD platform.

Thanks, but not an option.

I purposely went for the B760M to get my hands on a 12th-14th intel as i am always building Ryzen systems. I had a 5700x for a few months then sold it and went to a 3600(had one awhile back and liked it) which better suited my needs.

Also this is my own personal computer, so i wanted a change. i plan on building both intel and Ryzen systems of various generations for a particular purpose thats separate to this system.

Is it actually better to be on AMD? My PC's are idle a lot of the time and I hear AMD CPU's use a lot more juice idle.

What graphics card do you currently have?

I'm a bit unclear as to what your usage case is, other than gaming? what resolution?

There's no such thing as a 'long term keep' really, it's more a question of buying the most cost effective solution for your budget at any given time, balanced against your required/expected performance.

Long term keep as in the sense i wont be changing in a few months like i usually do. I started to put this computer together a few months ago and barely used it, but because of what i plan on doing, i wont need to change my setup when ive had enough or whatever.

Gaming only as while i record and edit videos with Filmora, i dont need to restrict the editing to the same computer. As for my resolution, i am using a 1080p 144hz portable or my newly acquired 27" AOC 200hz 1080p which i have found out yesterday it seems to be able to upscale 4k 60hz.

My current gpu is a gtx 980 4gb which i got the other day. I am currently pairing various gpus to my i5 until i am able to complete other individual builds.

Basically for a hobby, i build a system or keep upgrading my own system to test various graphic cards in certain games and record and edit them. This time round i will be building individual systems for this purpose, however i got the 12400F on a sale price at the time i got the motherboard, but having had initial issues reinstalling windows 11 recently and using gtx 750ti from an old build, it seemed to have reset meaning the 750 worked at first, but not again(its a working card) and so, i wish i had gotten a processor with graphics to finish setting up the computer rather than waiting till i got the 980 or other.

For 1080p gaming I'd keep that i5 and bang a better GPU in it in that case, that gpu is really old and basically rubbish these days.

FWIW, I have been thinking about upgrading my I5-12400 for a while. And I still may do, if any great deals come along.

But paired with my 4070 Super, its been fine. Its certainly been great value, considering it was less that £100 when I bought it.
My only slight regret when I built the rig, was not using DDR5. In my defense, DDR4 was so cheap at the time.

I know its old, thats the whole point of getting it.

If im best just sticking with this i5, then i will do just that and hopefully 13th/14th will become better further down the line.
