12th Gen Core i5-12400F

Measured performance for 12th Gen Core i5-12400F across 1 verified WhatFPS runs. Every number is measured in our benchmark suite — not estimated, not self-reported. CPU score (the processor's own performance): 8,030 on average over the best run per rig, best run 8,030 — #37 of 69 measured processors. The best rig we measured it in scored 5,740 GAMING (that number reflects the whole PC, not just 12th Gen Core i5-12400F). Most often paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060.

What the numbers mean

The GAMING score is a geometric mean of GPU (63 %), CPU (30 %), RAM (5 %) and drive (2 %) — a weak part cannot hide behind a strong one. The CPU score is the hardware's own performance and what we rank on. Every run is HMAC-signed in the app and scored on the server. The full methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
