I usually cut-off at the 12400F since it's such a deal. The 12600K goes in a customer build occasionally, since they're a bit less than the 14400F, but at either price a 5700X3D can be had for the time being.

I bought the 14400f 4 weeks ago for 161€ and the 12600kf was more expensive at 176€. But I would recommend the 14400f to anyone who doesn't overclock. Almost the same performance with half the power consumption

You have the SRN47/B0 stepping version, which is a legit Raptor Lake processor. The SRN3R/C0 stepping version is an Alder Lake version. The clocks, frequencies, and power limits are the same, but the B0 stepping version has Raptor Lake's Memory Controller, and it will work with faster DDR5 RAM.

Those LGA1700 i5s reach a sweet spot with efficiency, they run on a much more modern platform than AM4 and are cheaper to build than AM5, so they sure have their own spot in the market.

On veilguard I run it all on ultra but the 2 settings on 'fade touched' which are above ultra (textures and level of detail) I can't run because it maxes out my Vram.

The 12400 should age well with its current price tbh :D

[@arcticowl1091]

if you're testing CPU's, why run black ops 6 at max detail where the GPU is clearly being the bottleneck? did low settings not change anything?

[@ImnaZeppeli]

12400f is 115 usd here while the 14400f is 175usd which one is the better deal?(Im on a budget yes, but i would still like to upgrade in the future)

[@leonhardscholtyssek]

I think the 14th gen I5 is not worth it considering the minimal Performace uplift in relation to the not so insignificant higher power draw

[@2kmonsty815]

why dont you play cs2 with 1080p/1440p lowest esports settings with uncapped fps?

[@Styphoryte]

I would love a comparison with specific issue like say in Dead Space Remake there are traversal stutters in any hardware and I'd like to see if there's a difference in the exact same spots where you can find a traversal stutters to see if the 14400 improves the stutter at all or not. Especially playing in 4k, this game has pretty awful traversal stutters which is unfortunate for me cuz I'd play in 1440p but that looks blurry on my 4k monitor lol. 😢 I think that's due to my monitor trying to down sample it and it becomes blurry which makes sense.

[@gabrielvieira6529]

Oh yeah, that is the processor that degrades itself! Very good buy, trust me!

[@Yerinjibbang]

im still rocking the r5 5600 looks pretty decent for the current gen maybe i might upgrade next one im still fine with 1440p gaming w/ 7800 xt ~

[@Yukeena]

idk why, but I've fallen in love with these lower end chips. Right now I have a 12400f system and a 13400f system and the power consumption is very low. 14400f is also very nice chip with low power consumption. I'd go with one of these chips over intels 15th gen chips any day. I love to see that you are giving these lower end chips so much love and screen time. Great video!

[@masterkamen371]

I dig these low end Intel chips, but they are in such a weird place on the market. More expensive than the Ryzen 5 5600, which is good enough not to ever give you a CPU bottleneck with a mid range GPU, and only slightly cheaper than the lower end X3D chips (which still top charts and are ahead of any Core i9 and whatever they call the latest one). Might build an Intel based server though. Some newer i5 or i3 and a bunch of DDR4 should go for pennies used. Edit: nvm, local sellers are on crack, I could build another 5600X system new for what the pricks ask for a bare motherboard and CPU.

[@Yukeena]

@@masterkamen371 yeah man. here too with these local sellers. I regularly see people trying to sell $300 pc's for like $1k+ or cheap graphics cards and other parts for more than they cost new on amazon. But you do bring up some good points, but I had a bad experience with am4 (specifically my 5700x) with WHEA errors with xmp enabled and stuttering. Was a huge headache and could never figure it out, so I jumped ship from am4 and went with doing my next builds with 12400f and 13400f. My next build with be an igpu build with the 8600g and getting the asrock x600 deskmini since I think $200 is great deal for itx case, mobo and psu, plus 8600g has great power efficiency like the 12400f and 13400f.

[@406Steven]

@@masterkamen371 If you plan on doing Plex on your server definitely go Intel, QuickSync is fantastic for transcodes. For gaming go with the better value in your market but in the US the 5700X3D or 7600 make very tempting value chips. I wish the 7500F were easier to get....

[@shephardburnout3]

12400f and 12600kf are still rocking in late 2024

[@onoffgeorg9828]

i put 12400 on gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4 .can i overclock it?

[@Yurie13]

ddr4 vs ddr5? 3200 that you already have vs cheap ddr5 you can get?

[@farazsiddiqui1312]

What h610m mobo you have?

[@gunturbayu6779]

I use 12400 with bclk oc able mobo and it run 5.2 ghz all core stable. I bet it outperformed even 14400f in games.

[@maximusdburritius5420]

I saw a video that says turning off all but one of the p cores improved performance.

[@hayseedfarmboy]

RandomgamingHD could you do a comparison with ryzen 5600

[@Rouxenator]

I went from a Ryzen 7 5700G to a i5-14500T and it's pretty good. the iGPU is aa downgrade but power consumption is down.

[@takataktak2185]

Do a review on i5 14500

[@iamthatguy6907]

Hey random i just got a new pc and I'm wondering where's best to sell my old pc ? Its a hp victus 15l Ryzen 5 5600g 32 gb ram 1 tb black m.2 1660 super 550w gold psu

[@pederb82]

Where are you located? Are you US?
