The same and yet different. Intel Core i5-12400 duel (H0 vs. C0)

Performance tests

We have a shocking revelation! And now, seriously. Different Core i5-12400 processor steppings differ not only in S-Spec code, but also in behavior in practice. Some of the expectations were confirmed, some were not. More importantly, you can choose the more suitable of the two options. But the best part is that everyone can evaluate the “better” variant differently. The differences across these processors must be negligible? No way…

Performance tests

We didn’t get to test everything in turn according to the standard CPU test methodology, but we got the key stuff. We’ve gone through all the tests, alongside which we also monitor and chart power draw, temperatures and core frequencies. So three computational tests, the same number of gaming tests, but also off-load measurements.

In this chapter and in the following chapters, we leave the results without comment. Read through them, make your own picture, and finally, you can stop in the final chapter, where we will make a comment on the measured results.

  1. Conclusion:

    “More powerful one, and it can be so titled at gains usually up to 1 %, is the stepping C0, the one with the larger core (and S-Spec code SRL5Y).”

    This must be an typo “SRL5Y”

    MaGee

  2. Hi. I am little confused. Which one is better with temps? I have a 12400, s-spec SRL5Y. Is this the one with a larger or a shorter die? Thanks.

    1. The variant with S-Spec code SRL5Y (stepping H0, as it is also referred to in the charts) has a smaller, natively 6-core chip and its cooling is a bit worse compared to stepping C0 (SRL4V). But again, you get better power draw at lower load and at idle. 🙂

      1. Thanks for the answer. It is happening again with the 13400/F. It will use 2 different dies. A RPL one and an ADL one. Cheers.
