12th gen intel CPUs are the best release from intel after their 9th gen.

In 2025, the 8400F is a good choice if you want to switch from an older system to a current AM5 platform but have to be careful about the money.
The 8400F also beats a Ryzen 7 5700x in most cases and is not that much slower than a 5700X3D.
In Germany the 8400F is available for €110

I feel very happy for having a 12400f and a 3070ti

[itsmagnator]

The 12400f surprised me, never knew an intel would be cheaper and better.

[adamfreeman]

The R5 8400f is a swindle comprising the deceptive name and the exaggerated price.

[joaov_machado]

It's impressive how bad priced these 8400f/8700f are

[lightyagami]

i have the 12400f with 4070 and i play at 1080p.. everything's perfect. smooth, fast, no lags and very nice graphics..

[tieuvienson]

124f 95$ and 8400f 190$ in my country, 124f is awesome!

[PanchoGDMKWii]

The ryzen 8000 series that doesnt have a 700m igpu are a entire joke, more expensive while performing worse than the cheaper 7000 series ryzen

[shannonbrooks]

This is going for the price of the 12600kf and 13400f .

[wdwkwfl]

Yeah the 12400f is decent for its price. Upgraded from from 4770k, adding a good 100fps to most my games 😅

[lordtopgg]

In my country, these processors have the same price of ~$105

[sibilakshman]

AMD should try harder, this is a humiliating loss, losing to cheaper and older component.

[EveryFailure]

Не смотря на то, что 12400F выглядит предпочтительнее, судя по тестам, я все же не очень понимаю такое сравнение. Если суть в том, чтобы взять максимально близкие по характеристикам то нужно вместо 12400F нужно было брать 12600 (частота в бусте выше на 10%). А если суть, взять примерно равные по цене, тогда нужно брать 12600K/KF.

P.S. Автор, когда делаешь сравнение, хотя бы пиши принцип, которым ты руководствуешься.

[marcinbrzozowiec]

Nowadays 8400F is around 10% cheaper than 12400F, motherboards cost roughly the same. If you don't have a decent DDR4 kit from previous build ( 12400F can work with DDR4 and DDR5 motherboards ), than AM5 is the way to go.

[mranderson]

Intel 12th gen must be the best cpus for the last decade.

[learnslanguish]

Ryzen 5 7500f better than i5 12400f and nearly the same price

[ONLY_BHARATVAASI]

So you are paying 50% more price than i5 12400f for 8400f for less performance than him

[SadnanShahriar-ddsz]

Ryzen 8000 series are like intel 14th gens
