Intel Alder Lake Unboxed – Core i5-12400F #Shorts

Is the Intel Core i5-12400F the ultimate budget gaming CPU to get? Available for around US$175 as of July 2022, ALKtech’s hot take is that it depends…on you guessed it, pricing, pricing and pricing.

An Alder Lake part, the 12400F’s direct competitor would be AMD’s Ryzen 5 5600, which in recent weeks, has seen prices as low as US$159 on select e-commerce platforms during special sales events. Ultimately, I’d go with whichever build nets you the lowest price – what a time it is to be building PCs, especially with GPU prices finally coming down to Earth!
