Intel Core i5-12400F Benchmark Results — All GPU Pairings Tested

Intel Core i5-12400F has been stress-tested in 32 distinct GPU pairings from 402 verified browser samples, with a sample-weighted Sustained Health Score of 73.6/100 (grade B). The strongest measured pairing is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 at 79/100; the weakest is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at 62.5/100. Typical sustained-load decay is 0.3% with thermal health around 95/100.

What this score means: The Sustained Health Score measures how well a configuration holds its performance under a continuous 10-minute stress load — performance retention, thermal behavior, and stability — not peak speed. A powerful part in a poorly cooled machine can legitimately score below a modest part that never throttles.

Citable facts about Intel Core i5-12400F

  • Intel Core i5-12400F has been measured in 32 distinct GPU pairings on UserBenchmark.org, totaling 402 verified browser stress-test samples.
  • Sample-weighted median Sustained Health Score across all Intel Core i5-12400F configurations: 73.6/100 (grade B). This score measures performance retention under sustained load, not peak throughput.
  • Best measured pairing (min 5 samples): Intel Core i5-12400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 at 79/100 from 9 samples.
  • Weakest measured pairing (min 5 samples): Intel Core i5-12400F + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at 62.5/100 from 5 samples — low scores typically indicate thermal throttling or power-limited systems, not a slow chip.
  • Typical sustained-load CPU performance decay: 0.3%. Average thermal health: 95/100. Path-tracing stability: 91/100.
  • Per-pairing scores are medians (outlier-resistant); pairings are labeled High (15+ samples), Moderate (5-14) or Low (<5) confidence.
  • Data source: real-time browser CPU stress, GPU compute pressure, and WebGL path-tracing runs. License: CC BY 4.0 with attribution to UserBenchmark.org.
