New magic round at Intel: CPUs of January 2022 become CPUs in July 2025!

We had already told you about the LGA1700 processor Core 5 120F d’Intel. For example, Following a leak detected last month by @momomo_us. Similarly, Intel has just put the processor product sheet online as well as that of its twin with integrated GPU. Consequently, the Core 5 120. Consequently, The opportunity to have their complete. Meanwhile, definitive characteristics, as well as confirmation that there is really nothing special to expect from these two fairly coarse rebadsing, as Intel and AMD unfortunately made us too often …

The core 5 120. In addition, Core 5 120F product sheets start with a touch of humor since Intenl tells us that these are Raptor Lake processors. In new magic round intel: cpus addition, Well, that’s not to assume the truth that is pure Alder Lake in reality. Furthermore, We know that there are so-called “Raptor Lake” processors which actually have an Alder Lake architecture. such as the Core i5-13400 (F). There. at least, we were not on a simple rebadging and Intel certainly used architecture Alder Lake but by reviewing the numbers of hearts in particular before pretending to call this “Raptor Lake”. We can not really say the same with the Core 5. 120 (F) and therefore this mention of “Raptor Lake” is more ridiculous than anything else.

There are still. all the same, tiny differences all the same between the Core 5 120 (F) and the Core i5-12400 (F), also here is a table to summarize everything in detail:

The newcomers still offer a maximum frequency in Boost 100 MHz higher, an integrated GPU which could reach 50 MHz more with us all with us Intel A Turbo Max power (MTP) down 7 W. Do not turn around the pot: this will not change real use to processor services. even if it is always good to have tiny improvements we are not going to claim the opposite.

As we said last month. the main fear that we can have with Core 5,120 and 120F, it is that Intel and the resellers take the opportunity to take consumers for pigeons with CPUs who come out and give the impression of a novelty wind by adding more respect for the new new magic round intel: cpus name chosen by the brand since the arrival of Meteor Lake and which was not yet generalized. A CORE i5-12400 is worth around € 130 in this mid-2025. a 12400F € 110, without forgetting that these now old processors are the target of regular promotions and we have for example already seen the 12400F around € 90! Bets are open for assumptions on the core pricing policy 5,120 and 120F. Will they be offered at their fair value, which should not fly well? (Source: @momomo_us)
