Is the title of people’s processor finally going to the Intel CPU? The first full test of the Core i5-12400 showed what the new product is capable of
Despite the fact that Intel has not yet presented Alder Lake processors younger than the Core i5-12600K, a full review of the Core i5-12400 has already appeared on the Web.
The Core i5-12400, along with the Core i5-12400F version, represents the youngest Core i5 in Intel’s new lineup, with only six large cores. It runs at frequencies up to 4.4 GHz, has 18MB of L3 cache, and will cost $ 192 or $ 167 for the GPU-disabled version of the Core i5-12400F. That is, it is a fairly affordable processor that claims to be a national one. And tests show that this title can easily be given to this particular Intel novelty.
As you can see, the Core i5-12400 is often faster than the Ryzen 5 5600X, and sometimes much faster. Although in some tasks it is noticeably inferior to its one-year-old competitor. With its predecessor, the Core i5-11400, the difference is often even greater. In addition, in some tasks, the Core i5-12400 does not lag behind the Core i9-11900K, and sometimes even manages to be faster. At the same time, we recall that the new Intel product is much cheaper than the same Ryzen 5 5600X.
As for games, here the new Intel product turns out to be insignificant, but faster than the Ryzen 5 5600X, slightly faster than the Core i7-11700K and already more noticeably faster than the Core i5-11400. In addition, the previous flagship, the Core i9-11900K, is only marginally faster.
True, if we are talking about absolute values, even in Full HD, in fact, the difference between the specified CPUs is completely unimportant, since hardly anyone will notice by eye the difference between 141 and 158 fps. As the resolution increases, of course, the difference becomes even smaller. Thus, we can state that the new six-core Intel CPU will still be the best in its segment for gamers, but with an important caveat that in fact, as always, the processor in a gaming PC does not play the most important role.
Also, do not forget that AMD should show the updated Ryzen 5000 line, so it’s too early to put an end to the confrontation.

The culprits behind the rise in price of the GeForce RTX 4090 outside of China have been found. Various sellers are stockpiling cards to sell to China
As you know, from the moment it became known that supplies of GeForce RTX 4090 video cards to China would be prohibited, adapters have risen sharply in price in China itself, but prices have also increased in the USA and Europe. Now those responsible have been found. At least partly.
There are reportedly unscrupulous sellers who do not sell their RTX 4090 in their countries, but stockpile them for resale to China. Of course, because of the double or more markups, you can make very good money on this. Of course, such actions lead to a shortage of adapters in a particular market, increased demand and, as a result, higher prices. At least this is what sellers in Vietnam do, but probably not only there.
Prices in the USA and Europe have recently risen to 2000 dollars/euro for the most affordable options, and are not going to go down yet.
Let us remind you that Chinese craftsmen began to convert the GeForce RTX 4090 into accelerators for AI, and now they have even created the RTX 3080 20GB and Radeon RX 580 16GB.

A pocket-sized video card that can also accommodate an SSD. OneXGPU is finally out on Indiegogo for $600
The OneXGPU external video card has finally become available for order. The company has entered Indiegogo, and anyone can now buy the device as part of a fundraising campaign.
The campaign price is $600. At retail, the device will cost $790, which is more expensive than a similar product from GPD. However, let us remind you that OneXGPU is not just an external video card with a large set of ports. There is a slot for an M.2 SSD, so all games can be stored directly on the video card.
Let us remind you that the OneXGPU is based on the mobile Radeon RX 7600M XT, which is identical in basic parameters to the desktop RX 7600. It is worth noting that in this case the TDP is 120 W. The dimensions of the device are 188 × 106 × 16 mm and weighs 789 g. You can also note a USB4 port, a pair of HDMI, a pair of DisplayPort, RJ45 and two USB 3.2. Active CO with an evaporation chamber is responsible for cooling. The Oculink port is used to connect to a PC or console, but USB4 can also be used.
The company promises deliveries in early 2024. The campaign, by the way, is already successful: with the requested $10,000, more than $110,000 has already been collected, and there is still a whole month left.
Chinese stores are flooded with gaming graphics cards that were never released for gaming. We are talking about GeForce RTX 3080 20GB and Radeon RX 580 16GB.
These accelerators were previously used for mining, but the boom in AI systems requiring large numbers of graphics cards has led to a shortage of gaming models in the consumer market. So the devices that were actively used in mining came into use.
Most of these accelerators had very simple cooling systems and did not have video connectors. Chinese craftsmen are fixing this: they install more powerful COs and solder video outputs on the card. According to MyDrivers, there are already many such models on the market.
