Comptoir Hardware, a French technology website, recently leaked information about a non-K series Intel CPU that offers six cores and six threads—the Intel Core i5-12400F. This is considered a mid-level CPU, offering a Base Frequency Power (PL1) of 65W that is not expected to launch until the beginning of next year. Base Frequency Power is the new term Intel created to replace TDP.

VideoCardz has followed up on this leak with information that was completed by tech company MSI. MSI has stated that the Intel i5-12400F uses a "new smaller die with only 6 Golden Cove/Performance cores present and no Gracemont/Atom/Efficient cores at all." They have provided readers with "CPU-Z, Cinebench, overall gaming, and power consumption figures," but also state to check out Comptoir Hardware for their full review of the CPU.
