Internal Graphics
The graphics chip allows the processor to perform complex calculation and display tasks. The more memory and the higher the clock frequency, the better. Determine the winner, who has the better chip? Intel Core i5-12400F or Intel Core i7-8700K.
Hardware codec support
Technical information that will be of interest to specialists and does not affect the performance of the processor. It can be skipped in the comparison.
Memory & PCIe
The interfaces and standards of RAM that the processor supports. The more modern the standard and the larger the memory capacity, the better.
Memory & PCIe
Encryption
Data encryption standards supported by CPUs
Thermal Management
TDP is the maximum amount of heat generated by the processor. It is used when selecting a cooling system. The higher the TDP, the more heat the cooling system will have to dissipate.
Technical details
These are key parameters that will help you determine which CPU is better. Pay special attention to the release date, technological aspects of the manufacturing process (measured in nanometers), and the third-level cache (L3).
