Intel i5-12400 vs. i7-11700K for Video Editing?

I'm looking to buy a new CPU for video editing purposes, and I'm considering between the Intel Core i5-12400 and i7-11700K. Can anyone provide some insights on which one would be more suitable for this task?

Both the i5-12400 and i7-11700K are decent choices for video editing, but the i7-11700K generally offers better performance due to its higher core count and clock speeds. However, it really depends on your budget and personal preferences.

True. I've been using an i5-12400 for a while now, and it works just fine for my video editing needs. It might not be as powerful as the i7-11700K, but it gets the job done without breaking the bank.

It's also important to consider other factors like DDR support and PCIe version. The i5-12400 supports DDR5 with a max stock speed of 4800 MHz and PCIe 5.0, while the i7-11700K supports DDR4 with a max stock speed of 3200 MHz and PCIe 4.0.

@tater2428 Thanks for the input! I'll have to weigh my options and see which one fits my budget and needs better. @@ZekromsMalice, thanks for sharing that article! I'll definitely read it before making a decision.

That's a great point, @lightyear44. DDR support and PCIe version can make a big difference in performance, especially when working with large video files.

@DarthStrom You're welcome! Make sure to also consider the L3 cache size as it affects performance too. The i5-12400 has 18 MB while the i7-11700K has 16 MB.

Exactly, @lightyear44. And don't forget about the single-core turbo frequency and P-Core turbo frequency which can also impact overall performance.

@ZekromsMalice Thanks for all the information! I'll definitely take these factors into account when making my decision. Hopefully, I'll find a CPU that suits my needs well.
