Questions about Intel Core i5-12400F

From what we have found, this product is the Intel Core i5-12400F.

The Intel Core i5-12400F with the manufacturer product ID CM8071504555318 is available as an OEM version. This version is typically sold without retail packaging and does not include the Intel boxed thermal solution, making it suitable for system builders and DIY enthusiasts who want to customize their setups. In contrast, the Box version of the same processor is sold in retail packaging and usually includes the Intel thermal solution, except for certain models with K, KF, KS, XE, or X suffixes. The OEM (also called tray) processors are sold in bulk to manufacturers and do not come with direct Intel warranty support; instead, warranty and support are provided by the system builder or reseller. Therefore, based on the product ID and typical distribution, this specific processor is the OEM version.

Both offers are identical, only our sources of supply are different. For availability reasons, we "tap" different suppliers. If the manufacturer numbers are different, we have to record two products. The CPU cooler is included in both offers.
