When it comes to i5-10400F, it is necessary to mention its predecessor i5-9400F. The biggest feature is that the F suffix does not have a nuclear display, but the price is more cost-effective. So not having this core display is a big advantage for players, because since most users have chosen the Core i5 series, they usually use it with a discrete graphics card, so the core display is no longer just needed.
The price is lower, but the experience is almost the same. This is what players love to hear, and it can also be said that Intel gave the players the benefits.
This year’s tenth-generation product i5-10400F has almost the same price as the previous generation, but compared to the i5-9400F’s six-core and six-thread specifications, this year’s i5-10400F has been upgraded to a six-core and twelve-thread, i5-10400F, inherited The F suffix model is cost-effective, and the initial price is only 1399 yuan, which was an i7-level specification in the past, so fragrant.
●i5-10400F specifications: hyper-threading technology upgrade
In terms of frequency, the base frequency of i5-10400F is 2.9GHz, and the maximum core frequency can reach 4.3GHz. Compared with last year's i5-9400F, the core frequency has increased by 0.2GHz, TDP is only 65W, and the addition of hyperthreading brings a comprehensive 30%. Performance improvement.
With 6 cores and 12 threads, the turbo frequency of up to 4.3GHz is very versatile, and it is very competent for both game and video creation. As a non-overclocked CPU in the high-end market, the 65W TDP does not require so much power supply for the motherboard. Combining with the B460 series motherboard can be said to be a match made in heaven.
i5-10400F with B460 motherboard
In last year's whole machine market, i5-9400F was everywhere. Even the branded commercial machines smelled of large purchases because of its cost-effectiveness, and one after another they equipped their own consoles with i5-9400F.
The i5-10600K processor is designed with 6 cores and 12 threads, 12MB three-level cache, basic frequency 4.1GHz, highest core frequency 4.8GHz, and full core frequency also 4.5GHz. In addition, unlike previous i5 processors, the TDP of i5-10600K is as high as 125W. Such a high TDP can easily achieve a full-core 4.5GHz frequency even on a B460 motherboard under high load.
In terms of specifications, the i5-10600K is similar to the i7-8086K, both with 6 cores, 12 threads, and 12MB of L3 cache. The only advantage of i7-8086K is the highest core frequency of 5.0GHz. In other aspects, such as all-core frequency, base frequency, and TDP, i5-10600K is in a leading position.
Another difference is that i7-8086K uses silicone grease to conduct heat, while i5-10600K uses brazing to conduct heat, which has this absolute advantage in temperature control.
Compared with i5-10600K and i5-9600K, they are the gap between i7 and i5 in the past.
