Intel Core i5 8400 Overview
The CPU industry is full of the greatest processors, making an excellent investment period right now. There are so many amazing processors on the market that you can hardly throw a stone despite reaching an amazing processor that does the function and more.
The 8th generation Core processor family is based on the recent silicone "Coffee Lake," which is the 4th organization to build on the 14-nanometer method.
Intel Core i5-8400 is a mid-range desktop microprocessor with a 64-bit Hexa-core mid-range output launched by Intel in 2017. This CPU, which is developed on the microarchitecture of Coffee Lake, is produced using the 14nm++ process improved by Intel's 3rd generation.
The i5-8400 works at 2.8 GHz, with a 65W TDP and a 4 GHz Turbo Boost. This chip fits up to 64 GiB, non-ECC dual-channel DDR4-2666 ram, and integrates Intel's UHD Graphics 630 IGP with a maximum frequency of 1.05 GHz, running at 350 MHz.
Features
We would generally fall head over heels in an Intel CPU generation for the latest K-series i5, but the Core i5 8400 proved out to be the best CPU that came out of Coffee Lake. This is also the only Intel processor that we can even presume to find in place of the AMD Ryzen mid-price rivalry. The key features include:
- Number of Cores: 6-core
- Compatible Processor Socket: LGA1151 Socket
- Clock Speed: 2.8 GHz
- Max Turbo Speed: 4 GHz
- Type: Intel Core i5 8400 (8th Gen)
- Cache Memory: 9 MB
- Processor: Qty1
- Number of Threads: 6 threads
- Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 630
- Base Frequency: 350 MHz
- Max Dynamic Frequency: 1.05 GHz
The Processor – The best Gaming CPU in 2017
The Intel Core i5-8400 is a non-hyper-threaded Hexa-core processor, with a 2.8GHz base clock speed, which can improve up to 4.0GHz. The lack of hyper-threading may sound terrible, but for daily use, most consumers will never need more than six threads, though. This makes the Core i5-8400 the strongest processor on the commercial market worldwide.
The Core
Usually, the Core i5 series gives fans the best results for their dollar. Yet with those two additional cores, in most games, and in several applications, Intel's highest-end Core i5 is faster than Core i7-7700K. This means that the Coffee Lake Core i5s substitute the Core i7s of the last generation
Price in Pakistan
The Core i5 8400 is one of the most inexpensive Coffee Lake chips you can probably buy right now; luckily, it is also the perfect one for gamers with pure strain. It is available at a low price in Pakistan.
Pros
- Good multi-thread efficiency
- Best-in-class gaming results in the Coffee Lake lineup
- Intel stock cooler added to the original box
- A reasonable price
- Six full cores
- best-in-generation
Cons
- No HyperThreading
- Required New Motherboards
- Physical overclocking yields minimal gains
- Not unlocked for overclocking
- Only Z370 processors available at startup
Conclusion
With more and more new desktop processors and platforms releasing in 2017, chips have been finding it harder and harder to carve out a place for themselves as the year progresses. .This is also a little bit of a concern for the unquestionably amazing Core i5-8400 processor.
It's obvious that the Core i5-8400 pulls out a nice niche for itself on a few platforms:
As a general-purpose processor for those who could do some occasional video editing or churning through certain thread-intensive computing tasks.
As an outstanding standard gaming processor. Hence, even with the locked processor, it provides awesome performance at a reasonable price!
