Intel Core i5-10400 Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.3 GHz LGA1200 (Intel 400 Series Chipset) 65W, Model Number: BX8070110400

To start, I'm not going to hit you with all the spec data. Plenty of sites for that kind of measurement. I'm going to tell you, being a 20 year IT professional, this is a solid processor. I replaced a Xeon E3-1225 with this processor. Even coming from a Xeon for productivity and virtualization, this is a solid upgrade. My system is stable, performs faster, programs execute faster, and my VMs within my labs operate far more efficiently and provide the fast operation requires for a IT professional. If you are considering the 10600, then this is worth the consideration if you're in the productivity space. If you're in the overclock gaming space, then, no, this processor isn't the best option out there. However, it is reasonably priced, has some good mainboard support options, and I even ported over my RAM from my 4+ year old Xeon system without any problems. So, this is not the MOST economic processor. However, its relatively economic, stable, has good hardware support options, and provides a solid improvement over prior generation Intel products. Point is, if you're looking to buy a solid CPU, this is a good bet. If you're looking to overclock the thing into a lava pit in your tower, just go elsewhere and don't give negative reviews when YOU are the one out of spec.

Choosing a processor is all about economics. With so many processor choices on the market, the trick is finding a balance between price and power. For me, the 10400 was the perfect balance. A lot of reviews are recommending the AMD Ryzen processors, but it seems most of these reviews are geared to gamers. Unfortunately, the latest Ryzen processors do not include graphics processing on board, and the reviews ignore this point because gamers always include a graphics card in their builds. Well I am not a gamer, and don't need to waste money on a graphics board. So the fact that the 10400 comes with onboard graphics was a selling point for me. I play WoW, and have no problems playing with the integrated UHD chipset. With 6 cores and hyperthreading, this processor is like buying a previous-generation i7. I can run multiple virtual machines on my desktop with no slowdown whatsoever. Nor do I want to overclock, since reliability is more important to me than squeezing a few more clock cycles. I think this hits the perfect balance between power and affordability.

Notably faster than the i7-6700 it replaced plus two more cores for six cores total. Good price. Excellent for someone who does day-to-day stuff on their PC and work mainly in Microsoft Office and other basic apps plus games. Obviously, if you're doing lots of video encoding or apps that benefit from multithreaded tasks, a Ryzen might give you better value for your money. But this is faster in gaming than the Ryzen 3600 and even beats it in some "productivity benchmarks" so it was the best processor for my use case: MS office, video conferencing, very light video editing and GAMES. Not overclockable, but that's fine. You can still use fast memory on a z490 motherboard and get notable gains in performance. Low 65w TDP means it runs very cool and can maintain max turbo till the cows come home.

Es mi procesador actual mas de 1 año de uso.

Muy buen

At one point in time this was one of the best budget processors you could get along with the 10400f, which was back in 2020 to 2021. We've moved past that era but this CPU can still hold its own. The i5-10400 non-F at least comes with integrated Graphics, which can be useful at times. I bought this to test a couple questionable lga1200 motherboards. The reason I picked the i5-10400 over the i3-10100 and i5-10-400f is because the price wasn't all that much higher than the i3 and this one comes with the iGPU. With the iGPU, I don't have to hook up a Graphics card to test a motherboard. Would I buy one of these for a budget build today? No, I wouldn't. The only way I'd think of it is if I already have an lga1200 motherboard. Otherwise I would go with a newer 6-core processor which can usually be found for a similar price. I'd avoid 10th and 11th Gen processors, unless I had no other choice. The stock cooler? No, I would not use that either. Intel should have included the stock cooler that has a copper base, and it would help if they used a beefier cooler to that is screw mounted. In the past, my side hustle was buying broken gaming PCs, and a number of those broken PCs had an Intel stock cooler that had become dislodged.

Using this CPU in an office work environment and runs OK. Lacking a little performance compared to price. But then Intel is always way overpriced. I use this as a tech pc doing work like imaging, backups of other office pc support role. RDP and other office work. Seams a little under whelming for what I got. I guess I should have gone with i7 or a i9 looking back now. This CPU does the job OK so far. I went Intel because its industry standard compared to AMD that is not totally compatible with office environment. AMD being great gaming but I'm not there in this situation.

Excelente producto, buen rendimiento y bajo consumo

Perfetto!

Working well in an Asus Prime B560 Plus motherboard. Runs cool with an Arctic 12 CO cooler. Supplied Intel cooler was an aluminium core Foxconn cooler, which would probably be OK, but wanted a quieter cooler. So far CPU easily handles everything easily with low CPU usage % and runs cool. Item was brand new in sealed box and appears to be genuine Intel. It was delivered quickly and good value. Includes graphics core which uses 8gb shared memory with 2 x 8gb RAM installed.

普通に使うには十分な性能だと思います。 コスパを考えると非常に良いのではないでしょうか。

I bought Asus h510m-e R2 from local shop and plugged this i5 10400 processor, I installed Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS and it works flawlessly on this relatively new system, of course later version of ubuntu will work too but I needed something that can run atleast 18.04.6 and above.... I also bought TP link WN881ND v1 with atheros chip and it is natively supported by ubuntu... Remember v2 is different wifi card and has realtek chip so can't guarantee

I recently purchased the Intel Core i5-10400 for my virtual machine servers, and I must say I'm thoroughly impressed. One of the standout features for me is the integrated graphics, which works flawlessly and allows me to save on additional graphics cards. But what really impressed me is the temperature management. Even under heavy loads, the temps remain well within reasonable limits. And it's great that Intel has included a cooler with some thermal paste, making installation a breeze. Overall, I would highly recommend the Intel Core i5-10400 for anyone looking for a reliable processor that can handle a variety of tasks. Whether you're a gamer or a business user, this CPU is definitely worth considering.
