Review on BX80684I59400 Intel I5 9400 Processor FC LGA14A by Aashit Seth ᠌

A solid processor, bought for a fast, but not too demanding build with integrated graphics. Its pros: Six-core base model of the 9th generation core intel. This processor is more than enough for most non-gaming and gaming tasks for the next few years, further new games are already in question. The cores themselves are quite fast, the frequency is boosted well, the processor works well with memory with low latency. Thanks to this, he shows himself very well for his money in games. It emits little heat, even the simplest cooler can handle it, you can safely use it in micro-itx assemblies. This is the version with integrated intel uhd630 graphics. It is quite enough for non-gaming tasks, even in 4k, even in 2-3 monitors. If you have a video card, it makes sense to take a processor without video cores with the i5 9400f index a little cheaper. Has cons: Not much gone from the previous generation - i5 8400. There is no possibility of overclocking. For overclocking, similar processors in this generation are i5 9600k and i5 9600kf. There is no hyper threading, the number of threads is equal to the number of cores, there are 6 of them. Therefore, you should not take it for work tasks that require processing power of the processor, for these purposes it is better to choose amd ryzen or the 10th generation of intel. The successor to this 10th generation processor - i5 10400 6 cores and 12 threads, but it already needs a motherboard with a different socket - lga1200.
