Description
Intel Core i5-10400F 2.9GHz Processor - High Performance CPU arrives as a balanced desktop chip launched in Q2'20, aimed at gamers and mainstream users who need strong multi-threaded performance.
The Intel Core i5-10400F is a 10th generation Comet Lake processor featuring 6 cores and 12 threads with a base frequency of 2.9 GHz and Intel Turbo Boost up to 4.3 GHz, making it well suited for gaming, content creation, and everyday multitasking.
Built on a 14 nm process and packaged for the LGA 1200 (Socket H5), the processor includes 12 MB of Smart Cache, a TDP of 65 W and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory at up to 2666 MHz for a maximum of 128 GB of RAM.
Although the i5-10400F does not include on-board graphics, it provides 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes with flexible configurations (1x16, 2x8, 1x8+2x4), making it a solid pairing for discrete graphics cards and modern motherboards.
Security and platform features include Intel AES-NI, Intel VT-x and VT-d, Intel SGX, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep, Execute Disable Bit and thermal monitoring technologies, which together enhance responsiveness, virtualization, and platform security.
Included in the box is a compatible cooler (Thermal Solution PCG 2015C), which helps with straightforward desktop installation and keeps operating temperatures in check up to a Tjunction of 100 °C.
Typical use cases include a gaming build with a discrete GPU, a productive workstation for streaming and content editing, or a reliable family PC for multitasking and light virtualization.
