Unless there is an NDA until May 20 to publish the processor's review, a Chinese analyst has decided to skip and publish details of its operation, so now we can go in to check its performance.
Intel Core i5-10400, a very promising processor
The Core i5-10400 is a six-core physical processor and twelve communications cables thanks to HyperThreading technology that operates at a high speed of 2.9 GHz and reaches 4.3 GHz Boost in one core (4, 0 GHz across cores). It has 12 MB of total storage and its basic selling price is $ 182, so the a priori looks like a very good gaming option.
The chip compares to the six Core i5-9400F processors and the 8-core Core i7-9700F processors, though they both lack HyperThreading support. The Core i5-9400F operates at a base frequency of 2.9 GHz and 4.1 GHz Boost, while the Core i7-9700F runs on a base 3 GHz and 4.7 GHz Boost, so the Core Core i7 has a slight advantage over i5-1400 due to its high number of cores and high operating speed.
In addition to these benches, the analyst also highlighted the key differences between Intel & # 39; s 10th and 9th processors: the Core i5-10400 has a more compact circuit in the background compared to the 9th generation. and a large number of pins. Similarly, the socket direction is reversed, which means that the ninth-generation processor cannot be physically installed on these boards.
Core i5-10400 performance test
We will continue to see the marks that they have set up for this processor, starting with PCMark 10. Here the processor manages to catch up with the Core i7, which, as we have shown before in a very powerful a priori, offers better performance in production. but to spend less on creating content.
Moving on to other types of benchmarks, this is a functionality shown in SuperPi and WPrime, where RAM memory performance also has a significant impact. Here we see the performance between the other two processes they are comparing.
We move on to the Cinebench, a benchmark when measuring the overall performance of a processor. Here again we find that the processor is between the other two, and we have an obligation to remember that we are dealing with a cheaper processor than the two.
When we go for a game-related test, we have no better choice than 3DMark, where the performance of this processor coincides with the previous generation Core i7.
We have progressed to gaming performance, and although only limited to two games (GTA V and Assassin & # 39; s Creed Odyssey), in both cases the Core i5-10400 offers 1080p better performance than the other two chips.
To finish, they also measure the processor's usage and its temperature. Here the processor showed a maximum consumption of 85.91 watts and a minimum of 10 watts, much lower than its predecessors. In terms of operating temperature, the processor was kept at 26ºC and did not work up to 70ºC with a large load using the Intel reference heatsink, which is not bad at all.
