8.4
The Intel Core i5-9400 6-Core 2.9GHz has 6 cores that run at a clock speed of 2.9GHz.
It has an L3 cache size of 9MB.
| Cores | 6 | More cores means more threads and therefore more processes can be run simultaneously | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | 2.9GHz | Clock frequency indicates processor speed, but is only reliable in comparisons between CPUs of the same family | |
| Codename | Coffee Lake | The code name given by the manufacturers | |
| Release Date | 31 Jan 2019 | The more recent the release, the more likely the CPU will receive up-to-date manufacturer support | |
| TDP | 65W | The lower the TDP, the less power the CPU requires to run and thus the more efficient it is and the less heat it creates | |
| L3 Cache | 9MB | The L3 cache is the largest CPU cache, but still provides very quick access to data | |
| Lithography | 14nm | The smaller the lithographic technology used, the less power is required to run the CPU, and the less heat is created during intense use | |
| CPU Socket | LGA 1151 | The motherboard socket and CPU socket should match to indicate the CPU is compatible with the motherboard and will fit into it | |
| Integrated GPU | Intel HD Graphics 630 Mobile | The integrated GPU in tandem with a compatible motherboard can provide basic graphical utility without the need of a graphics card | |
| Unlocked Multiplier | no | An unlocked clock multiplier means you can adjust the multiplier for an overclocking speed boost |
The CPU is over 2 years old, meaning it is based on aging technologies and will not have the level of support that you would find in a newer processor.
Created with lithographic technology sized at 14 nanometers, the Core i5-9400 6-Core 2.9GHz is built for extreme speeds and efficiency, and with a Thermal Design Power of 65W the amount of power necessary to run is not excessive.
