The editors didn't like
Can't be overclocked and lacks HyperThreading
Conclusion
No HyperThreading
No Overclocking
No BSeries motherboards at launch
Poor availability
Locked ratio multiplier
Not unlocked for overclocking (though i5 K-version does exist)
Requires a new motherboard
Despite Z370 chipset offering no substantive new features
Requires New Motherboards
Despite Using LGA1151 Socket
Not All Unlocked
Multiplier locked
Manual overclocking yields limited gains
New motherboard required
Lacks HyperThreading
Only Z370 motherboards available at launch
Increases platform cost
Relatively low all-core clock frequency
Intel's B360 motherboards won't be available until 2018 and the cost of Z370 boards strains the value of this offer
Have we already said that competition is good for the processor market this year? Intel takes, enforced by AMD or not, the biggest step in performance since the Nehalem-generation. Back then, in 2008, we saw 6-core Intel-processors for the first time in t...

Six cores and high clock speed equals high performance, Intel IPC is superb, Simple overclocking with Z370 Aorus Gaming 7, Prices have been held steady from 7th. Gen
CPU cooling is hindered by TIM. Again, 8th Gen. CPU requires a Z370 motherboard
Wow. Just wow. Intel's new Core i7-8700K is fabulous and performs like a champ with those six cores and 12 threads showing that the time has come to move beyond quad core. It is painful to consider that if Intel soldered the package and allowed it to cool...

6 core design, Great for productivity tasks, Exceptional 1080p gaming performance, Great for 4K gaming, Runs surprisingly cool for a 6-core CPU, Very competitive price,
Higher than expected idle power consumption, Neutral, New CPUs require Z370 motherboard, “The latest i5 is competitively priced for a 6 core CPU, and while it does lack Hyper-Threading, it doesn’t lack raw gaming performance. An ideal choice for any gamin
PricingThe Intel Core i5-8400 is priced to be a mainstream processor for those building a new Z370 based system. It should be in retail stores both online and in-store from today for around £200. Of course, we expect retailers to battle it out with each o...
Intel has finally been moved into taking a long, hard look at its mainstream enthusiast PC chips and motherboards. Such re-evaluation of the product portfolio has been largely instigated by the arrival of AMD's Ryzen processors, though that is certainly n...
Stable performance, Lots of RGB LEDs and customisation options
No DisplayPort for 4K video output, No onboard power and reset buttons,
Anyone looking to buy a completely new desktop PC today should avoid previous-generation Intel CPUs simply because you get more physical cores at all price levels with 8th Gen Core models as well as AMD's entire Ryzen lineup. The Core i5-8400 is an absolu...
If you're on a budget, the i5-8400 is a great choice with its true six cores, which used to be found only on higher end processors.(previously published in issue November 2017)...
I do not have the price for the Intel Core i5-8400 but the estimated price for Malaysia market is RM 700 – RM 900 range, it could be more but it shouldn't be too far apart. The Intel Core i5-8400 is now a “6 cores 6 threads” model which is unlike before w...
Tal y como sospechábamos, las diferencias en juegos de los 5 procesadores Coffee Lake comparados es nimia. Solo los tests que son más dependientes de CPU exhiben la escalera típica que diferencia a cada modelo según su gama: por ejemplo en los tests de CP...

no tiene ht, no compensa adquirirlo si tienes un i7 de sexta o sÉptima generaciÓn
acerca de Intel Core I5-8400El Intel Core i5-8400 se convierte en unas de las mejores opciones para una configuración Gaming o Configuración avanzada por menos de 1200 euros. Nos ha gustado mucho la soltura con la que se mueve en juegos y en aplicaciones...

Ampliar tDesde la puesta a la venta de los procesadores Ryzen siempre se ha mirado de reojo a Intel porque sus procesadores incluían menos núcleos que los de AMD. Pero como se ha venido viendo, incluso el Core i5-7400 de cuatro núcleos lógicos frente al R...
