Intel Core i5 10400 CPU

Very proud to say in a real world test this CPU beat the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 for the same price, in a similar build.
Mate and I had our differences for our builds this year, and he was dead set that his AMD build this year was surely the undisputed winner.
Fast forward to builds finished and ready to test.
In games achieving similar performance within a small margin, with the Intel notably running cooler.
In production software the Intel absolutely crushes it with efficient performance and faster rendering times across different programs.
So not only did I get a great CPU, I also won a bet.
Thanks Jared, it was worth to see the look on you...view more Very proud to say in a real world test this CPU beat the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 for the same price, in a similar build.

This is a great product for the price and the integrated gpu is very useful This is a great product for the price and the integrated gpu is very useful

I bought this as part of an upgrade from an i5-7600k and the performance boost is excellent. Very happy and would recommend as the right balance of performance and price.

Upgraded from an older gen i5 to this and it works great. Upgraded from an older gen i5 to this and it works great.

I like the price to performance for a VM host/NAS I built. Runs super fast, Chose this over the 10400F so that I could use integrated graphics rather than take up a precious slot with a GPU.

I was a little nervous when I purchased this that it might be a bit slow, but its fantastic and has never let me down so far.
Transcodes extremely well and happy with the product. I was a little nervous when I purchased this that it might be a bit slow, but its fantastic and has never let me down so far.

Am blown away but the development of the Intel CPU.
This thing is amazing!
Has like double the power of my last i7 for a fraction of the price.
Highly recommend.
Have used these in both server and gaming situations and they haven't disappointed. Am blown away but the development of the Intel CPU.
