Intel Core i5-11400 11th Gen Rocket Lake Processor

Intel Core i5-11400 11th Gen Rocket Lake Processor

This Core i5-11400 Processor comes with Intel UHD Graphics 730. This new 11th gen Rocket Lake microarchitecture is manufactured with the 14nm process that comes with six cores and twelve threads. As this chip is updated to the latest BIOS revision, it nicely fits into any Intel 400 and 500 series motherboards. Focusing on this, all the major motherboard manufacturers have already started BIOS updates for their 400 and 500 series lineup. These Processors also support 64-bit computing on Intel architecture and require an Intel x86-64 (64 bit) architecture-enabled BIOS.

With a bus speed of 8 GT/s, it has thermal design power (TDP) rating of 125W. This latest microchip has few expansion options such as 4.0 PCI express revision having configured up to Up to 1×16+1×4, 2×8+1×4, 1×8+3×4 and a maximum of 20 lanes. Considering the memory this processor has a dual-channel of max 128GB of the size that supports up to DDR4-3200 bus speed.

Intel Core i5-11400 Review

The Intel Core i5-11400 is one of Intel’s mid-range Desktop processors. It was released in 2021 with 6 cores and 12 threads. With base clock at 2.8GHz, max speed at 4.2GHz, and a 65W power rating. The Core i5-11400 is based on the Rocket Lake 14nm family and is part of the Intel Core i5 series. Core i5-11400 is also the successor of Intel’s last gen Core i5-10400 processor that was based on the Comet Lake and 14nm process and was released in 2020.

In our mind, the best processors are the ones that deliver outstanding performance at a reasonable price point. And, the Core i5-11400 absolutely nails this concept. Speaking of which, if you want a high-end desktop (HEDT) 8-core processor that can compete with the Intel Core i5-11400, you’re going to have to drop quite a bit more cash and get something like the $399 AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. And, even if you do go with this AMD chip, you won’t necessarily end up with the same level of performance.

The Intel Core i5-11400 has a 65W TDP, and with that fairly low amount of power, it’s able to deliver quite a lot. This processor can keep up with even the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, a processor that considerably costs more and consumes more power, with its TDP of 105W.

Performance
In our Real Bench image editing test, which stresses single ­threaded performance, the Core i5-11400 blew the Core i5-10400 out of the water with a score of 61,454 vs 38,420 and also bettered the Ryzen 5 3600, even when the latter was overclocked. The Core i5-11600K was a fair way ahead, though, with a score of 68,355.

Meanwhile, our heavily multi-threaded Handbrake video encoding test showed a reasonably close run between the new Rocket Lake Core i5 chips, with the Core i5-11400 scoring 467,568 compared to 507,729 for the Intel Core i5-11600K. The Ryzen 5 3600 also beat the Core i5 11400 here, although not by much – its score of 473,815 is about what you would expect for the extra money.

The Intel Core i5-11400 overall system score of 193,474 was again just a little behind the Ryzen 5 3600, and a little further behind the 210,741 scored by the Core i5-11600K, but it was miles ahead of the 128,319 managed by the lowly Core i5-10400.

Moving to Cine bench, the Intel Core i5-11400 multi­ threaded score of 10,294 was 9 per cent higher than the Ryzen 5 3600, where the Core i5-10400 was barely able
