Intel Core i5-10400 Processor: A Reliable Workhorse for Modern Computing
The Intel Core i5-10400 is a 10th generation desktop processor built on the Comet Lake architecture. It is a 6-core, 12-thread CPU with a base clock speed of 2.9 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.3 GHz. Featuring 12MB of Intel Smart Cache and support for dual-channel DDR4-2666 memory, it offers a balanced blend of multi-threaded performance and power efficiency, making it a popular choice for mainstream computing systems.
This processor is well-suited for a variety of applications due to its competent core count and hyper-threading capability. Key use cases include:
-
Office Productivity & Business Desktops: Efficiently handles multitasking with office suites, web browsers, and communication tools.
-
Entry-Level Content Creation: Provides enough power for photo editing, light video editing, and graphic design work.
-
Mainstream Gaming: When paired with a dedicated graphics card, it delivers smooth performance in many modern games at 1080p resolution.
-
Digital Signage & Kiosks: Offers reliable, stable performance for 24/7 operational systems in retail and public spaces.
-
Thin Clients & General-Purpose Workstations: A cost-effective CPU for networked environments and general business workloads.
For context, here is a comparison of the i5-10400 with a newer generation mobile processor found in some Thinvent systems:
| Feature | Intel Core i5-10400 (Desktop) | Intel Core 5 120U (Mobile, for reference) |
|---|---|---|
| Cores / Threads | 6 Cores / 12 Threads | 10 Cores (2P+8E) / 12 Threads |
| Max Turbo Frequency | Up to 4.3 GHz | Up to 5.0 GHz |
| Cache | 12 MB Intel Smart Cache | 12 MB |
| Memory Support | DDR4-2666 | DDR4/DDR5 (varies by system) |
| Typical Use | Mainstream Desktops, Workstations | Modern Mini PCs, Ultrabooks |
While the i5-10400 is a capable desktop processor, newer architectures like the 12th Gen Intel Core found in our current product lines offer significant advancements in hybrid core design, power efficiency, and integrated graphics, leading to better performance in compact form factors.
