After three months, Intel has finally completed the puzzle of the 14th generation Core desktop processor family at CES2024, and released a number of 14th generation Core non-K processors for ordinary gamers. How does the new 14th generation non-K processor that is still on par with the 13th generation still perform in the first **?We directly use the i5-14400 in our hands to measure the installation and take you to understand.
Intel i5-14400, LGA 1700 chassis, continues to be compatible with 600 series motherboards. 10 cores (6 performance cores + 4 efficiency cores) 16-thread design, built-in 20MB ** cache and 95MB of L2 cache. The base frequency is 25GHz, the maximum turbo frequency can reach 47GHz, built-in Intel UHD 730 core graphics. The base power consumption of the processor is 65W, and the maximum turbo power consumption is 148W
Compared to the previous generation i5-13400, the only difference is that the acceleration frequency is reduced from 46GHz to 47ghz。Of course, to support unlocking the SA voltage, it must also be emphasized. You can't, but you can't do without!
*From**, part to be verified.
Configuration list: i5-14400 processor, MSI MPG B760M EDGE TI WIFI Blade Titanium motherboard, Shadow 20th Anniversary Limited RTX 4070 graphics card, HOF Pro D5-7000MHz 16G*2 memory, Xingyao 2T 20th Anniversary Edition SSD, Fengling 600 white air cooling, Guardian G700 white direct power supply, Phantom MINI white sea view room case, Dream Pro white cooling fan*7 (4 anti + 3 positive)...A set has nothing to do with cost performance, but the whole machine configuration with the best appearance is still okay to pick and choose a job.
The non-K 14th generation Core i5 can be regarded as waiting. Directly entertain it with a high-spec MSI B760M Blade Titanium motherboard. Of course, if the budget is really limited, the entry-level B760 must also be okay.
As the first B-board in the Blade series, the B760 Blade Titanium motherboard perfectly inherits the high-value features of the Blade series, and the M-ATX board type can also adapt to more installation environments. In terms of configuration, the motherboard adopts a 12+1+1 phase DRMOS intelligent power supply design, which is full of 14400 processor turbo frequency, which can be said to be stress-free. In terms of specially optimized memory support, you can easily handle 7800MHz+ OC high-frequency D5 memory. But how many frequencies can be up to 14400 with non-k, we will reveal below.
How much frequency can the memory on,Look at your own physique and look at the motherboard,More eat the processor itselfIMC physique,Generally speaking, it is not recommended to choose too high frequency,6400MHzD5It feels like there should be no big problem。 But I'm a little bit unconvinced, so I chose HOF Pro D5-7000MHz 16G*2 memory. It can be tested stably, but I really don't recommend it, because I'm afraid that you won't be able to come up and scold me.
In terms of storage, even if it's just a faster game load and a faster transfer of large files, I still have no brains to recommend PCIe40 solid, after all, it's really not expensive. However, in terms of capacity, it depends on the actual needs of the individual. We chose the 20th Anniversary Edition 2TB M2 SSD, 7000 6400MB s read and write performance, far ahead.
In terms of heat dissipation, the maximum turbo frequency power consumption of 14400 is 148W, and general air cooling can easily relieve heat. We chose the white Wind Spirit 600 pure white fantasy single tower air cooled today. High performance, small size, ARGB lighting effects, we have them all.
Install air cooling. 
The platform is entered into the chassis.
100 yuan level sea view room case, who wants to tell me that it is not cost-effective, I really have to be in a hurry with you!Phantom MINI white sea view room case, no A-pillar design, more transparent vision. The three dimensions of the chassis are 365*212*442mm, and the appearance is not discounted, but the volume is smaller. The best choice for creating a small sea view house at low cost.
In terms of power supply, it is still cost-effective first, and we chose the direct power supply of the Shadow Guardian G700 pure white gaming version. Pure white color matching, excellent appearance. The large capacity of 700W can also provide stable and efficient power consumption output for the host.
Except for special circumstances, graphics cards must be the absolute majority of the budget of the whole machine, but our protagonist today is even more special, the 20th anniversary limited RTX 4070 graphics card with hidden line design, the appearance is full, ** also directly reached the top in the crowd 4070. Of course, if it can't get into your eyes, in fact, it is also a good choice to replace it with 4070 Metal Master.
Graphics card on the computer. Tidying up the back line is a basic respect for every installation.
In terms of appearance, we should be doing a good job.

Summary of the assessment
The specifications of the newly released 14th generation i5-14400 are almost the same as those of the 13th generation 13400, but the maximum turbo frequency has been increased by 01GHz, in terms of actual performance testing, the overall performance is not much different, so we didn't bother to find a 13400 to compare and evaluate.
*The evaluation shows that the 14400 cannot perfectly play the full performance of the 4090 graphics card, but we tested it with the 4070 graphics card above, and it is obvious that it can still be full. The performance of some games is not even inferior to the combination of 13600kf + 4070, of course, in some games will still be at a significant disadvantage.
On the whole, the 14400 performance is indeed almost at the same level as the 13400, and the first ** has also achieved basic synchronization, but it should be noted that at present, the MSI motherboard has unlocked the SA voltage of the 14th generation non-K processor, and for players with low budgets and higher requirements for memory, the 14th generation 14400 processor may be more worth starting. Of course, the 13th generation of the 13400 processor will have a relatively obvious advantage in the current world.
