With the continuous development of science and technology, Intel, as the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, has been driving the progress of computer technology. Recently, Intel released the 14th generation processor of Core, of which the i5-14400 has attracted much attention. So, how does this processor perform in real-world use?This article will give you a detailed review of the performance of the Core 14th Gen i5-14400.
1. Appearance and structure.
The Core 14th Gen i5-14400 uses the same 14nm process as its predecessor and has a package area of 375 mm² with a maximum power consumption of 65 watts. In terms of appearance, the i5-14400 is not much different from its predecessor, and still adopts a fan cooling design, which is convenient for users to install and upgrade.
Second, performance.
1.Processor performance.
According to Intel's official data, the Core 14th Gen i5-14400 has 6 cores and 12 threads with a base frequency of 25GHz, the maximum turbo frequency can reach 40ghz。In practical application, we found that the performance of the i5-14400 is basically the same as that of the previous generation, which can meet the needs of most users. Whether it's daily office, web browsing, or some light graphics processing and game entertainment, the i5-14400 can handle it easily.
2.Core graphics performance.
The i5-14400 has a built-in UHD 730 core graphics and has 24 EU execution units with a frequency of 350MHz. In the actual test, we found that the performance of this core graphics card is basically the same as that of the previous generation. In dealing with some daily graphics processing tasks, such as editing, etc., the UHD 730 core graphics can meet the basic needs of users. However, when performing some high-load graphics tasks, such as 3D gaming, the UHD 730 GPU's performance is a bit inadequate. At this point, users can consider pairing it with a discrete graphics card for a better gaming experience.
3.Memory and storage performance.
The i5-14400 supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a maximum capacity of 128GB. In real tests, we found that the memory performance of this processor is on par with the previous generation. When dealing with memory-hungry applications, the i5-14400 delivers consistent performance.
In addition, the i5-14400 also supports PCIe 40 channels, the maximum bandwidth can reach 32GbS. When paired with a high-speed SSD, this processor can take full advantage of the performance of the storage device, giving users faster read and write speeds.
3. Summary. To sum up, the Core 14th Gen i5-14400 is basically the same as the previous generation in terms of performance, and it is still able to meet the needs of most users. For users who are looking for high performance, consider pairing it with a discrete graphics card for better graphics processing power. Overall, the i5-14400 is a recommended processor.
