Last week Intel unveiled its new Intel 10th generation core processors, and although the reviews are not yet over, a Chinese website published its review of the i5-10400, disclosing its performance and power consumption.
The synthetic performance of the chip is excellent compared to the i5-9400F, its 9th generation predecessor, and shows a 39% improvement in Cinebench R15, 34% improvement in Cinebench R20 and 97% improvement in Winrar benchmark. This is undoubtedly a major generational change thanks to the integration of HyperThreading. So if you were planning to buy an i5-9400F, we recommend waiting for this new model.
On the games page, we have GTA V at the top and Assasin’s Creed Odyssey at the bottom. Although the i5-10400 is ahead in both cases, it’s not so different from the last generation that an upgrade would be justified.
It will be interesting to see further reviews of both this model and the unlocked i5, the i5-10600K, as they are usually the best alternatives between price and performance within Intel.
The tenth generation of Intel Core processors will be released later this month. An exact date has not yet been confirmed.
