Abstract: Our most recent CPU roundup pitted Intel's 7th and 8th-gen Core i5 and Core i7s against AMD's Ryzen 5 and 7 by playing and benchmarking nine representative PC games at multiple resolutions. In total eight new CPUs were tested at their base clock speeds...

The i3-8350K is more of a direct competitor to the R5 series than the R3 series, despite numerical prefix equivalence. At $170 to $200, depending on where and when prices are checked, the 8350K stands comparatively against the 1500X and 1600, or perhaps 1...

Incredible value, Six Cores, Strong performance in games and applications, Price, Bundled cooler
No BSeries motherboards at launch, Poor availability, Locked ratio multiplier
The Core i5-8400 brings a powerful six-core design to the mid-range, offering class-leading gaming performance and competitive performance in heavier applications. More expensive models offer more performance in both categories, but the Core i5-8400 i...

Battlefield V is playable on quad-cores but you can expect frequent frame dips, resulting in less consistent frame rates. For the most part, we've found that the older Core i5-7600K has been hanging in there pretty well with AAA titles released in 2018...

Wrapping up with the 720p data first, these low-res results are important for a few reasons, though for some they can be a bit misleading. They're important because they show us the true difference between CPUs in these games. With any speed limits remove...

Intel's i5-8400 CPU doesn't seem to want to stick at a fixed price – we've seen it bounce up and down with launch, though not as violently as the i7-8700K (which is gouged beyond belief at some retailers, like Microcenter). The i5-8400 has bounced about +...

It has been a long time coming, but we finally have something bigger than a quad-core processor on Intel's mainstream platform. Fundamentally it might be the same architecture as the processors preceded it, but after a decade of quad-core Intel parts, it...
Abstract: Early in 2017, Intel released their brand new Kaby Lake platform, featuring a plethora of CPUs and motherboards. The Kaby Lake platform introduced nothing new over what Skylake and its boards already offered. It was simply part of Intel's yearly refresh a...
6 cores in a Core i5, Great performance, Very competitive against Ryzen 5 parts, Price, Lower TDP and operating temperatures
No HyperThreading, No Overclocking
The Core i5-8400 is a rather interesting part, and one that many people might overlook, but they really shouldn't. If you read my Core i7-8700K review you know I said it was about time we had a 6-core Core i7 chip, but we also have a 6-core Core i5's! Tha...
