When news first leaked of Intel's jump from four to six cores with the new Coffee Lake processors, the biggest question we had concerned the relationship between the last-gen i7 and the next-gen i5. Surely six physical cores could trump four, even if hype...
Abstract: For the past few years, processors made by Intel have been more powerful – and much more popular – than those made by rival AMD. However, AMD’s Ryzen processors have turned that around: they’re powerful CPUs at a tempting price, and an excellent alternati...
Abstract: There's no doubt that AMD's Ryzen processors challenged Intel's position in the desktop PC market this summer. Seemingly in response (though we all know this stuff is planned way in advance), the Coffee Lake-based Core i7 and i5 CPUs landed with six cores...

Have we already said that competition is good for the processor market this year? Intel takes, enforced by AMD or not, the biggest step in performance since the Nehalem-generation. Back then, in 2008, we saw 6-core Intel-processors for the first time in t...

Six cores and high clock speed equals high performance, Intel IPC is superb, Simple overclocking with Z370 Aorus Gaming 7, Prices have been held steady from 7th. Gen
CPU cooling is hindered by TIM. Again, 8th Gen. CPU requires a Z370 motherboard
Wow. Just wow. Intel's new Core i7-8700K is fabulous and performs like a champ with those six cores and 12 threads showing that the time has come to move beyond quad core. It is painful to consider that if Intel soldered the package and allowed it to cool...
Intel has finally been moved into taking a long, hard look at its mainstream enthusiast PC chips and motherboards. Such re-evaluation of the product portfolio has been largely instigated by the arrival of AMD's Ryzen processors, though that is certainly n...

6 core design, Great for productivity tasks, Exceptional 1080p gaming performance, Great for 4K gaming, Runs surprisingly cool for a 6-core CPU, Very competitive price,
Higher than expected idle power consumption, Neutral, New CPUs require Z370 motherboard, “The latest i5 is competitively priced for a 6 core CPU, and while it does lack Hyper-Threading, it doesn’t lack raw gaming performance. An ideal choice for any gamin
PricingThe Intel Core i5-8400 is priced to be a mainstream processor for those building a new Z370 based system. It should be in retail stores both online and in-store from today for around £200. Of course, we expect retailers to battle it out with each o...
Stable performance, Lots of RGB LEDs and customisation options
No DisplayPort for 4K video output, No onboard power and reset buttons,
Anyone looking to buy a completely new desktop PC today should avoid previous-generation Intel CPUs simply because you get more physical cores at all price levels with 8th Gen Core models as well as AMD's entire Ryzen lineup. The Core i5-8400 is an absolu...
If you're on a budget, the i5-8400 is a great choice with its true six cores, which used to be found only on higher end processors.(previously published in issue November 2017)...
