Intel Core i5 8400T - Pros & Cons

stellar performer and a great value
cheaper price than the i5-8400 and great all around performance
a new processor and architecture improvements
produces precise and accurate results

Intel has long been conservative with its rated RAM support
it lacks an in-box cooler
the only new chips Intel is rolling out in this update
doesn't exactly push a modern CPU to its limits
chips were a bit slower when it came to lightly threaded tasks
overclocking gives you no extra gaming performance
will only function within the confines of a 300-series chipset
there is no option for backwards compatibility
Ryzen processors have closed the gap considerably in terms of gaming
Its clock speeds may be rather restrained
lack of Hyper Threading support
gaming performance is still a bit of a difficult undertaking
there is a direct connection between the motion inputs required
losing or winning
they always have a high kill percentage and
punctuation is not allowed except for periods
hyphens
apostrophes
little lace
leather
and a fiery attitude
the 8400 is not nearly as impressive
typically more expensive and only enables overclocking for unlocked parts
can't be overclocked and lacks HyperThreading
AMD was a bit cheeky and somewhat annoying
cost/performance equation is still skewed toward AMD
with six cores and does not support Hyper Threading

5.0

The Core i5-8400 is Intel's most affordable option to go beyond a quad-core setup on the desktop. With a price point of $190, it is only half the price of Core i7-8700K, but delivers nearly the same performance in games and can also compete with the Ryzen 6c12t processors thanks to its good single-threaded performance and high boost clock.

4.0

Intel's six-core "Coffee Lake" Core i5 trades blows away much pricier previous-generation Core i7 chips. But it's most impressive when paired with a dedicated graphics card.
