PreSolve Core I5-8400 Processor 2.8 GHz LGA 1151 6 Core Processor Designed for Desktop, Workstation  (Golden)

The Core i5-8400 is a 6-core, 6-thread processor built to deliver a strong balance of performance and power efficiency, making it highly suitable for mainstream users, gamers, and professionals looking for reliable multitasking performance. With a base clock speed of 2.8 GHz and the ability to turbo boost up to 4.0 GHz, it handles demanding workloads and high-performance tasks like gaming, editing, and browsing with excellent responsiveness. Manufactured using the 14nm process, it offers solid thermal performance, helping maintain cool operating temperatures while providing the power needed for modern applications. It supports Intel UHD Graphics 630, which enables smooth video playback, basic photo/video editing, and light gaming without the need for a dedicated GPU. The i5-8400 is compatible with the LGA 1151 socket and best paired with 300-series chipsets like H310, B360, H370, and Z370 for full feature access. It comes with a locked multiplier, meaning it is not overclockable, making it more stable for users who prefer plug-and-play performance rather than manual tuning. The processor supports DDR4-2666MHz RAM, allowing for fast and efficient memory performance in modern computing environments. With a TDP of 65W, it is energy-efficient, making it suitable for compact systems and environments where thermal management is a concern.
