Intel core i5 2400 chipset11/9/2022 ![]() That’s a leap over older integrated cores, but it’s still some distance short of even the most modest current-generation AMD and Nvidia discrete graphics cards. The new core supports DirectX 11.2 but not DirectX 12, and it’s got 48 shaders and 8 ROPs to produce pixel and texture fillrates of 2.8Gpixels/s and 5.6Gtexel/s. In this chip the GPU runs at between 350MHz and 950MHz, which means it’s the weakest of any standard-power Skylake Core i5 part – the rest have top speeds of either 1,050MHz or 1,150MHz. The Core i5-6400 deploys Intel’s HD Graphics 530 integrated core. The i5-6400 isn’t a K-edition chip unlocked for overclocking – the chance to tweak is only limited to certain boards with the right BIOS – but its more modest power demands means it’ll be absolutely fine beneath Intel’s stock cooler – something that can’t always be said for overclocked K-edition models. The i5-6400 is rated for 65W, which is the same as other standard Core i5 Skylake parts – but the i5-6600K, which has a higher speed and is properly unlocked for overclocking, demands a peak of 91W from the PSU. The other noticeable differences comes in power consumption. The Core i5-6600K, meanwhile, starts at 3.5GHz and has a Turbo peak of 3.9GHz. The i5-6400 runs at a standard 2.7GHz and can use Turbo Boost to improve two of its cores to a top speed of 3.3GHz. The big difference between the Core i5-6400 and pricier chips in this range comes is clock speed – the key department where Intel cuts back in order to make cheaper processors. That means it’s still got most of the assets that pricier Core i5 parts have: it’s got four physical cores, 1MB of L2 cache and 6MB of 元 cache. The Core i5-6400 is the most affordable standard chip from the Skylake Core i5 range. It will be a touch slower but then that’s reflected in its far more palatable £140 price. Packing the latest Skylake architecture and 14nm manufacturing process as the company’s flagship Core i7 6700K it has everything you need to make a powerful and power-frugal PC. ![]() ![]() The Core i5-6400 sits squarely in the middle of Intel’s mainstream desktop processor range. ![]()
