About the Intel Core i5-11400F CPU

The Intel Core i5-11400F is an end-of-life 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2021 with a suggested retail price of $157. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Rocket Lake-S microarchitecture. The i5-11400F is compatible with Intel Socket 1200 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Core i5-11400F supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-11400F has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-11400F features 6 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.6 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.4 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i5-11400F does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Core i5-11400F has the 132nd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 41.54% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 15,367 score and $157 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 97.88. This is the 8th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX CPU
