Review: Intel Core i5-11400F processor

Review: Intel Core i5-11400F processor

We again descend from eight towards six processor cores and twelve threads, this round with the Core i5 11400F, a processor that might be considered the most high-grade value for money in the Rocket Lake-S range from Intel with a listed price of roughly 157 USD.

Read the review here.

Im still in favor getting an 8core even if your gaming only. CPU utilization in some of the newer games are quite high on these 6cores and dont forget that Hillbert review only shows the average framerate.
For a piece of mind and futureproof i would still go with 10700/11700 or 5800x.


I do agree. The min fps avg is higher on my 2700x vs when I had my 2600x. Besides lower cpu usuage, at times the 2700x feels smoother too.

I agree and disagree , the 10700 can be found for a close price so yeah i agree , but the 11700 and 5800 are double and triple the cost if you aim for a 11400f you are doing it for the price the 11700 and 580p are in a completely different price category.

Yeah, I think 8c/16t is a good future-proofing core count. For those who just want something good now, a 3600(X) seems to be the best option - affordable, plenty fast enough, and a reasonable wattage.
I'd like to get the 5800X but too damn expensive. I'll likely upgrade when DDR5 CPUs come out. Not worth it at this point.

Have you both read the conclusion from Hilbert? When full utilization during gaming without limits it consumes the most power from all CPUs.

My conclusion: For an all day hard-core edge gamer, this will eat both the dust and electricity faster than more expensive ones. So, from me, it is a huge NO unless you keep it purely at stock /w default BIOS settings and play with mid-ranged GPUs as a mid-range CPU this is.

You know, you can also do some undervolt :-) which helps alot.
