Product details

The Intel Core i5-9400F belongs to the budget models of the Core 9000 series and has six cores. The mid-range CPU can also convince with increased clock rates and optimized boost functions compared to
its predecessors and its TDP is only 65 watts. The processor is compatible with Socket-1151 300 series mainboards. With a base clock rate of 2.9 GHz, the Core i5-9400F offers a high clock rate that automatically increases as more power is needed. Depending on the requirements of the application or game, its Turbo Boost function increases the clock frequency up to 4.1 GHz. The processor supports a maximum standard clock of 2666 MHz for DDR4 memory and supports dual channel mode. Depending on the motherboard, RAM kits with significantly higher clock rates can also be used via overclocking. Intel core processors of the ninth generation are manufactured with the 14nm++ process. According to Intel, this enables up to 26% more performance with around 50% lower power consumption.

F-Version without integrated graphics - The addition F means that the CPU is delivered with the integrated graphics unit deactivated. A dedicated graphics card is therefore required to operate a system with this processor.
