Intel

The Intel Core i5-9400F is part of the budget models of the Core 9000 series and features six cores. This mid-range CPU impresses with increased clock rates and optimized boost functions compared to its predecessors, and it has a TDP of only 65 watts. The processor is compatible with Socket 1151 motherboards of the 300 series. With a base clock of 2.9 GHz, the Core i5-9400F offers a high clock rate that automatically increases when more performance is needed. Depending on the application's or game's requirements, its Turbo Boost function raises the clock frequency to 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 through overclocking. Intel's ninth-generation Core processors are manufactured using the 14nm++ process. According to Intel, this allows for up to 26% more performance with approximately 50% lower power consumption.

The F version comes without integrated graphics. The "F" designation means that the CPU is delivered with the integrated graphics unit disabled. Therefore, a dedicated graphics card is required to operate a system with this processor.

Very good for gaming! Personally I have coupled it with a GTX 1660Ti and it runs the vast majority of games in Ultra at over 60fps (1080p).
