The problem with the i5 10400 is itвЂ™s a locked chip, meaning no overclocking to squeeze more life and performance out of it later on. And 10th gen added hyperthreading to every SKU now. However, both the 10th gen Intel and Ryzen 3000 processors have 1 generation ahead of them. Ryzen formerly got the recommendation for its value to performance, more cores/threads, as well as upgradability. The reason people here are typically unwilling to recommend Intel is due to their higher prices, hotter operating temperatures, and larger power draw. Overall, the Core i5-10500 is a very good performer with its 6-cores and 12-threads in this benchmark.ДЄt this point in time, both the i5 10400 and Ryzen 3600 are good CPU choices, and theyвЂ™ll be fine for many years to come as far as gaming CPUs.

Intel's Core i5-10500 notches a small win over the Core i5-9500, but opens up an impressive lead over the stock Ryzen 5 3600X. The Core i5-10500 yields minor improvements over the similarly-equipped 6-core Core i5-9500 of 7.1%. The Core i5-10500's performance earns it the 11th place. The Core i5-9500 clearly shows how significantly the mid-range Coffee Lake Refresh-based CPUs fall behind the Comet Lake models. That's a ~7.1% generational speed-up in this title. Again, the Core i5-9500 tumbles down the chart, falling behind its Comet Lake-based successor. In this benchmark, the Core i5-10500 has an impressive performance, which is way ahead of the last generation Core i5-9500 by 7.1%. The Core i5-10500 takes a comfortable 1.3% lead over the Ryzen 5 3600X. It is 0.3% lower than the Core i5-11500 while being 2.5% higher than the Core i5-9600KF. Overall, the Core i5-10400 is an average performer with its 6-cores and 12-threads in this benchmark. Intel's Core i5-10400 notches a small win over the Core i5-9400, but opens up an impressive lead over the stock Ryzen 5 3600X. The Core i5-10400 yields minor improvements over the similarly-equipped 6-core Core i5-9400 of 4.1%. The Core i5-10400's performance earns it the 16th place.

The Core i5-9400 clearly shows how significantly the mid-range Coffee Lake Refresh-based CPUs fall behind the Comet Lake models. That's a ~4.1% generational speed-up in this title. Again, the Core i5-9400 tumbles down the chart, falling behind its Comet Lake-based successor. In this benchmark, the Core i5-10400 has an impressive performance, which is way ahead of the last generation Core i5-9400 by 4.1%. The Core i5-10400 takes a comfortable 4.5% lead over the Ryzen 5 3600X. It is 0% lower than the Core i5-8600K while being 0% higher than the Core i5-10400F.
