Intel Core i5-9400F Processor – 9th Generation, Up to 4.10 GHz, 6 Cores
The Intel Core i5-9400F is an ideal choice for those looking for a solid combination of performance, efficiency, and reliability in desktop computers. Part of the 9th generation of Intel Core processors, this model was designed using the Coffee Lake architecture and manufactured with 14nm lithography, ensuring fast and stable processing across a wide variety of tasks.
With 6 physical cores and 6 processing threads, the i5-9400F is optimized to deliver a smooth experience in both everyday applications and demanding gaming or content creation programs. Its base frequency of 2.90 GHz can dynamically increase to 4.10 GHz thanks to Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Technology, allowing it to respond quickly to intensive workloads. Its 9 MB Smart Cache improves access to frequently used data, accelerating system response times.

One of the most notable features of the i5-9400F is that it doesn't include integrated graphics , making it a great choice for setups that incorporate a dedicated graphics card, such as gaming stations or professional editing rigs. This specification also allows for better resource utilization by eliminating unnecessary integrated features for these types of users.
With a power consumption of just 65W , the i5-9400F delivers excellent thermal and power efficiency, making it ideal for compact systems or configurations with limited heat dissipation. Its thermal design (PCG 2015C) and maximum operating temperature (TJUNCTION) of 100°C ensure performance is maintained without overheating, provided a suitable cooling solution is used.
