Processor Intel Core i5-11400 Tray

Intel Core i5-11400 Tray is an 11th generation 6-core / 12-thread processor from Intel for socket LGA 1200, aimed at strong mid-range gaming and productivity without unnecessary expense. The base frequency of 2.6 GHz and Turbo up to 4.4 GHz provide stable single-threaded and multi-threaded performance for everyday work and gaming. It works with DDR4 - 3200MHz memory, which is a good balance between price and speed. The iGPU Intel UHD Graphics 730 allows you to boot the system without a separate GPU, or use it for office / multimedia.

What you get

With 6 physical cores and 12 threads, the i5-11400 comfortably handles modern games, browsing with many tabs, office applications, and lighter tasks like amateur video editing or streaming. Turbo Boost up to 4.4 GHz helps with heavier single-threaded operations – games that rely on high frequency of a single core, or quickly opening heavy applications. 12 MB cache reduces access to RAM and provides smoother operation during multitasking. A TDP of 65 W means a relatively cool and economical chip, which is a plus for more compact cases and quieter cooling solutions. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 730 is fully sufficient for video, movies, a second display, and basic 2D/3D, if you haven't yet acquired or temporarily remain without a discrete GPU.

• Processor Intel Core i5 from 11th generation (Rocket Lake), oriented towards a balanced mid-range build for gaming and work.
• 6 physical cores and 12 threads, providing enough resources for modern games, streaming, and multitasking.
• Operating frequency 2.6 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 4.4 GHz for higher performance under load.
• 12 MB cache memory for faster access to data and smoother operation in everyday and professional applications.
• Support for DDR4 - 3200MHz memory, which is a good standard for budget and mid-range gaming configurations.
• TDP of 65 W, suitable for quieter systems and more modest cooling solutions, without the need for massive coolers.
• Integrated graphics Intel UHD Graphics 730, allowing use without a separate GPU for office, multimedia, and basic tasks.
• Package type Tray – delivered without a cooler, so you need to plan for a separate CPU cooler.
• 36 months warranty, giving you peace of mind for long-term use.

Who it is suitable for

Intel Core i5-11400 is a good choice for gamers with a mid-range configuration who aim for stable performance in combination with a normal class GPU, as well as for people who work with office software, browsers, and light creative applications. It is suitable for budget and moderately powerful gaming and home PCs. If you are chasing maximum FPS at high monitor frequencies or heavy professional rendering 24/7, a higher-class CPU would be more appropriate.

The combination of 6 cores / 12 threads, Turbo up to 4.4 GHz, DDR4 - 3200MHz support, and 65 W TDP makes the i5-11400 a pragmatic choice when you want serious performance but stay within a reasonable budget. Add a decent cooler and you get a stable, quiet, and long-term processor for everyday use and gaming.
