Product overview

Released in Q2 2020 (announced April 30, 2020), Intel’s Core i5‑10400 is a 10th‑Gen Comet Lake desktop chip for the LGA1200 platform. It packs 6 cores and 12 threads at 2.9 GHz base and up to 4.3 GHz turbo, with Intel UHD Graphics 630 onboard. It pairs with 400‑series motherboards and uses DDR4‑2666. Intel now lists it as retired/discontinued.

Positioned as a mainstream i5, it exists to deliver a balanced, affordable 6‑core option with an iGPU for builds that don’t need overclocking. It’s well‑suited to 1080p gaming, office/productivity, streaming, and entry‑level video editing. Unique note: the boxed SKU includes a bundled cooler.
