Product overview
Released on April 30, 2020, the Core i5-10400F is a 10th‑Gen “Comet Lake” desktop CPU with 6 cores/12 threads, 2.9 GHz base and up to 4.3 GHz turbo, and 12 MB L3 cache. It fits the LGA1200 platform (Intel 400‑series chipsets), using DDR4‑2666 and PCIe 3.0.

Positioned as a mainstream i5, it exists to deliver affordable gaming and productivity when paired with a discrete GPU; the F‑suffix omits integrated graphics to lower cost. It’s a good match for 1080p gaming, streaming, office/productivity, and budget builds. Unique note: this model lacks an iGPU (F‑suffix) and has a locked multiplier. Intel has discontinued the i5‑10400F line; last orders were accepted January 24, 2025 with final shipments by July 25, 2025.
