The Intel Core i5-14400F has already gone on sale in China, and it’s a processor that hasn’t even been announced yet. This isn’t the only K-series Core Gen 14 processor that isn’t It started selling early In this country we could already confirm at that time that others such as the Intel Core i3-14100F met the same fate.

In this case, a buyer who bought an Intel Core i5-14400F before it was released decided to share a performance test, and the data we have confirms what we can imagine that It’s a minor evolution compared to the Intel Core i5-13400Fand that the differences between the two are limited only to the higher operating frequencies of the first, which even has the same number of cores and threads.

The performance test that the Intel Core i5-14400F passed was CPU-Z, and in general the difference with the Intel Core i5-13400F is only 4.9% in single-threaded and 2.1% in multi-threaded. As I said, these performance improvements have been achieved by increasing the operating frequency of this new processor, which is 2.5 GHz in base mode and 4.7 GHz in turbo mode. For comparison purposes, the Intel Core i5-13400F has frequencies of 2.5 GHz and 4.6 GHz in normal and turbo mode.

We don’t have more performance data, but with this result, knowing the final specifications of the Intel Core i5-14400F, we have everything we need to get an idea of ​​what we can expect from this CPU in other types of tests, generally very little improvement. Obviously, for those with an Intel Core i5-12400F or higher, this Intel Core i5-14400F won’t be an interesting upgrade option, but it might be for those coming from a lower chip. such as the Intel Core i3-13100F.

Intel Core i5-14400F Final Specifications

Intel is expected to introduce non-K Core Gen 14 at CES 2024, and that its launch will take place a few weeks after that. We don’t have a specific date yet, but the whole family should be officially on the market before the end of the first quarter of next year.
