The new Core i5-11400F is marginally faster than the 10400F for gaming, but often much faster for productivity tasks with margins as large as 25% in certain tasks. For gamers, the 11400F isn’t exactly a crazy good deal, at around $20 more than the 10400F, it’s an insignificant cost increase and you can pair it with all the same motherboards, so we feel for the upgraded features alone the premium is worth it.

Su bajo coste también significa que es el 6C/12T más ajustado en rendimiento puro, y no tiene nada que hacer contra el Ryzen 5 5600X como es obvio, y también se queda un poco lejos del 11600K debido a sus inferiores frecuencias. Esto favorece al consumo y a las temperaturas, y con un disipador de 20 euros o menos iremos bastante sobrados para montar un Mini PC para tareas generales e incluso un PC ITX gaming ocupando poco espacio.

To say Intel's 11th generation launch has gone overly well for them would be, well, a bare faced lie. Their higher end options, namely the i9 11900K, runs exceedingly hot and offers little in the way of an advantage over the last generation of Intel's...
Not bad, not bad at all eh? Subjectively speaking, this might be the best processor in the RKL range when you factor in the game performance versus price. You can purchase 6-cores for 26 USD per core. Granted the processor (MSRP $157) at reference...
The Core i5-11400F definitely has enough gaming horsepower to feed any graphics card—the RTX 3080 ran great in our test system. Especially at higher resolutions are the differences between CPU choices small because games are more and more GPU limited. Given today's insane graphics card prices, every dollar you save on the processor will open up new GPU options for you.
AMD and Intel are the two significant players going strong in the current CPU market. While Intel had the undisputed lead throughout the 2010s, the situation might have changed the direction in the past few years. But when the Ryzen CPUs first came out...
