  • 6-core Rocket Lake architecture handles modern games and multitasking
  • 12 MB Smart Cache keeps data close for snappy response
  • Turbo Boost 2.0 pushes clocks up to 4.4 GHz when needed
  • 65 W TDP keeps thermals manageable in compact builds
  • Works with 400 and 500 series motherboards on LGA1200

11th Gen Core i5 with 6 cores

The Intel Core i5-11400F is a desktop processor built on the 14nm Rocket Lake architecture. It delivers six cores and a 65W TDP for mainstream computing and gaming. A discrete graphics card is required because the chip lacks integrated graphics.

Suits mid-range builds on LGA1200

This CPU fits builders using 400 or 500 series motherboards with DDR4 memory up to 3200 MT/s. It is not suited for systems that need integrated graphics or for platforms outside the LGA1200 socket.

12MB Smart Cache and 4.4 GHz boost

The processor offers 12MB of Intel Smart Cache and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.4 GHz via Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. These figures define its peak single-thread and multi-thread capacity.

Questions about this item

Does the Intel Core i5-11400F OEM package include a cooler, or must I buy one separately?

The OEM processor is sold without a cooling device; a compatible LGA1200 cooler must be purchased separately.

Should I choose DDR4-3200 or DDR4-2933 memory for the i5-11400F?

Both speeds are officially supported; DDR4-3200 provides higher bandwidth when the motherboard and memory kit allow it.

What does the 4.4 GHz turbo figure mean for everyday gaming performance?

The processor can reach 4.4 GHz on active cores under load, delivering higher frame rates in games when paired with a discrete graphics card.
