Intel core i5 8400 coffee lake review.

The fantastic value core i5 8400 is the gamer s chip from intel s 8th gen coffee lake range which is surprising considering the k series i5 is capable of hitting 5 1ghz without issue. Intel core 7 8700k left and core i5 8400 right the coffee lake based 8th generation core processors use the same lga1151 socket as the 7th generation but they are not interchangeable. Core i5 8400 drops into a lga 1551 interface but as we know from our previous coffee lake reviews it isn t backward compatible with 200 series motherboards.
