Intel 14400 Core i5 Desktop Processor 4.7 GHz

Name: Intel 14400 Core i5 Desktop Processor 4.7 GHz
Brand: Intel
SKU: 14400

Overview

The Intel Core i5-14400 is a 14th generation desktop processor built on Intel's performance hybrid architecture, combining 6 high-performance P-cores with 4 energy-efficient E-cores for a total of 10 cores and 16 threads. This design allows the processor to intelligently distribute workloads, directing demanding tasks like gaming and content creation to the P-cores while routing background processes to the E-cores. With a maximum turbo frequency of 4.7 GHz and 20MB of cache, the i5-14400 delivers responsive performance across a range of applications from AAA gaming to video editing and software compilation.

Practical considerations make the i5-14400 an appealing choice for system builders. The 65W base power rating means it runs cool enough that the included Intel Laminar RM1 cooler handles thermal management without requiring an aftermarket solution. Support for both PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 ensures compatibility with the latest graphics cards and NVMe storage, while Intel UHD Graphics 730 provides a fallback display output for troubleshooting or basic desktop use. The LGA1700 socket works natively with 700-series chipset motherboards and remains backward compatible with 600-series boards through a BIOS update, giving builders flexibility in their platform choice and potential upgrade paths.
