    Summary

    That was interesting and even a bit brutal. We have to admit at times we felt we were feeding the 9400F to a woodchipper. Gaming was definitely closer than productivity but even then the Ryzen shined more than its predecessors ever could.Looking exclu...

    With recently seeing a deal on the Intel Core i5 9400F processor, I picked it up for testing as part of our Spectre / Meltdown / Foreshadow / Zombieload testing since it features some hardware mitigations and is otherwise quite similar to the unmitigated...

    Summary

    The Core i5-9400F represents the most iterative updates possible, yet it clings to the mid-range gaming crown. But the -9400F's lack of Hyper-Threading and a locked multiplier allows the Ryzen 5 2600X to rise up as a more attractive option when we look at...

    Pros

    Leading game performance, Discounted price compared to vanilla Core i5-9400, Flimsy bundled cooler is better than nothing,

    Cons

    Disabled graphics, Locked ratio multiplier, Big price-to-performance disadvantage compared to AMD in threaded workloads

    Summary

    When it comes to gaming it's fair to say there's no wrong option here and the Ryzen 5 2600X and Core i5-9400F are evenly matched. The 9400F is at times faster thanks to better game support and lower latencies, but the 2600X is often able to ensure smoothe...
