Performance:

In single-core tasks, the i5-14400 achieves a Geekbench 5 score of 1,842 points, and in multi-core tasks, it scores 12,551 points.

This performance is comparable to its predecessor, the i5-13400, and is suitable for general computing and gaming at 1080p resolutions. However, it faces competition from AMD’s Ryzen 5 7600 series, which offers similar performance at competitive prices.

Gaming Performance:

The i5-14400 delivers solid gaming performance, handling modern titles at 1080p and 1440p resolutions. Its 4.7 GHz turbo boost frequency ensures smooth gameplay in many scenarios. However, it may lag behind higher-end processors like the i5-14600 in more demanding games.

Power Efficiency:

With a TDP of 65 W, the i5-14400 is energy-efficient, making it suitable for builds where power consumption is a concern. However, some reviews suggest that its power efficiency is slightly lower compared to previous generations.

Overclocking:

The i5-14400 has a locked multiplier, meaning it does not support overclocking. Users seeking higher performance through overclocking should consider other models, such as the i5-14600K.
