The Intel Core i5-9400 is a mainstream desktop processor from the 9th Generation (Coffee Lake Refresh) family. It is a well-rounded CPU featuring 6 physical cores, providing solid performance for everyday computing, office tasks, and gaming. Unlike its "K-series" counterparts, it has a locked multiplier, meaning overclocking is not supported. Its balanced performance and power efficiency, thanks to the 65W TDP, make it an excellent choice for office builds, home theaters, and mainstream gaming systems where reliability and value are key.
