Excellent percent. Cold, productive, the price is quite good. Yes, yes, Amude top and all things, better, cooler and more. I have been using Intel processors since the very first PC and I was 100% satisfied with everything, and now I am completely satisfied. I recommend to buy this pro. Good percent. Productive. For games and work with the same Adobe Premier is very suitable. Didn't notice.  Andrew Intro: use Intel i5-10400F BOX few months |
As far as I remember, I have always used Intel (yes, I have no experience with AMD). I will say as a person who is not engaged in overclocking, I have no complaints about this company and never had it. I took 10400f BOX + RTX3060 and am completely satisfied. And by the way, a boxed cooler will do for the first time! In games (Cyberpunk and RDR2) On ultras, the temperature does not exceed 70! Great processor for the money. The box cooler does a good job! no use Intel i5-10400F BOX less than month |
It was purchased at DNS on sale for 14k and this is a very reasonable price for such a powerful processor Unlocked multiplier and correspondingly high frequency High TDP, but in games and under loads with various programs the temperature does not rise above 80 degrees with a maximum of 100 degrees, even in the stress test from Aida it does not rise above 80! It costs a cheap Gammax for cooling and it is enough; throttling appears only in OCCT in tests. Daemia: use Intel i5-10600KF OEM few months |

It's definitely not a Core i7?
So, what do we have here? Yeah, 6 cores with Hyper-threading enabled (i.e., 12 cores), turbo boost up to 4.8 GHz and a result of almost 30,000 points in the Geekbench 4 benchmark. And for all this they ask for a little less than $ 300. Listen, are we really talking about Core i5 now? Because by all accounts it should be a pretty expensive Core i7. At least that's how it would have been a couple of years ago. But the bitter slaughter with AMD has led to the fact that Intel has lost its status as the king of processors and is now trying to catch up with a competitor, attracting customers with low prices, and not some new developments.
Multithreading and unlocked multiplier
However, as end users, we are only satisfied, because compared to the predecessor Core i5-9600K, the novelty seems to be a huge step forward. The new six-core processor gained support for Hyper-Threading technology and, thanks to this, increased its performance by almost a quarter, falling short of the Core i7-9700K level. However, both then at the time of release, and now, when this article is being written, the direct competitor of the Core i5-10600K is the great and terrible Ryzen 5 3600, which reigns in the middle price segment.
A worthy rival for the Ryzen 5 3600
At the beginning of 2021, both processors are asking for about $300, both are equipped with standard cooling, and both have an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. The Core i5 also has an integrated video core, which explains the nearly $20 difference in price. If you've been following AMD vs. Intel in recent years, the benchmark results will hardly come as a surprise to you: the Ryzen 5 3600 has a slight advantage in many resource-intensive tasks, but it also slightly loses to the six-core Intel when it comes to games. Therefore, we cannot unequivocally recommend “take this here”.
