The game continues to i7-7700K original i5-8400 so strong!

Since the 8th generation Core Series products listed on the small series has been very concerned about today finally got the i5-8400 processor, under the test Xiaobian really shocked, although Xiaobian in the previous push "new and old CPU are here to see See you out of nowhere? "The table also indicates that the i5-8400 is not as good as the i7-7700K, but today's running results are: game performance catching i7-7700K!

Unbelievable! Game performance catching i7-7700K

Xiaobian's platforms are i5-8400+Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 3+DDR4 2666 and i7-7700K/i5-7400+Gigabyte Z270 Phoenix Gaming+DDR4 2666 (running on DDR4 2400). The graphics card is unified as XFX RX 580 8G. Black Wolf version, pay attention to memory performance i5-8400 with DDR4 2666 certainly better than i7-7700K with DDR4 2400. In addition, when Xiao Bian ran the points, the basic CPU applications were all based on nuclear, rather than being independent.

CPU application test:

Game performance test:

Xiao Bian simply sums it up, compared with the same level of i5-7400 is the i5-8400 alternative products, testing (using nuclear display) half of the results exceeded, especially the multi-threaded performance growth is very alarming.

In the actual game running points (using the RX580 alone significant), i5-8400 actually has a positive comparison i7-7700K strength, this really amazing, is simply the game player's gospel! Moreover, the i5-8400's larger number of cores also provides a certain amount of redundancy for video, live streaming or other back-office applications during the game!

Magic changed 14nm process meritorious service!

We also paid special attention to the power consumption issue while running the points. When using the core display, the standby power consumption is 27W, the power consumption is 60W when tested with full load, and the maximum power consumption is 54W when tested with 3D. ! According to this kind of situation, the TDP thermal power design has a margin of 65W nominal, and the i7-7700K with a 95W thermal power design is a lot lower. This must be praised to change the magic 14nm process technology, and not accept it!

Do not worry i5-8400 also has a price!

The last small series to talk about the price of things, if the performance from the test to see, whether it is multi-core performance or game performance, i5-8400 is very prominent, so the price of a processor in 1699 yuan, and i5- 7400 contrast is indeed more expensive, but to see it has direct comparison with the i7-7700K game performance performance, price is very prominent.

Of course there will be a small partner to raise the price of the motherboard is more expensive, Xiao Bian looked, the lowest price of an East i5-8400 motherboard set is 2399 yuan, the price is still quite outstanding, the basic is the price of an i7-7700K.

For Xiao Bian, low power consumption, excellent game performance, superior multi-core performance, this processor is a very reasonable choice, especially the 2399 yuan package makes a lot of cost-effective upgrade. To be honest, Xiao Bian did not expect it before the test, and the 8th generation Core Duo can have such an amazing performance!
