Intel Core i5-10400 6 Cores 12 Threads 4.3GHz H5 (LGA 1200) BX8070110400 CPU

Enterprise Desktop/Workstation CPU Platform featuring efficient 6C/12T compute with the Intel Core i5-10400 (BX8070110400)

The Intel Core i5-10400 is a 10th Gen Comet Lake processor for LGA1200 single-socket desktop and entry workstation builds where predictable performance, low power draw, and broad platform compatibility matter. With 6 cores and 12 threads at 65W, the Intel Core i5-10400 supports balanced consolidation for office endpoints, light CI tooling, and small virtualization labs without requiring high-end thermal or power provisioning.

For memory planning, the Intel Core i5-10400 supports up to 128GB DDR4 up to 2666MT/s, enabling higher-density configurations for VDI test rigs and multitasking workstations while remaining on a cost-controlled DDR4 stack. Expansion is delivered via PCIe Gen3 with up to 16 CPU lanes, aligning to standard discrete NICs, entry GPUs, or HBA cards; storage is typically delivered through the LGA1200 chipset with SATA and NVMe options, allowing architects to separate OS and data tiers. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 enables basic display output and up to 3 displays, simplifying builds where no discrete GPU is required.

Why Choose the Intel Core i5-10400?

The Intel Core i5-10400 provides a practical density-to-performance profile for standardized fleets and small-scale lab hosts, combining 12-thread scheduling headroom with mature platform behavior. The Intel Core i5-10400 also integrates Intel VT-x/VT-d for hypervisor passthrough design, AES-NI for storage and VPN encryption efficiency, and Boot Guard for platform integrity, supporting reliable deployment in controlled enterprise environments.

Intel engineering prioritizes validated interoperability across chipsets, memory, and firmware ecosystems, helping reduce integration variance in volume rollouts. With the Intel Core i5-10400, IT teams can align on stable LGA1200 lifecycle planning while maintaining compatibility with common management, security, and endpoint standards.
