Intel Core i5-6400 test

The data is obtained from tests of users who have tested their systems with or without overclocking. Thus, you see the average values \u200b\u200bcorresponding to the processor.

Speed \u200b\u200bof numeric operations

Different tasks require different CPU strengths. A system with a low number of fast cores is great for gaming, but will outperform a system with a large number of slow cores in a rendering scenario.

We believe a processor with at least 4 cores / 4 threads is suitable for a budget gaming computer. At the same time, individual games can load it by 100% and slow down, and performing any tasks in the background will lead to a FPS drawdown.

Ideally, the buyer should aim for a minimum of 6/6 or 6/12, but keep in mind that systems with more than 16 threads are currently only applicable for professional tasks.

The data was obtained from tests of users who tested their systems both in overclocking (maximum value in the table) and without (minimum). The typical result is shown in the middle, the color bar indicates the position among all tested systems.

Description of test systems and testing methods

The main purpose of testing is to identify the performance gains that can be obtained from overclocking non-overclocking processors. Therefore, the junior representatives in the Core i5 and i3 lines, the Core i5-6400 and i3-6100 processors, which we took for testing, were tested twice: in the nominal operating mode and at a frequency of 4.7 GHz, which, based on the experience gained, can be considered sufficient typical overclocking mode for Skylake generation CPUs. In addition, a full-fledged K-series overclocking processor, the Core i5-6600K, took part in the tests. Its presence in tests is necessary in order to assess whether the overclocking performance differs between processors intended and not intended for operation in non-standard modes, and if so, how much. We tested the Core i5-6600K twice: both in nominal mode and when overclocked to 4.6 GHz (this is the maximum achievable frequency for our sample with an increase in supply voltage to 1.425 V).

So, overclocking, as we knew it a few years ago - before Intel began producing specialized overclocking processors and blocking the possibility of increasing operating frequencies in other CPUs, is finally returning. It is difficult to say where the solution to the issue of removing the blocking of the frequency of the basic clock generator from all lineup Skylake. Perhaps Intel's protection of BCLK Governor was not so strong and fell under the onslaught of motherboard BIOS developers. But it is also possible that Intel itself pushed them in the right direction, because in the end everyone won: the microprocessor giant, motherboard manufacturers, and users.

Indeed, thanks to the opened overclocking opportunities, buyers have new arguments in favor of switching to the LGA1151 platform. There is no doubt that it will stimulate to a certain extentsales of new processors. Along the way, board manufacturers will also get new customers, which will certainly be able to increase sales of models based on Intel Z170. Users from among enthusiasts will not be left behind. They have not only additional scope for experimentation, but also the opportunity to derive quite obvious financial benefits. After all, now overclocking systems can be assembled from components that are cheaper than before.

But the special piquancy of this whole situation is given by how well everything turned out exactly for Intel. After all, the discovery of the possibility of overclocking any, including non-overclocking, LGA1151 processors could easily have caused a drop in demand for the flagship Skylake models. However, sales of older Skylakes with officially allowed overclocking are safe. The fact is that when overclocking non-K processors, a whole bunch of problems unexpectedly arise, the worst of which is a decrease in the execution speed of AVX / AVX2 instructions. As a result, the performance when working with a number of programs during overclocking not only does not increase, but, on the contrary, decreases. That is, the real benefit from such overclocking can be obtained only in those cases when it comes exclusively to work in applications that do not use the modern capabilities of the processor FPU.

All this means that if we are talking about professional activities for which there is not enough performance of the CPU working in the nominal mode, you can choose, as before, only from the Core i5-6600K or Core i7-6700K. Overclocking non-K processors is actually just for playing around - in both senses of the word. On the one hand, experimenting with overclocking such processors is incredibly interesting, because this is really something new and somewhat forbidden. On the other hand, games are among those applications that AVX / AVX2 instructions (yet?) Do not use.

However, even if you are only interested in games and programs where AVX / AVX2 extensions are not used and will certainly not be used, the overclocking capability that appeared in neo-overclocking Skylake generation processors does not mean at all that you, figuratively speaking, can rewind time and return to the golden age of the Celeron 300A. In the realities of today, it is impossible under any circumstances to increase the performance of a cheap processor to the level of a flagship. After Intel divided its range of consumer processors into classes by the number of cores and the list of supported technologies in the mid-2000s, any "class struggle" is irrevocably a thing of the past. And this was clearly shown by the tests carried out. The younger Core i3-6100 can only pretend to try to reach the speed of the initial Core i5 models during overclocking. And the younger Core i5-6400 can try to compete with the Core i5-6600K, but naturally, he is beyond his powers to aim at the competition with the Core i7-6700K.

Finally on russian market low-cost solutions based on Intel Skylake architecture began to appear. The sixth generation Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i3 based on 14 nm have already gone on sale.

It is a quad-core 14nm Skylake-based processor capable of operating in “ socket socket " LGA 1151 paired with DDR4 and DDR3L dual channel RAM.

We got acquainted with one of the top solutions with an unlocked multiplier in the article about (we also talked about the key innovations and functionality of the chipset there), the turn of the blocked CPUs came, especially since we were surprised by Intel's sudden possibility of refusing to tie the BCLK frequency to the core clock frequency , which made it possible to freely overclock processors with a locked multiplier to significant indicators, but first things first.

At the time of this writing, a second appeared on the network datasheet or technical documentation with detailed information about the sixth generation of Intel processors and the Intel Z170 chipset (in English), we offer a link to the first part.

On hundreds pdf sheets format describes in great detail the schemes of interaction of new processors with components, hardware decoupling, connections; many speed characteristics are also reflected here.

There is a lot of information, the lion's share of the text will be ignored by many, a large amount of numbers is hardly useful for an ordinary user. But, despite this, in our articles we consider it necessary to tell at least about the key features of the new products coming out.

Under load, the Intel Core i5-6400 rarely heats up above 45 degrees, and a BOX cooler or aluminum is enough to remove heat turntables

It is important to remember that the Intel Z170, and with it the sixth generation of Skylake-S processors, is an evolutionary continuation of the Intel Z97 and Haswell architecture. In general, we have already made sure that there are no drastic changes in the performance of solutions in 2015 and 2014, even despite the support for DDR4 memory in a CPU based on 14 nm.

Another vivid confirmation of the above facts is the generally similar form factor of the stones, the ability to work with only one PCI-E x16 port at the appropriate speed (that is, with 16 lanes), as well as generally equal hardware characteristics of comparable processors of different generations.

But it's time to talk in more detail about culprit celebrations, namely the Intel Core i5-6400 CPU. It is a quad-core 14nm Skylake architecture processor capable of running in socket socket LGA 1151 in conjunction with dual-channel DDR4 and DDR3L RAM (it is better not to focus on the latest standard, because there are no sensible motherboards with DDR3L for Skylake yet, and Intel regularly talks about numerous limitations of this format).

There is no Hyper-Threading in Intel Core i5-6400, as in the whole line kore ai five, but there are four physical nuclei to this stone more than enough. The amount of cache memory is 6 MB. Clock frequency - 2700 MHz, in the mode boost - 3300 MHz.

The physical cores of the Intel Core i5-6400 are impressive. In nominal terms, this processor is practically not inferior in performance to the Intel Core i5-6600K operating in normal mode.

Heat dissipation with such characteristics - total 65 watts... We repeatedly threw Intel flattering words about productive work over energy efficiency, apparently, will not do without praise this time.

Intel Core i5-6400 rarely gets hotter under load 45 Degree, and a BOX cooler or aluminum turntables for 500 rubles with a minimum turnover.

The Intel Core i5-6400 has a built-in graphics core called Intel HD Graphics 530. In the article about we expressed disappointment at the inability to properly get acquainted with the integrated graphics (after all, it was in that processor too). The fact was associated with relative novelty and dampness architecture and motherboards on LGA 1151, as well as the lack of the necessary software even on the website of the motherboard manufacturer (in August 2015). This time we managed to test the graphics built into the CPU properly, the drivers finally appeared.

Intel HD Graphics 530 was a pleasant surprise. Hardware specifications are generally similar to figures previous generation (maximum memory size, gnawed off from RAM - 1.7 GB, core frequency - 950 MHz), but the performance in 3D applications has clearly increased.

For the first time we encounter processor graphics to pull games in Full HD resolution (albeit at medium, even close to low, picture quality settings). Evolution in this direction is really noticeable, maybe the day will come when AMD and NVIDIA will abandon the low-end category forever due to its uselessness.

Intel HD Graphics 530 supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.4 (although these technologies have questionable benefits for the integrated core), as well as three displays and a maximum resolution of 4096 × 2304 pixels.

Thus, with the advent of the sixth generation, the Intel Core i5 line becomes even more multimedia and suitable for home use, if the user's interests include only the consumption of high-definition video content, and not editing and processing it. In such a case, it is really possible to do only with the processor, external graphics are actually not needed (of course, there will be exceptions in this case, and far from being isolated ones).

Test stand:

The physical cores of the Intel Core i5-6400 are impressive. In nominal terms, this processor is practically not inferior in performance to the Intel Core i5-6600K operating in normal mode. And all competitors from previous lines of a similar class are not much worse, and not much better. The results are quite expected - as mentioned above, this is a logical substitute (for all formats, including in terms of power) of last year's line, before last and pose before last.

Another thing is interesting. Firstly, the nominal power of the Intel Core i5-6400 is quite enough for modern games, as well as for unlocking the working potential of the most powerful video cards (confirmation of this). We included this CPU in our research article on the study of the gaming potential of modern processors. As a result, the Intel Core i5-6400 demonstrated exactly the same frame / s as the overclocked Intel Core i5-6600K and even, which is formally more powerful and more expensive than today's new product at times.

Secondly, Intel Core i5-6400 finally made it possible to sort out the situation with BCLK and calm down somewhat our joy, which has apparently become illusory, about the real possibility of overclocking locked processors by raising the base bus.

The BCLK experiment was carried out on two motherboards: which proved to be able to operate easily at 150-200 MHz on BCLK, and also on the MSI Z170A GAMING M5, which is not pulled and 110 MHz paired with a test processor (we began to blame the MSI motherboard due to this situation, until we were convinced that the ASUS version was also not capable of fire up Intel Core i5-6400 up to some serious indicators).

The Intel Core i5-6400 multiplier in UEFI is limited to 31 (it's strange how it is possible to reach 3300 MHz in turbo mode, because our copy is simply not capable of operating at a frequency higher than 3100 MHz, simple mathematics), raise clock frequency We have tried BCLK in different ways. The automatic TPU version on the ASUS Z170-A board, which seemed to work flawlessly and one hundred percent, did not help either in the first or in the second mode.

We even give screenshots of all adjustable parameters that have undergone changes (almost all settings, up to the voltage level and memory subsystem options, have been switched to Extreme mode) for overclocking Intel Core i5-6400. Nothing helped.

CPU voltage - 1.305 V, RAM - 1.350 V, auxiliary power functions are activated, boost for digital DIGI +, total - 3180 MHz on Intel Core i5-6400, and that's it.

For the first time we encounter processor graphicswho is able to more or less to pull games in Full HD resolution.

Apparently there are no miracles, and a wide range of regulated BCLK bus is available only to owners of processors with an unlocked multiplier (on the other hand, what's the use if overclocking such CPUs will still be a simpler and more classic way).

There is certainly hope (after all, we have not tested all processors from the sixth series yet), but it is very illusive. The format Intel chose many years ago appears to have survived to this day.

As a result, Intel Core i5-6400, like no other processor, is optimally suited to the needs for which it is focused. This is evidenced primarily by the selling price and performance, two key factors.

Capacities stone quite enough for pumping the most modern single-core graphics cards, as well as for home rendering, editing and for any other work of a consumer nature. In this case, the processor does not heat up at all.

An additional plus is a decent internal video core, which will come in handy if you don't want to install an external video card for one reason or another. With the output of high-definition content and the processing of not the most detailed 3D scenes, Intel HD Graphics 530 can handle it without difficulty.
