The Intel Core i5-6400 is a quad-core desktop processor released in 2015, based on the Skylake microarchitecture.
The Intel Core i5-6400 is a quad-core, four-thread desktop processor from the Skylake generation, built on a 14 nm process. It features a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 3.30 GHz, with 6 MB of L3 cache. The processor has a TDP of 65 W and uses the FCLGA1151 socket. It supports dual-channel DDR4-1866/2133 or DDR3L-1333/1600 memory at 1.35V, but does not support ECC memory. Integrated graphics are provided by Intel HD Graphics 530. The CPU offers 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes and includes instruction sets such as SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and AVX2. The multiplier is locked, preventing overclocking.
