Since Coffee Lake-S is becoming more and more a digital launch and the hardware is not really available in quantities, we could actually take our time. The new Intel Core i5-8400K, like the rest of the family, is also... In the AI test of Civilization IV, all CPUs again position themselves exactly as one might expect from the technical data.
In the Time Spy CPU test, AMD's Ryzen 5 1600X is very positive, which is well ahead of the new C... At this benchmark, the Core i5-8400 is slightly behind the Ryzen 5 1600X, but ahead of the overclocked Ryzen 5 1500X. The Ryzen 5 1400 and the older Core i5, on the other hand, do not matter.
Individual results of all maps
Both Core i5 slate up to about 140 FPS, but are already scratching at the GPU limit. The (overclocked) Ryzen 5 1600X can still keep up, the rest then drops continuously.
Individual results of all maps
AMD is ahead with the Ryzen 5 1600X, rare enough, but even quite clear. The overclocked Ryzen 5 1500X can also be cleared.

Clock is everything, at least for the Ryzen 5, because you can only hold the connection if the processor has been overclocked properly. But that's exactly what Ryzen 5 includes, you just have to do it. The Core i5 8400 is exceptionally fast... Intel ahead of AMD and only the overclocked Ryzen 5 can hold port. Without extra clock, however, nothing can be done. The Core i5-8400 cuts a good figure and the Ryzen 5 1400 is a total failure without overclocking.

... Intel again ahead of AMD, but the overclocked Ryzen 5 can hold port and place themselves in front of the older Core i5. The Ryzen 5 1400 is once again the clear final light without overclocking.
Individual results of all maps
Intel as usual before AMD, but this time much clearer. The overtaken Ryzen 5 can't hold on, but they're still ahead of the older Core i5. The Ryzen 5 15600X also makes it unbeatable in front of the older Core i5-7600K and the... Finally, Intel's Parade(at) game. AMD's Ryzen 5 must completely stroke the sails, the GTA scales extremely modestly with the number of possible threads. Even the older Core i5-7600K with the overclocked Ryzen 5 1600X can hold with you... Important preliminary remark on CPU selection and overclocking
Contrary to our usual handling, not benchmarking the productive areas with overclocked CPUs, as it is also rather unlikely in reality, this time we have two of the R... 2D Performance
In order to better understand some of the later results, we are putting forward a good old acquaintance. With our GDI/GDI+ benchmark, we are first testing two different output methods for 2D objects, how to... CPU Performance: Workstation
Of course, in the production area, not only the 3D graphics performance is important in the production area for the just-set applications, because many things are calculated by the CPU in parallel within these applications (Simu... Power consumption in detail
There are no really dramatic differences in the Idle. Nothing really dramatic and all the other CPUs are still within the limits of what we were able to measure before. The fact that the Ryzen 5 is partly Summary

Summary
As with the slightly more expensive Core i5-8600K, the Same applies to the Core i5-8400: Two cores more for the middle class are a nice addition. But whether they will really be sufficient in the near future remains to be seen. Because with hyper-threading disabled, it's actually only a matter of time before the software catches up with the hardware again. Some of the compute benchmarks are particularly clear that this can be a disadvantage. So where can you really rate the Core i5-8400?
It is definitely a solid mid-range CPU, but with a penchant for higher. In places, the Core i5-8400 can even compete with the more expensive Core i5-8600K, as long as you don't use the open multiplier. AMD's Ryzen 5 1600X overclocks an acceptable figure and can often keep up and even pass in the production range from time to time. This usually no longer applies to the Ryzen 5 1500X and also the Ryzen 5 1400 plays here rather in the circle class and no longer in the second division.
Conclusion
We have been fighting with us for a long time to reward a paper digital launch with an award. However, since soon delivery dates have been reported, it has become a buying tip for all those who are supposed to give 6 cores a little more future security when playing and who can do without hyper-threading due to lack of suitable software.
The Core i5-8400 is a good compromise to the Core i5-8600K, if you can or want to do without an open multiplier, no question. But whether you will be able to do without HT in the long run must be proven by the future. If so, the Core i5-8400 is also hopeful of a longer stay in the PC. At least he would have what it takes.
