Intel Core i5-11400F

6C/12T · 4.4 GHz · 65 W

The Core i5-11400F is a six-core Rocket Lake desktop processor launched on March 16, 2021, and a popular budget gaming choice thanks to its low price. Its Cypress Cove cores are a version of the 10 nm Sunny Cove design back-ported to Intel's 14 nm process, bringing AVX-512 and PCI Express 4.0 to the LGA1200 platform. The F suffix means it has no integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required.

Notes: Microsoft lists 11th Gen Intel Core processors as supported for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2, and Windows 10 is supported as well. Microsoft has not published a separate processor list for Windows 11 26H2, so the 25H2 status is carried over. Mainstream Linux distributions and ChromeOS Flex are supported. A discrete graphics card is required because the processor has no integrated graphics.
