As far as the Rocket Lake generation is concerned, so far there has been talk of high-end eight-core models such as the Core i9-11900K (up to 5.3 GHz) and the Core i7-11700K (up to 5.0 GHz). But then it should be about 100 MHz slower Core i7-11700, then six-core Core i5-11600K for higher mainstream, Core i5-11600 for medium mainstream and finally the lowest of the six-core, Core i5-11400. This is what he will be talking about.
The six-core and twelve-threaded model appeared in the GeekBench test, where it ran at a basic clock of 2.6 and a boost of 4.4 GHz. The boost of all cores can reach up to 4.2 GHz. The traditional TDP of the four-hundred model is 65 watts and can be expected to be no different here.
GeekBench 5

The new Core i5-11400 comes out 9% faster than its direct predecessor Core i5-10400 and 34% faster than the previous Core i5-9400 (but it did not have active HT, it only worked with six threads).
graph-12
Single-core, the novelty is 12% above the direct predecessor and 17% above the previous generation.
Overall, the performance can be compared to the Core i7-8700K, which, however, cost 2 times more. Although $ 359 was an unusually favorable price at the time of its release, Intel had to respond to low Riesen prices), but it is still the most expensive six-core standard for a standard desktop. The Core i5-11400 could cost (similar to the Core i5-10400 or Core i5-9400) $ 182.
In terms of price / performance ratio, this would not be bad. On the other hand, it should not be forgotten that the Ryzen 5 3600 achieves a similar (on average slightly higher) performance, has an unlocked multiplier and has been available for several months at prices under $ 170 over the summer. A customer who was interested in this performance could have purchased it more than half a year ago and at a more favorable price. From the perspective of the user buying in 2021, however, the prices are different and they will probably pay $ 17 for the benefits of Ryzen (unless the price falls by the March issue Rocket Lake).
