Intel Core i5-10400T Desktop Processor (12M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz)

The Intel Core i5-10400T is built for compact PC builders, HTPC enthusiasts, home office users, and enterprise IT administrators deploying small form factor or thermally constrained desktop systems where power efficiency, quiet operation, and capable six-core everyday performance are the priorities. It is well-suited for mini-ITX and SFF builds, home theatre PCs, always-on home and office desktops, low-noise computing environments, and corporate deployments requiring dependable Comet Lake platform performance at reduced thermal output.

The Core i5-10400T features 6 cores and 12 threads with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology for smooth multitasking across everyday productivity, multimedia, and office workloads. Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 dynamically raises clock speeds up to 3.60GHz on demand, while the processor returns to its efficient 2.00GHz base in low-load scenarios for minimal power draw. The configurable 25W TDP-down mode at 1.30GHz base enables deployment in extremely thermally constrained compact chassis and passively cooled systems. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 with up to 1.10GHz dynamic frequency supports up to 3 simultaneous displays, 4K@60Hz via DisplayPort, 4K@30Hz via HDMI, hardware-accelerated Intel Quick Sync Video for fast media encoding and decoding, DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5, and Intel Clear Video HD Technology for exceptional video playback quality — eliminating the need for a discrete GPU in everyday and multimedia builds. DDR4-2666 dual-channel memory support up to 128GB with 41.6 GB/s max bandwidth ensures responsive multitasking. PCIe 3.0 with up to 16 lanes supports discrete GPU and NVMe SSD expansion. Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x and VT-d) enables enterprise virtualization and containerized workloads.
