Pentium Gold G5400 Details

With a single-core score of 5337 and a multicore score of 4736, the Intel Pentium Gold G5400 stands as a modest performer in the broader CPU landscape as of early 2026. Launched in April 2018, this processor is built on Intel's Coffee Lake architecture and uses a 14 nm process node, reflecting a generation of technology now more than seven years old. Despite its age, the G5400 remains relevant in entry-level desktop systems due to its integrated UHD Graphics 610 and low TDP of 54 W, making it a suitable choice for basic productivity and media consumption tasks.

The G5400 features two physical cores with Hyper-Threading enabled, delivering four logical threads. It operates at a base frequency of 3.7 GHz and supports Intel's Enhanced SpeedStep technology for power efficiency. The processor includes 4 MB of L3 cache, 0.5 MB of L2 cache, and 0.125 MB of L1 cache, with support for DDR4-2400 memory across a dual-channel interface. Its memory bandwidth reaches up to 38.4 GB/s, and it connects via a DMI 3.0 bus operating at 8000 MT/s. The processor is packaged in FCLGA-1151 and is compatible with 300-series chipsets.

Integrated graphics play a significant role in the G5400’s appeal. The UHD Graphics 610 GPU operates at a base frequency of 350 MHz and can boost to 1050 MHz, supporting up to three displays and capable of handling light gaming and video playback. While not designed for demanding applications, this integrated solution eliminates the need for a discrete GPU in budget systems.

In benchmark testing, the G5400 scores 5097 overall, placing it at rank #794 among 2060 processors. Its single-core performance ranks #702, indicating it holds up reasonably well in tasks that rely heavily on per-core speed. However, its multicore performance at #923 suggests that it is outpaced by more modern and higher-end processors, particularly those with more cores and higher clock speeds. The processor's closest competitors include the Core i5-7500T and Xeon W3670, while it trails behind the Core i7-2600S and Ryzen Embedded V1605B.

Given its age and modest performance, the Pentium Gold G5400 is best suited for users requiring basic computing capabilities—such as web browsing, office applications, and media playback—without the need for intensive workloads. It remains a cost-effective option for entry-level desktops, especially in environments where integrated graphics and low power consumption are priorities. As of March 2026, it serves as a reliable but outdated solution for lightweight computing tasks.
