The Core i5-9400T 6-Core 1.8GHz is a mid-range CPU based on a refinement of the 14nm++ Coffee Lake microarchitecture. The 'T' suffix indicates this a low-power draw variant.
It offers 6 physical cores (6 logical), initially clocked at 1.8GHz, which may go up to 3.4GHz using 6 cores with Turbo Boost. The i5-9500F has 9MB of L3 Cache. This chip supports up to 128GB DDR-2666 MHz memory and features Intel UHD 630 integrated graphics.
Among its many features, Turbo Boost 2.0, Optane Memory Support, and Virtualization are activated, and its multiplier is not unlocked.
This Core i5-9500T CPU offers average gaming performance and should not be a major bottleneck in any modern gaming PC in 2019. It will be able to play all modern games at 60fps comfortably on ultra graphics performance at any supported resolution without being a hindrance to the accompanying GPU. However, performance may become bottlenecked if playing at 144Hz and 1080p or lower screen resolution.
