Hey guys,

I was just wondering if anyone could explain why the i5 6400 is clocked sooo low?? At 2.7 Ghz!?!!!? I had previously owned the i5 4460 and it was clocked higher. I want to make the move to skylake but that cpu is clocked very low.

Thanks

So do you guys think i'll experience any slowdown from this cpu? I play a lot of Starcraft 2, very cpu intensive. Id think this is kind of a downgrade from a 4460 since it runs at 3.2ghz or are the individual cores in this cpu stronger?

Possibly, might consider the 6500 - also what DRAM are you running and what do you plan to run?
