The Core i5-2400 is a nominally 3.1GHz CPU that can boost up to 3.4GHz if only one core is in use – this rarely occurs, as Windows shuffles even single-threaded applications from one core to another to keep a multi-core CPU responsive.
However, the way that the i5-2400 spent most of its time at 3.2GHz or 3.3GHz led to a solid overall score of 1,850 in Media Benchmarks. This is faster than a stock-speed Core i7-950 by roughly 100 points, and faster than AMD’s X6 1100T BE by more than 400 points. Gaming performance wasn’t quite as stellar as it was with the other Sandy Bridge CPUs, though, with Crysis dipping to a minimum of 29fps – of the CPUs we tested for this review, only the X6 1100T BE was slower. The i5-2400 was resurgent in X3, however, where it outperformed the i7-980X.
As expected, the power draw of system with the i5-2400 installed was remarkably low, with only 75W being sucked from the wall at idle and 142W when it was under full load.
