What the Pentium Gold G5400T is
The Pentium Gold G5400T adds Hyper-Threading to low power dual cores. It launched in April 2018 with a fixed 3.1 GHz and no Turbo at 35 W. Intel targets small towers that need four threads with minimal heat.
Four megabytes of cache support office multitasking across four threads. The fixed clock keeps behavior steady for shared PCs. Hyper-Threading doubles thread slots versus Celeron at the same power.
UHD Graphics 610 from 350 MHz to 1050 MHz cover office displays. The process is 14 nm. ECC memory is supported where boards wire it, unlike some database entries that say otherwise, and this page uses Intel Yes.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The G5400T fits LGA 1151 on revision 2 boards only. H310 small towers pair it with DDR4 for quiet offices. Early Z370 may need a BIOS update. Revision 1 never works.
DDR4-2400 in two channels up to 64 GB per Intel suits four thread offices. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide details revisions.
Single socket compact towers are the home. Another 300 series Pentium on the same board adds speed.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4-2400 in two channels up to 64 GB with SSDs gives smooth multitasking. Start with 8 GB where many tabs stay open.
Sixteen Gen3 lanes can hold NVMe while integrated graphics drive monitors. Most small towers skip discrete cards.
35 W low profile cooling from the CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide stays quiet.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket, the Intel Celeron G4900T drops Hyper-Threading at the same 35 W for cheaper terminals. The Pentium Gold G5500T raises clocks at the same 35 W where listed. Both share 300 series boards.
Core i3 parts add cache and Turbo for heavier multitasking.
Past LGA 1151 low power offices move to LGA 1200. The G5400T covers threaded small towers where 35 W must hold.
