This is the most value for money GAMING processor currently available! It is known that Intel is more gaming friendly than AMD, and this is evident in practice as it produces more FPS than a RYZEN 2700X! Well, you read it right, and if you don't believe it, check out these 2 videos as proof before saying that what I'm saying is impossible.

It is also about 3-5% worse than the new Ryzen 5 3600. I still believe that if you are ONLY interested in gaming, the price difference is not worth it.
I am strictly talking about gaming at the moment as that's how I use it. Of course, it cannot handle multitasking since the 6 cores are sufficient. Just keep in mind that it does not have integrated graphics and cannot work without a graphics card.
P.S. Since it can handle a GTX 1080ti and RTX 2080, I believe that for the next 5 years, you won't need to upgrade your processor in your PC. Also, keep in mind that you will need an aftermarket cooler because it reaches 4.1 GHz and with the stock cooler, it reaches 70 degrees. I installed a CoolerMaster Hyper TX3i for under 20 euros and didn't see temperatures above 55 degrees in stress tests.
edit:
For those who still don't believe it, in another video, a YouTuber has done a very serious and detailed analysis of these 2 processors, with the 3600 dominating in rendering, workstation usage, and streaming. BUT in gaming, after testing in 10 different titles, it has been proven that the 9400f is ahead by 6.7% in FPS when both processors are combined with a 2080ti! Even if you believe that because the 3600 can be overclocked, the difference will decrease, you are wrong, as with an overclock to 4.2 GHz on all cores (don't be confused by AMD's boost to 4.2 GHz! The 3600 does boost to 4.2 GHz on one core, not all!), the difference in game FPS compared to stock is minimal! All of the above is shown in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vCfYaK8Fn4. There are other videos that you can watch that have been uploaded by other users in the comments, WITHOUT the results being complete, just posting the FPS that the 3600 surpasses. Completely misleading!!
At the moment, the price difference is 50 euros, I will say it again, if you are ONLY interested in gaming (of course, for everyday use, there is no difference between them), without streaming, etc., I don't believe the difference is worth it, especially when one surpasses the other. Okay, I will say that there is a difference in FPS in lows-very lows in games that require many cores, for example, Assassin's Creed, but it is very specific. I am referring to the overall performance of the two in terms of average FPS.
