With a retail price of around $160, the Core i5-10400F is priced very competitively. It's a little bit cheaper than the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 ($170) and much more affordable than the Ryzen 5 3600X ($205). If you spend most of your time waiting for highly threaded application results, like rendering, a Ryzen will be a slightly better choice.
