Intel® Core™ i5-13400 Desktop Processor 10 cores (6 P-cores + 4 E-cores) 20MB Cache, up to 4.6 GHz

Product Information

In our testing, neither the Core i5 13400F or Ryzen 5 7600X can claim an outright win across the testing suite, though when AMD's chip is faster, it is quite a bit faster. Intel Core i5-13400F, like the rest of the 13th Gen Core desktop processor family, is codenamed "Raptor Lake," but this processor has specs that align closely with the previous-gen "Alder Lake. wapkw=hyper+threading for more information including details on which processors support Intel® HT Technology. To determine the source of the disparity, we re-ran the same tests with the box cooler and no power limits (listed as "Core i5-13400 NoPL Box"). It’s also beneficial to compare these CPUs with their predecessors to understand the improvements and value they bring.

Intel® Thread Director helps monitor and analyze performance data in real-time to seamlessly place the right application thread on the right core and optimize performance per watt. The Intel processor number is just one of several factors—along with processor brand, system configurations, and system-level benchmarks—to be considered when choosing the right processor for your computing needs. Generally, that integrated GPU isn't going to come much in handy for gaming, and even today's cheapest discrete graphics card will outperform it by a country mile. We ship all products in unopened boxes directly as received from our manufacturer in brand new and in perfect condition. You are free to overclock the memory on B-series motherboards, but be aware that the System Agent (SA) voltage is locked, which limits DDR4 memory overclocks in the Gear 1 setting (DDR5 still overclocks well).Intel is committed to respecting human rights and avoiding causing or contributing to adverse impacts on human rights. On-board graphics card model: Intel UHD Graphics 730, On-board graphics card outputs supported: Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) 1. identifies the best performing core(s) on a processor and provides increased performance on those cores through increasing frequency as needed by taking advantage of power and thermal headroom.

Extended Page Tables in Intel® Virtualization Technology platforms reduces the memory and power overhead costs and increases battery life through hardware optimization of page table management. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. With DDR4, we couldn't overclock beyond DDR4-3600 CL16 in Gear 1 (Gear 2 is slow) due to Intel's locked System Agent (SA) voltage. The DDR4 config even leads after stepping up to the relatively tame DDR4-3600 memory overclock, beating the DDR5-6800 config.The final product is the same, regardless of which die is under the hood, but this does mean that you don't see the L2 cache increase that Intel introduced with Raptor Lake on the Core i5 13400F. To maintain a level playing field, we removed the power limits and used our H115i cooler for these tests.

However, the 13400's relatively tame clock speed improvements ensure that it doesn't beat the 12600K, which leads by 7% in both single- and multi-threaded applications.However, removing the power limits while still using the boxed fan brought the performance in threaded apps back up to par with the watercooler. out of the box, a clock speed that wouldn't have seemed out of place on the box of a Core i7 only a few years back. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications.
