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

Product Information

The Core i5 13400 includes Intel’s UHD Graphics 730, providing basic graphic capabilities suitable for everyday tasks and light gaming.

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. The Core i5-13400 navigates the threaded workloads well, but trails in many of the lightly-threaded encoders. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. High end gamers should investigate the 13600K, which thanks to both higher clocks and higher IPC (Raptor Cove), is around 15% faster than the 13400F.Intel is committed to respecting human rights and avoiding causing or contributing to adverse impacts on human rights. Excellent consistencyThe range of scores (95th - 5th percentile) for the Intel Core i5-13400F is just 7. Equipped with Intel’s UHD Graphics 730, it suits users who require a processor for everyday computing, light content creation, and casual gaming, without the extra cost of a dedicated graphics card. Our sources tell us the SA voltage will be unlocked in the Raptor Lake Refresh models, but you'll be stuck with relatively low DDR4 overclocks for the 13400.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2021 obviously benefits tremendously from L3 cache — the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is simply incredible in this title. The Core i5-13400 is very power efficient in these workloads, largely due to the addition of four e-cores. 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. Intel® GNA is designed to run audio based neural networks at ultra-low power, while simultaneously relieving the CPU of this workload.

To reiterate the point with a broader selection of real-world benchmarks, we ran our standard series of heavily multi-threaded apps like y-cruncher, HandBrake, Cinebench, Blender, and POV-Ray. In contrast, the Core i5 13400F lacks an integrated GPU, necessitating a discrete graphics card for any graphical output.

We’ve already seen how much of an assistance the E-Cores make to the newest Intel processors and so we’re naturally excited to discover if the Intel Core i5-13400 is just as great for gaming as its predecessor was.Nevertheless, there are now also 4 e-cores, which support the processor in terms of multi-thread performance. Graphics max dynamic frequency refers to the maximum opportunistic graphics render clock frequency (in MHz) that can be supported using Intel® HD Graphics with Dynamic Frequency feature. Both chips are evenly matched in single-threaded productivity applications, but the Core i5-13400 with DDR4 and DDR5 is 5.
