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

Product Information

However, its lack of integrated graphics (indicated by the “F” in its name) means users must invest in a separate graphics card.

Both CPUs fit perfectly into a range of desktop setups, allowing users to choose a motherboard that aligns with their performance requirements and budget constraints. However, you could run into slightly more throttling if you run a heavy extended-duration heavy workload for an hour or more or have higher ambient temps (our tests were at ~74F ambient). Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) delivers two processing threads per physical core.Intel Core 13 Generation i5-13400 Desktop Processor (10 Core (6 P-Core + 4 E-Core), 20 MB Cache, up to 4. Flipping over to the 1440p charts shows us that higher resolutions are often the great equalizer that levels the playing field for chips with similar accommodations. 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’s new performance hybrid architecture will push your gameplay beyond performance and into your most immersive experience yet.

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"). The time-averaged power dissipation that the processor is validated to not exceed during manufacturing while executing an Intel-specified high complexity workload at Base Frequency and at the junction temperature as specified in the Datasheet for the SKU segment and configuration. This selection of tests runs the gamut from the exceedingly branchy code in the LLVM compilation workload to the massively parallel molecular dynamics simulation code in NAMD to encryption and compression/decompression performance. 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.It extends Intel AVX-512 with a new Vector Neural Network Instruction (VNNI) that significantly increases deep learning inference performance over previous generations. If this really is the case, then it opens up the possibility for Intel to harvest older-generation 8P+8E "Alder Lake" silicon to carve out mid-tier products in the 13th Generation, which is what the Core i5-13400F from this review appears to be, at least specs-wise.
