MB L2 cache per P-core, and only 2 MB L2 cache per E-core cluster, but the same 24 MB shared L3 cache size as the first kind.Intel® Clear Video HD Technology adds video quality enhancements for richer color and more realistic skin tones. Intel may make changes to manufacturing life cycle, specifications, and product descriptions at any time, without notice.

You'll understand why once you read these specs: A 10-core processor made up of six Performance-cores (P-cores) and four Efficient-cores (E-cores), the Core i5 13400F has a total of 16 threads.The Core i5 13400F doesn't support BCLK overclocking, however, and that was something we absolutely adored about the Core i5 12400. The deltas in these charts can be slim, and large deltas in individual game titles, like with the 5800X3D, impact cumulative measurements.

That's a pretty slim delta, though, considering the 13400's lower pricing and big improvements in productivity applications. Generation Intel Core desktop processors delivers broad spectrum support to enable you to personalise and optimise your system to suit your needs using the latest gaming technologies. The 13400's four e-cores provide extra horsepower that helps with streaming — programs like OBS are designed to take advantage — and the additional cores don't add too much power consumption. Works great with a dual fan 4070 in small SFF builds where you have limited cooler clearance height.The Intel Core i5-13400 is a top modern and fast desktop processor and belongs to the current Raptor Lake series. This title also makes good use of the e-cores, thus delivering a more substantial lead over the previous-gen Core i5-12400. Gen Intel® Core™ processors deliver highly flexible architecture and industry-leading tools for the ultimate in performance customization. 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. Far Cry 6 is very memory latency-sensitive, and here we can see that the DDR4 Core i5-13400 config in Gear 1 exceeds the DDR5 memory, which runs in the higher-latency Gear 2 mode, despite DDR5's throughput advantage.

We ran Prime95 first, but be aware that this stress test serves as a power virus more than an actual representation of most threaded work; real-world apps simply do not consume as much power or generate as much heat. Thermal Monitoring Technologies protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure through several thermal management features. All configurations with overclocked memory also have tuned core frequencies and/or lifted power limits. Processor Base Power (previously: PL1 or TDP) can now be considered to be the time-averaged sustained power draw in non-Turbo mode.
