While Intel is pretty transparent that the E-core architecture for both "Alder Lake" and "Raptor Lake" is the same "Gracemont" core architecture; things get a little vague with the P-cores. However, enforcing the power limits with the boxed cooler produces roughly 5% less performance in multi-threaded work. This title also makes good use of the e-cores, thus delivering a more substantial lead over the previous-gen Core i5-12400. Both chips are evenly matched in single-threaded productivity applications, but the Core i5-13400 with DDR4 and DDR5 is 5.

In conclusion, while the Core i5 13400F presents a lower upfront cost, the Core i5 13400’s integrated graphics offer a more complete package for immediate use. As before, the LGA 1700 chip is compatible with 600-series motherboards, and because the chip has a locked multiplier (no overclocking), the B- and H-series motherboards make the most sense for this class of chip. 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.Memory channels: Dual-channel, Maximum internal memory supported by processor: 192 GB, Memory types supported by processor: DDR4-SDRAM, DDR5-SDRAM. This comparison is particularly relevant for users looking to build or upgrade their PCs, as understanding the subtle, yet significant differences between these CPUs can greatly impact the overall system performance and suitability for specific tasks.

This integrated GPU capability makes the 13400 a more complete package straight out of the box, capable of handling general computing tasks, office work, and light content creation. However, the last few percent of gaming performance from DDR5 overclocking is ridiculously expensive. Today we have for review the Intel Core i5-13400F—a processor that could end up being Intel's best selling desktop product from this generation, given the market domination of its predecessors. Maximum supported memory speed may be lower when populating multiple DIMMs per channel on products that support multiple memory channels. 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.When paired with a DDR4 motherboard the 13100F/13400F CPUs (at MSRP) offer unbeatable/good value to entry/mid level PC gamers.
