Description

The i5-13400 is designed to deliver strong performance for everyday computing, gaming, and light content creation without going into the premium price or power consumption of the high-end CPUs. Thanks to its hybrid core architecture (Performance-cores + Efficient‐cores), it handles single-threaded workloads well (e.g. gaming) and also manages background / multitasking work efficiently. It supports modern features like PCIe 5.0, dual-channel DDR4 or DDR5 memory, and has integrated graphics good enough for desktop use or casual gaming (not high performance gaming). It strikes a balance: decent turbo clocks when needed, moderate power draw in base conditions, and fairly future-proof for many users unless you’re pushing for high refresh-rate gaming at 1440p+ or heavy multi-GPU / workstation tasks. ⚙️ Full Specifications Spec Detail Architecture & Generation Raptor Lake (13th Gen Intel Core) Intel Cores / Threads 10 cores total: 6 Performance-cores + 4 Efficient-cores → 16 threads Intel +1 Base Frequencies P-core base: 2.50 GHz; E-core base: 1.80 GHz Intel Max Turbo Frequencies P-cores: 4.60 GHz; E-cores: up to 3.30 GHz Intel Cache Intel Smart Cache (L3): 20 MB; Total L2 cache: 9.5 MB Intel Power Processor Base Power: 65 W; Maximum Turbo / Boost Power: 148 W Intel +1 Memory Support Dual-channel; supports DDR4-3200 and DDR5-4800 Intel +1 Integrated Graphics Intel UHD Graphics 730; base graphics frequency ~ 300 MHz, max ~ 1.55 GHz dynamic when needed Intel +1 PCIe / Expansion PCIe 5.0 & PCIe 4.0 support; up to 20 PCIe lanes for GPU / NVMe etc. Intel Socket FCLGA1700 (compatible with 600 and 700-series Intel chipsets) Intel +1 Max Memory Up to 192 GB (depends on memory type and motherboard) Intel Operating / Thermal Max junction temperature ~100 °C; good cooling is beneficial especially under load Intel
