Intel Core i5-13400 Processor

The Intel Core i5-13400 is a 13th Generation desktop processor built on Intel’s Raptor Lake architecture and fabricated on the Intel 7 process node. It is designed for the LGA1700 socket platform and is compatible with 600-series and 700-series motherboards, making it a practical upgrade path for existing Alder Lake system owners. The i5-13400 features a hybrid core topology with 6 Performance-cores (P-cores) and 4 Efficient-cores (E-cores), yielding 10 physical cores and 16 threads in total. The P-cores reach a maximum turbo frequency of 4.60 GHz, while E-cores boost up to 3.30 GHz. P-core base frequency is 2.50 GHz and E-core base frequency is 1.80 GHz. Intel Thread Director assists the operating system in intelligently scheduling workloads across both core types for optimal throughput. The processor ships with 20 MB of Intel Smart Cache and 9.5 MB of L2 cache, giving it strong responsiveness across everyday productivity, content creation, and gaming workloads. Processor Base Power (TDP) is 65 W, with a Maximum Turbo Power rating of 148 W. Thermal junction maximum is 100 °C. Integrated graphics are handled by the Intel UHD Graphics 730, featuring 24 Execution Units, a base clock of 300 MHz, and a dynamic maximum frequency of 1.55 GHz. Display output support includes HDMI 2.1 (up to 4096×2160 @ 60 Hz), DisplayPort 1.4a (up to 7680×4320 @ 60 Hz), and eDP 1.4b (up to 5120×3200 @ 120 Hz), with support for up to 4 simultaneous displays. Memory support extends to dual-channel DDR5 at up to 4800 MT/s or DDR4 at up to 3200 MT/s, with a maximum supported capacity of 192 GB across 2 memory channels and peak bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The platform supports PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 with up to 20 PCIe lanes and configurations of up to 1×16+4 or 2×8+4. Notable platform technologies include Intel Hyper-Threading, Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, Intel Speed Shift, Intel Deep Learning Boost (DL Boost), and Intel Gaussian & Neural Accelerator 3.0. Security features include AES-NI, Intel Boot Guard, Control-Flow Enforcement Technology, VT-x, VT-d, and Execute Disable Bit. The processor does not support Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 and is not unlocked for overclocking. A CPU cooler is included in the box. The processor carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
