The Intel Core i5-13400 processor is up to 29% faster than the i5-12400 in new performance tests using the Cinebench R23 tool.
Intel Core i5-13400: 29% faster than the i5-12400 in Cinebench R23 in multithreaded mode
JAWARA media has launched both the new CPU and BIOS for the ASRock B660M PG Riptide motherboard, which offers support for Raptor Lake processors of this type. This board supports memory up to DDR4-3600, and the same board was used to test both Core i5-13400 and i5-12400 processors.
This is the first performance comparison with this processor, which has 10 cores and 16 threads, consisting of about 6 P-core and 4 E-core performance cores. Meanwhile, the boost clock reaches 4.6 GHz, always with a TDP consumption of 65 W.
The single-thread performance improvement is a bit understated, as it only increases by 5% for the Raptor Lake CPU, but the real improvement comes from the multi-thread performance, where the improvement is 29%. The processor consumes 20 watts more than the Alder Lake processor and the temperature only increases by 1 degree, which isn’t bad for the improved core count. While the TDP is 65W, the power should reach around 117W at maximum load.
Apparently, this processor is already making the rounds at Asian retailers, and many publications are offering it along with a motherboard, as support for this processor is not that widespread among motherboard manufacturers yet. It turns out that the improvement in IPC performance between Alder Lake and Raptor Lake is not that noticeable, so increasing the number of cores was the way to make a difference in performance. We will keep you updated on any new developments.
