The Intel Core i5-13400 is a top modern and fast desktop processor and belongs to the current Raptor Lake series. The processor was introduced early 2023 and offers a base clock of 2.5 GHz. It reaches up to 4.6 GHz in Turbo mode. As with Alder Lake-S, Raptor Lake-S is also based on a hybrid design that combines P and E cores. The Intel Core i5-13400 therefore offers 6 P-cores and 4 E-cores, which can process a total of up to 16 threads in parallel. The processor continues to be manufactured using the 10 nm production process (called "Intel 7"). The Intel Core i5-13400 does not have a freely selectable multiplier. The LGA 1700 socket introduced with the Alder Lake series serves as the basis. The Intel Core i5-13400 can be based on either a Raptor Lake or Alder Lake chip. Initially, however, Alder Lake chips will be supplied.
Performance
Compared to the Intel Core i5-12400, the IPC of the new Core i5-13400 has been increased slightly. Nevertheless, there are now also 4 e-cores, which support the processor in terms of multi-thread performance. This puts the Intel Core i5-13400 at the level of an Intel Core i5-12600K, which also offers a total of 16 threads.
Graphics unit
The Intel Core i5-13400 is a processor with an integrated graphics unit, but it is only suited for office use or very old and low demanding games.
Power consumption
The TDP of the Intel Core i5-13400 is 65 watts in PL1. Intel defines the PL2 limit at 148 watts. If the restrictions regarding power consumption are deactivated in the BIOS, the PL2 value can be reached permanently. However, a high-quality and powerful cooling unit should be used for this.
The AMD Ryzen 9 79 00 is a high-end desktop processorfrom the Raphael series with 12 cores and hyperthreading (SMT), which means it can process up to 24 threads simultaneously. Launched in early 2023, the Ryzen 9 7900 is the fastest 12-core processor with 65 watts TDP.
The Ryzen 9 7900 clocks at 3.7 GHz base clock and reaches up to 5.4 GHz on one core in Turbo mode. This is also the difference to the higher clocked Ryzen 9 7900X.
At first glance, the internal structure of the processor has not changed fundamentally. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 is still based on the chiplet design consisting of two CCD clusters, each containing a CCX with 8 cores. However, the manufacturing process has been scaled down to 5 nm, which ensures higher clock rates. There is also the IO die, which contains the memory controller and the iGPU, among other things. This is now manufactured in a 6 nm structure width.
The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 can impress in games thanks to the significantly improved IPC.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is a fast high-end desktop processor of the Raphael series. It offers 8 cores based on the Zen 4 architecture that supports hyperthreading (16 threads). The cores clock from 4.5 (base) up to 5.4 GHz (single core boost). Compared to the faster Ryzen 9 CPUs (like the 7900X), the R7 offers less cores and slightly lower clock speeds.
The performance of the R7 7700X is clearly better than the old Ryzen 7 of the 5000 generation thanks to the improved architecture and modern 5nm process. Compared to Intels Alder Lake Core i7-12900K the performance is quite similar but stays behind the newer Rocket Lake i5-13600K (multi-threaded).
The Raphael series still uses a chiplet design with two CCD-clusters (each with 8 possible cores, so only one used for the 7700X) in 5nm and an IO-die (including the memory controller and the Radeon Graphics iGPU) in 6nm.
