Intel Core i3-9100F vs Intel Core i5-13400 vs Intel Core i7-9700

Intel Core i3-9100F

► remove from comparison Intel i3-9100F

The Intel Core i3-9100F is an entry level Quad-Core processor for desktop PCs based on the Coffee Lake architecture. It offers four cores clocked at 3.6 - 4.2 GHz without HyperThreading / SMT support (4 threads only). The CPU is still manufactured in 14nm++ and does not feature an integrated graphics card. 

Compared to the older Core i3-8100, the i3-9100F offers around 10 to 15 percent higher performance. Therefore, the CPU is well suited for simple office tasks but less for high end gaming or demanding applications.

Intel specifies the CPU with a TDP of 65 Watt. For desktops that means that the processor wont need big cooling solutions and can be used in small cases.

Intel Core i5-13400

► remove from comparison Intel i5-13400

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.

Intel Core i7-9700

► remove from comparison Intel i7-9700

The Intel Core i7-9700 is a high end desktop processor based on the Coffee Lake architecture. It integrates 8 cores (no Hyperthreading therefore also 8 threads) clocked at 3 - 4.7 GHz. Compared to the similar named Core i7-9700K, the 9700 has no open multiplicator for easy overclocking, offers lower clock speeds and offers a reduced TDP.

Compared to the old Core i7-8700, the 9700 offers two more real cores but no Hyperthreading. Therefore, the performance gain is not that big - depending on the app. The single core performance was slightly improved thanks to the higher Turbo clocks. As a high end desktop CPU, the i7-9700 is well suited for demanding tasks and gaming.

The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 graphics card is clocked at up to 1.2 GHz and offers no advantage compared to previous generations. As it is a very low end GPU, only some low demanding games like Hearthstone can be played with it (see GPU page for benchmarks).

Intel specifies the TDP at 65 Watt (instead of the 95W of the faster models) and therefore the CPU wont need a high end desktop cooling system.
