Intel Core i5-13400F vs Intel Core i5-13450HX vs Intel Core i5-13400

Intel Core i5-13400F

► remove from comparison Intel i5-13400F

The Intel Core i5-13400F is a mid-range desktop processor of the Raptor Lake series. It includes a hybrid architecture for the CPU cores with combined 10 cores. Six fast Golden Cove / Raptor Cove performance cores (P-cores) with HyperThreading and a clock speed of 3.5 - 5.1 GHz and four Gracemont efficiency cores without HyperThreading and a clock speed of 2.6 - 3.9 GHz. The 13400F can be based on the older Alder Lake chips (at least for early models) or the newer Raptor Lake chips. The F-series of CPUs do not integrate a iGPU.

The performance is clearly higher than the old Core i5-12400F due to the additional four E-cores. These help in multi-threaded workloads and the higher boost core of the p-cores help for single threaded workloads.

The power consumption of the 13400F is rated at 65 Watt for sustained workloads (PL1) and 148 Watt for short bursts (PL2).

Intel Core i5-13450HX

► remove from comparison Intel i5-13450HX

The Intel Core i5-13450HX is a fast mid-range mobile processor of the Raptor Lake series. Is was announced in early 2023. The CPU integrates 6 fast Raptor Cove performance cores (P-cores) with HyperThreading and 4 Gracemont efficiency cores without HyperThreading. The P-Cores clock between 2.4 GHz (base) up to 4.6 GHz (single core boost, all-core 4.5 GHz). The smaller E-Cores clock between 1.8 and 3.4 GHz. All cores can access the combined 20 MB L3 cache (compared to the 36 MB of the i9 models).

Compared to Alder Lake, Raptor Lake offers improved P-Cores (Raptor Cove micro-architecture) with bigger Caches and more E-Cores (same Gracemont micro-architecture). Furthermore, the chip supports faster DDR5 memory (up to 5600 MHz for the 13980HX, but only 4800 MHz for the i5).

Performance

While we have not tested a single system built around the 13450HX as of August 2023, we have tested several systems featuring the Core i5-12600K, a CPU with very similar specs (six P-cores mated to four E-cores, both running at insignificantly faster clock speeds than what the 13450HX has). Based on that, we expect the 13450HX to be 10% to 15% behind the Ryzen 7 7840HS and the Ryzen 9 7940HS, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned.

Your mileage may vary depending on how competent the system's cooling solution is and how high the CPU power limits are.

Power consumption

The chip's "minimum assured" power consumption sits at 45 W. Its Turbo power consumption is not supposed to go over 157 W and its "base" power consumption is supposed to be around 55 W. Most laptop makers will probably go for a value much higher than 55 W to extract as much performance out of the chip as possible.

The i5-13450HX is built with Intel's 4th generation 10 nm process marketed as Intel 7 for average, as of early 2023, energy efficiency.

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.
