Intel Core i5-13500 vs Apple M3 Max 14-Core vs Apple M3 Pro 12-Core

Intel Core i5-13500

► remove from comparison

Der Intel Core i5-13500 ist ein schneller und sparsamer Desktop-Prozessor auf Basis der Raptor-Lake-Architektur, die bereits im Oktober 2022 vorgestellt wurde. Der Prozessor bietet einen Basistakt von 2,5 GHz und erreicht bis zu 4,8 GHz im Turbo. Die mit Alder-Lake eingeführte hybride CPU-Architektur kommt auch bei den Raptor-Lake-Prozessoren zum Einsatz. Im Vergleich zum Intel Core i5-12500 bietet der Intel Core i5-13500 mehr Kerne, womit eine höhere Gesamtleistung erzielt werden kann. In Summe kann der Intel Core i5-13500 bis zu 20 Threads parallel verarbeiten. Die Performance-Kerne (P-Cores) bieten hierzu Hyperthreading, was den energieeffizienten Kernen (E-Cores) vorenthalten wird.

Performance

Aufgrund der höheren Anzahl an physikalischen Recheneinheiten bietet der Intel Core i5-13500 gegenüber dem Intel Core i5-12500 spürbar mehr Leistung. Beide Prozessoren verfügen über 6 P-Kerne, wenngleich nur der Intel Core i5-13500 zusätzlich mit 8 E-Kernen bestückt ist.

Grafikeinheit

Wie auch der Intel Core i5-12600K bietet der Intel Core i5-13500 eine integrierte Grafikeinheit. Als Basis dient weiterhin die Intel Iris Xe-Architektur. Rein leistungstechnisch hat sich bei der neuen Intel UHD Graphics 770 aber nicht viel verändert. 

Leistungsaufnahme

Die TDP des Intel Core i5-13500 beläuft sich auf 65 Watt, mit der Option, diese im Turbo auf bis zu 154 Watt zu erhöhen. Gegenüber dem Intel Core i5-12500 steigt der Energiebedarf etwas an.

Apple M3 Max 14-Core

► remove from comparison Apple Apple M3 Max 14-Core

The Apple M3 Max 14 core CPU is a system on a chip (SoC) from Apple for notebooks that was introduced towards the end of 2023. It integrates a new 14-core CPU with 10 performance cores with up to 4.06 GHz and 4 efficiency cores with 2.8 GHz. There is also a more powerful 16-core variant with 40 GPU cores.

Thanks to the higher clock rates and architectural improvements, the processor performance is also significantly better than the M2 Max in benchmarks and can keep up with the fastest mobile CPUs.

The M3 also integrates a new graphics card with dynamic caching, mesh shading and ray tracing acceleration via hardware. In the cheaper model, 30 of the chip's 40 cores are used and support up to 5 displays simultaneously (internal and 4 external).

GPU and CPU can jointly access the shared memory on the package (unified memory). This is available in 36 and 96 GB variants and offers 400 GB/s maximum bandwidth (512 bit bus).

The integrated 16-core Neural Engine has also been revised and now offers 18 TOPS peak performance (compared to 15.8 TOPS in the M2 but 35 TOPS in the new A17 Pro). The video engine now also supports AV1 decoding in hardware. H.264, HEVC and ProRes (RAW) can still be decoded and encoded. Like its predecessor, the Max chip offers two video engines and can therefore encode and decode two streams simultaneously.

Unfortunately, the integrated WLAN only continues to support WiFi 6E (no WiFi 7), unlike the small M3 SoC thunderbolt 4 is also supported (max 40 Gbit/s).

The chip is manufactured in the current 3nm process (N3B) at TSMC and contains 92 billion transistors (+37% vs. Apple M2 Max).

Apple M3 Pro 12-Core

► remove from comparison Apple Apple M3 Pro 12-Core

The Apple M3 Pro (12 Core) is a system on a chip (SoC) from Apple for notebooks that was launched in late 2023. It integrates a new 12-core CPU with 6 performance cores with up to 4.06 GHz and 6 efficiency cores with 2.8 GHz. There is also a slimmed-down 11-core variant with a 14-core GPU.

Compared to the M2 Pro the M3 Pro has been slimmed down somewhat and swaps two performance cores for efficiency cores. This is due to the changed core configuration, as 6 cores are now used per cluster (the M2 Pro and M3 still have 4 cores per cluster). Furthermore, the memory bus has been reduced from 256 bits to 192 bits (150 GB/s vs. 200 GB/s). However, thanks to the new architecture and higher clock rates, the new M3 Pro is still slightly faster.

The M3 Pro also integrates a new graphics card with dynamic caching, mesh shading and ray tracing acceleration via hardware. In the top model, all 18 cores of the chip are used and support up to 3 displays simultaneously (internal and 2 external).

GPU and CPU can jointly access the shared memory on the package (unified memory). This is available in 18 or 36 GB variants and offers 150 GB/s maximum bandwidth (192 bit bus).

The integrated 16-core Neural Engine has also been revised and now offers 18 TOPS peak performance (compared to 15.8 TOPS in the M2 but 35 TOPS in the new A17 Pro). The video engine now also supports AV1 decoding in hardware. H.264, HEVC and ProRes (RAW) can still be decoded and encoded.

Unfortunately, the integrated WLAN only continues to support WiFi 6E (no WiFi 7), unlike the small M3 SoC thunderbolt 4 is also supported (max 40 Gbit/s).

The chip is manufactured in the current 3nm process (N3B) at TSMC and contains 37 billion transistors (-7.5% vs. Apple M2 Pro).
