Product Information

However, you could run into slightly more throttling if you run a heavy extended-duration heavy workload for an hour or more or have higher ambient temps (our tests were at ~74F ambient).

Execute Disable Bit is a hardware-based security feature that can reduce exposure to viruses and malicious-code attacks and prevent harmful software from executing and propagating on the server or network. The Intel Core i5 13400F is a processor I've been waiting patiently to test since I first heard wind of it last year. All of which means, as someone who has been happily running an Intel Core i7 6700K over the past six or seven years, and which now resides in a PC I built for my partner, this is the first time I've considered upgrading that chip for something newer. The competition between AMD and Intel chips can vary based on the title (particularly with DDR4 vs DDR5) and the GPU you use.The Ryzen 7 5800X3D continues to not provide much performance uplift over the standard Zen 3 models, which is important to remember — not all games benefit from the 3D cache-stacking tech.

Intel have now added a Core i5-13400 to their Raptor Lake range, and they’ve added four E-Cores to it over and above the 6C12T Core i5-12400. Yet even in these two games where the Core i5 13400F falls off the pace of the faster 13th Gen processors, it remains quicker than last year's best gaming CPU, the Core i5 12600K.

The DDR4 config even leads after stepping up to the relatively tame DDR4-3600 memory overclock, beating the DDR5-6800 config. Now with up to 10 cores (6 Performance-cores and 4 Efficient-cores) and up to 16 threads, plus Performance-cores are capable of reaching 4.
