About the Intel Core i5-13400F CPU

The Intel Core i5-13400F is a 10-core (16-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2023 with a suggested retail price of $196. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Raptor Lake microarchitecture. The i5-13400F is compatible with Intel Socket 1700 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Core i5-13400F supports DDR4-3200, DDR5-4800 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-13400F has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1.25 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 20 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-13400F features 10 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The 10 cores consist of 6 P-Cores and 4 E-Cores. P-Cores are designed for high-performance tasks and E-Cores are intended for efficiency and lighter tasks. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.5 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.6 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i5-13400F does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Core i5-13400F has the 36th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 64.39% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 23,820 score and $196 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 121.53. This is the best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD Ryzen 3 3100 CPU

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100 is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2020 with a suggested retail price of $99. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 3 lineup, which is based on the Zen 2 microarchitecture. The 3100 is compatible with AMD Socket AM4 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 3 3100 supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 3 3100 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 16 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 3 3100 features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.6 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.9 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 3 3100 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Ryzen 3 3100 has the 231st best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 28.93% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 10,702 score and $99 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 108.1.
