About the Intel Core i5-13420H CPU

The Intel Core i5-13420H is a 8-core (12-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2023. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Raptor Lake-H microarchitecture. The i5-13420H is compatible with Intel BGA 1744 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the Iris Xe Graphics 80EU integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i5-13420H supports DDR4-3200, DDR5-5200 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-13420H 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 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-13420H features 8 total cores which can process 12 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The 8 cores consist of 4 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 2.1 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 i5-13420H includes an integrated graphics solution called Iris Xe Graphics 80EU. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Core i5-13420H has the 97th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 47.62% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

About the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 7940HS CPU

The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 7940HS is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The PRO 7940HS is compatible with FP7, FP7r2 motherboards and is fabricated on a 4 nm manufacturing process. It features the AMD Radeon 780M integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Ryzen 9 PRO 7940HS has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 512 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 8 MB, 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 9 PRO 7940HS features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 4000.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 5200.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 9 PRO 7940HS includes an integrated graphics solution called AMD Radeon 780M. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance
