Product overview
Launched in Q1 2023, the Core i5-13400 is part of Intel’s 13th‑gen (Raptor Lake) desktop family for LGA1700. It targets the mainstream slot: a sensible mix of cores and clocks without K‑series pricing or power draw.
With 10 cores (6P+4E) and 16 threads, 2.5 GHz base and up to 4.6 GHz boost, it drops into 600‑ and 700‑series boards and works with DDR4‑3200 or DDR5‑4800. Integrated Intel UHD graphics cover basic display needs if you start without a discrete GPU. The multiplier is locked, favoring drop‑in simplicity over overclocking. Best for 1080p gaming, streaming, and office/productivity in budget builds. It is not marked discontinued on Intel ARK as of July 2026. Unique note: a stock Intel Laminar cooler is included.
