Product overview

Launched January 3, 2023, the Core i5-13400F is a 13th‑Gen “Raptor Lake” desktop CPU for the LGA1700 platform (Intel 600/700‑series chipsets). It’s a 10‑core hybrid design with 6 P‑cores and 4 E‑cores (16 threads), base 2.5 GHz and up to 4.6 GHz boost.

Positioned as a mainstream Core i5, it exists to deliver balanced gaming and productivity without K‑class pricing or power (65 W base). It’s well‑suited to 1080p gaming (and 1440p with a capable GPU), streaming, everyday productivity, and light video editing, with support for DDR4‑3200 or DDR5‑4800 memory. Unique note: the F‑suffix means no integrated graphics—discrete GPU required.
