Compared with Core i5 12400, Core i5 13400’s R23 multi-thread performance increased by 29%

According to previous reports, Intel may release the 13th generation non-K Core processor and B760 chipset on January 3 next year, around CES 2023. Recently, the Youtube channel JAWARA media launched a comparative evaluation video of the Core i5 13400 and the previous generation Core i5 12400.

According to the previously leaked specifications, the Core i5 13400 is the successor of the Core i5 12400, the number of P-Cores remains unchanged, and four E-Cores are added. The P-Core boost clock has increased by 0.2GHz to 4.6GHz, and the L3 cache has also increased by 2MB to 20MB.

In the Cinebench R23 test, the Core i5 13400 single-thread score is 1786 and the multi-thread score is 16094; the Core i5 12400 single-thread score is 1692 and the multi-thread score is 12458. In contrast, the single-thread score has increased by 5%, and the multi-thread score has increased by 29%. Such a performance improvement is also expected. After all, the P-Core clock increase of the Core i5 13400 is not large, but adding four E-Cores will greatly help the multi-thread performance.

The video author also recorded the power consumption and temperature of the two CPUs when running Cinebench R23. The package power consumption of the Core i5 13400 is 86W and the temperature is 61 degrees, and the power consumption of the Core i5 12400 is 66W and the temperature is 60 degrees. The improvement of Core i5 13400 multi-core performance also brings about an increase in power consumption. However, the temperature of the two CPUs is similar, after all, the power consumption of more than 80 watts is not high.
