Long Description Engineered to deliver optimal price-to-performance value, the Intel Core i5-13400F Desktop Processor brings advanced hybrid core processing to mainstream PC builders. Splitting its workload across 6 dedicated P-cores (Performance) and 4 E-cores (Efficiency), this 13th Generation CPU intelligently prioritizes your primary apps—like modern games or editing tools—while allowing background tasks to execute seamlessly without interrupting performance. Operating at a 2.50 GHz base frequency with a Max Turbo boost reaching up to 4.60 GHz, it provides a smooth, stutter-free foundation for competitive eSports and modern AAA game titles alike. Built for flexibility, the i5-13400F is fully compatible with both the Intel 600 and 700 series chipsets via the LGA 1700 socket. This architecture allows you to choose between cost-effective DDR4 system memory (up to 3200 MT/s) or next-generation DDR5 memory (up to 4800 MT/s) configurations based on your budget. It features an array of 20 high-speed system PCIe lanes supporting PCIe Gen 5.0 and 4.0 storage and graphics connections to minimize asset loading bottlenecks. With a highly efficient 65W base power draw that reaches a maximum turbo power of 148W, it balances exceptional thermal management with reliable processing power. Note: The "F" suffix indicates that this processor does not feature integrated graphics. A dedicated discrete graphics card (GPU) is required to output a display to your monitor. The retail boxed package includes an Intel RM1 stock cooling fan.
