The previously leaked Intel official PPT confirmed that the i5-13600 and below models are the core of the 12th-generation Core Alder Lake, and the 13th-generation CPU only has the i5-K and higher models with enhanced L2 cache, which Means i5-13600, i5-13500, i5-13400 and i3-13100 will be the vests of the 12th generation Core.
Considering the Core i5-13600K will feature both Raptor Lake B0 and Alder Lake C0 offerings, Intel’s 13th Gen Core i5 series should be an interesting lineup.
Now, the mainstream Core i5-13600K, i5-13500, and i5-13400 performance benchmark scores for Intel’s 13th-generation CPUs have all been leaked.
Judging from the PassMark scores released by @TUM_APISAK, Intel’s mainstream Core i5-13600K, Core i5-13500 and Core i5-13400 CPUs performed well, with the i5-13600K significantly stronger than the i5-12600K.
Intel Core i5-13600K:
The Core i5-13600K uses a Raptor Lake B0 chip with a total of 14 cores, including 6 P cores based on Raptor Cove and 8 E cores based on the current Gracemont.
While it has the same number of P cores as the i5-12600K, it has double the number of E cores. Therefore, compared with the i5-12600K, this processor has 40% core count and 25% thread count increase, is equipped with 24 MB L3 and 20 MB L2 cache, and has a main frequency of 3.5~5.2GHz (full core 5.1GHz). There has been a marked improvement over the previous generation.
Intel Core i5-13500 and i5-13400:
The Core i5-13500 and i5-13400 will use the Alder Lake C0 chip, the former is equipped with 6 P cores and 8 E cores, a total of 20 threads, 24 MB L3 cache, 11.5 MB L2 cache, with a 65W design; i5-13400 is equipped with 6 P cores and 4 E cores, 16 threads, 20 MB L3 cache, 9.5 MB L2 cache.
The Core i5-13500 has a base frequency of 2.5GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.6GHz, while the i5-13400 is 2.5GHz~4.7GHz.
From the PassMark single-threaded results, the i5-13600K scored 4249 MOps/s, the i5-13500 scored 4033 MOps/s, and the i5-13400 scored 3866 MOps/s.
For reference, the i5-12600K scored 3980 MOps/s on the same test, so we can see that the i5-13600K is already 6.7% faster than the 12th Gen processor. Compared to their predecessors, the Core i5-13500 and i5-13400 are about 8% faster than the i5-12500, i5-12400 and, of course, better than their AMD counterparts.
That is to say, if Intel 13th generation CPUs are priced at the same price as existing products, they will get an 8-10% performance improvement, plus the B660 motherboard supports the use of cheaper DDR4 memory, I believe this generation of Intel processors will not sell too much. Difference.
