Great Value Gaming CPU

- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2025Style: ProcessorVerified PurchaseAs you may be aware, a desktop builder can spend a lot of money for a CPU if performance is the only measure. However, the i5-13400 is a very affordable CPU and can run windows 11 extremely well. Personally, I decided to use the F Version (I5-13400F) as I wanted to do some gaming. I needed to add a graphics card for the ultimate performance for gaming. Compared to graphics cards, a builder can get far superior performance with a graphics card versus a built-in graphics in the CPU (i5-13400, non F version). We are talking 10X higher performance. So, in my case the F Version was lower cost and more useful if graphics is desired. If all you want is office, then the graphics performance is not required and the standard i5-13400 will fit the bill. In addition, this CPU is a 65W low power demand which keeps the heatsinking lower than the 125W CPU. But one should be aware that Intel makes a great CPU and is very reliable. I highly recommend this CPU.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2024Style: ProcessorVerified PurchaseWho should get this CPU?
Someone who is value oriented but still wants great performance.
It's really hard to beat this chip, especially if it can be found in the $130ish range which is I got mine for (used from Amazon seller). It didn't come with a cooler but I already had one. For 1080P gaming this is more than enough and unlike the previous generation 12400F, this has the E cores that will handle background tasks while gaming, leading to fewer stutters as the P cores focus on the gaming. This CPU sips power, unlike the higher binned Intel products and even with a basic/entry level motherboard like my B760M, it can run full power as long as it needs to without cutting wattage.
Speaking of wattage, at 100% usage using CPU-Z "Stress", it maxes out at around 80W. Even with the dinky stock cooler, I'm seeing high 60's. Granted, as you can see in the picture, I run an open air setup because I'm cheap and I'm much more function over form.
During gaming, I rarely see the CPU utilization go above 20%, showing that even if I were to step up to 1440P gaming, I'd have plenty of CPU for that as well.
For those considering the 14400F, I'd save the 60-80 bucks as the 14400F is merely 2-3% faster as it's clocked 1-200Mhz higher and is otherwise the same. While the 12400F is a little cheaper than this, I like having the E cores during gaming, as Windows scheduler will direct background tasks go to the E cores.
Tl;dr.
Solid value chip that sips power, and is plenty of power for 1080P/1440P gaming and it works on cheap motherboards. Get this over the 12th gen, save $$$ vs the 14th gen that is barely faster.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2023Style: ProcessorVerified PurchaseSo I was stuck on Windows 10 with my LGA 1151 core i7-6700. This processor at an affordable price more than doubled, maybe tripled my cpu performance while still accepting my older DDR4 3200 ram and m.2 storage. Also allows me to update my machine to Windows 11 as a 13th gen cpu. I considered running 8th gen chip in my older mother board by flashing the bios with a coffee lake chip support, but rather than deal with all the isolation on the cpu pins and bios frustration, i opted to spend 60 bucks for a new MATX board and this cpu. The only complaint I have is the cpu box was clearly opened and I am left wondering if this was dropped into someone else's board at some point and returned. I don't like that when the product is being advertised as new. The seller was Amazon LLC too so I am not sure what is going on with that. I have half a mind to return it for a replacement but alas it is installed and seems to be running fine so I really don't want to pack it up and ship it back. My chip runs pretty cool with the stock fan, 3d mark cpu stress tests never took it above 71C but that fan sure kicked in when the cpu was running at 100% utilization. At idle on my computer the chip purrs along at 30-35C with the fan running somewhere around 40%. All in all a good purchase to get my machine ready for Win 11. Will work for a budget gaming build but expect to pay a little more for a good GPU.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2024Style: ProcessorVerified PurchaseNo issues. Doesn't run hot and seems to be very powerful. Better than my older i7 by far.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024Style: ProcessorVerified PurchaseI originally got this cause I wanted to try out Intel's p cores/e cores. Coming from a long time AMD user, this intrigued me.
So far, it's got it's ups and downs. But it seems to be at par with the Ryzen 7 5700g. Though better in lots of ways....like, being to use either DDR 4 or 5. Or PCIe 4 or 5, depending on mother board. While the Ryzen 7 5700g is stuck at PCIe 3.
Anyway, I loved it. But decided to swap with with a i9 14900k.
I donated it to a friend along with a few other parts to upgrade her system from an A10 to this. So far it's been real good to her.
The only odd note about this processor and it's IGPU counterpart is, this one have more cache. While the IGPU version have less cache. Try to weigh in your options when looking at this over the other. I picked this due to a tiny drop in price with the added extra cache. But, it wouldn't be great for my itx rebuild I did later on. This low powered CPU (compared to a Ryzen 7 5700g) would benefit with the IGPU when going for a plain HTPC build.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diamond in the ruff.
Style: ProcessorVerified PurchaseHello,
So I bought this processor to replace my ryzen 7 2700x that finally decided to die on me. I have had the ryzen since launch.
I was expecting similar performance maybe slightly better. However, this i5-13400f not only performs better than my old ryzen. It also does it at much cooler temps then the ryzen put out. My ryzen idled at 35c and got up to around 79c on heavy load. The i5 idles at 22c and has only gotten as high as 55c max under heavy land. That's 13 degrees cooler than the ryzen at idle and 24 degrees cooler under load.
With that said that's a huge improvement over my old ryzen. Which I shouldn't be surprised that ryzen is a few generations old now. But damn. Definitely worth grabbing one.
My old ryzen would get bogged down if I created a video game asset in blender around if I went too crazy. So far the i5 hasn't been bothered by anything I do in blender. Or in zbrush, maya, 3ds max, or substance painter.
