Intel Core i5-13400 is 25% more expensive than predecessor
Pricing for Intel’s upcoming Core i5-13400 CPU has been confirmed by a large US retailer.
ShopBLT now lists Intel’s 10-core Raptor Lake-S processor called Core i5-13400. Just as expected, the CPU appeared in two variants, either with (i5-13400) or without integrated graphics (i5-13400F). The retailer is not confirming the core count, but the cache size of 20MB and 2.5 GHz base clock are mentioned.
According to this listing, the next-gen CPU series would be 24% to 27% pricier than the predecessor. Although this seems like a massive increase, one must mention that the i5-13400 should end up significantly faster than the Alder Lake version. This is mainly due to increase in core count from 6 to 10, or more precisely the enablement of 4 Efficient cores on the die itself.
Some early leaks have shown that i5-13400 could end up 28% faster than 12400 in multi-core test. At the same time, only 7% increase can be observed in synthetic benchmarks for single-threaded workloads.
