Most encoders tend to be either heavily threaded or almost exclusively single-threaded — it takes an agile chip to master both disciplines. The chart is a bit of an eye sore, but the takeaway is that even though the box fan without power limits (Box NoPL) ran at the 100C limit during the test with the chip throttling, it only lost 100 MHz of frequency (2. Back in the more realistic land for mid-range gamers, the Core i5-13400 does much better with DDR4 memory than with DDR5, indicating that this title prefers lower latency accesses over sheer bandwidth.

The company is yet to put out detailed block-diagrams of the "Raptor Cove" P-cores powering 13th Gen Core processors, besides mentioning that the core is designed to handle higher frequencies, and comes with a larger 2 MB L2 cache, which causes us to wonder if "Golden Cove" and "Raptor Cove" are essentially the same core, just with more cache and higher clocks.

We'll send breaking news and in-depth reviews of CPUs, GPUs, AI, maker hardware and more straight to your inbox. This title also makes good use of the e-cores, thus delivering a more substantial lead over the previous-gen Core i5-12400.

This move was probably done to ensure that the i5-13400 series don't cannibalize sales of the other non-K Core i5 processor models, but this creates quite some confusion in the lineup. Intel AES New Instructions (AES-NI), Thermal Monitoring Technologies, Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d), Idle States, Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), Intel Secure Key, Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (AVX2. Instruction Set Extensions are additional instructions which can increase performance when the same operations are performed on multiple data objects.The maximum sustained (>1s) power dissipation of the processor as limited by current and/or temperature controls. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D continues to not provide much performance uplift over the standard Zen 3 models, which is important to remember — not all games benefit from the 3D cache-stacking tech. AMD's chip does come out as the clear winner on the productivity and content creation side of things, but it is that much more expensive for it.
