Core i5-13400 Spec and Price in Canada

LGA170010 cores / 16 threads

Released January 3, 2023 ·

Intel's non-K value pick from 13th Gen: ten cores split six Performance and four Efficient reach a 4.6GHz boost from a 2.5GHz P-core base, with 20MB of L3 cache and Intel UHD Graphics 730 built in — a smaller iGPU than the 770 used on the K-series parts above it. A 65W base power and 154W maximum turbo power keep cooling modest, and memory support tops out at DDR5-4800 rather than the 5600 the higher-tier chips reach. At $231 boxed, it undercuts every K/KF part in this batch, with the F-suffix 13400F priced lower still.

Tied 56th of 65 models in the CPU catalog on Boost clock — 5 models share this figure. Tied 57th of 65 models in the CPU catalog on L3 cache — 4 models share this figure.

Guides for this category

How to choose a desktop CPUA chip's socket decides what it can go into; cores, cache and TDP decide what you actually get once it's installed.How many CPU cores you actually needWhy more cores is not more speed, how gaming and productivity ask for cores differently, and why a core count alone never ranks two chips.When a CPU price is actually goodWhy a chip's list price and discount percentage tell you little, what a processor's price does over its life, and how to read its tracked history.Laptop CPU vs desktop CPUA mobile chip with the same core count is not the same processor — what the power envelope changes, and why these parts carry no price.

What owners and reviewers say

Summarised from 1 source(s), reviewed September 14, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

  • Reviewers place it at the front of the roughly $200 mid-range tier, calling it a solid step up from the previous-generation Core i5-12400 for both gaming and productivity.
  • Adding four efficiency cores to a 65W Core i5 for the first time gives it threaded headroom for streaming and multitasking that its predecessor lacked.
  • DDR4 support delivers essentially the same gaming result as pricier DDR5 at stock, making the whole platform notably cheap to build.

Commonly criticised

  • Its execution cores are locked, so it offers no multiplier overclocking, and the competing Ryzen 5 7600 is measurably faster in gaming.
