10-core LGA 1700 desktop processor

The Core i5-13400 combines six performance cores and four efficient cores for 16 threads on the LGA 1700 socket. It supports DDR4 3200 and DDR5 4800 memory across two channels up to 128 GB. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 730 provides display output without a discrete card.

65 W base power with 148 W turbo ceiling

Under sustained workloads the processor runs at its 65 W base power with P-cores at 2.5 GHz and E-cores at 1.8 GHz. When thermal headroom allows it can lift to 148 W, pushing P-cores toward 4.6 GHz and E-cores toward 3.3 GHz. The 20 MB L3 cache and 9.5 MB L2 cache help maintain throughput during long sessions.

Cooler not included; install on LGA 1700

The boxed unit ships without a cooling device so a separate solution rated for at least 148 W is required. Mounting follows the standard LGA 1700 pattern; take care to seat the processor evenly and apply thermal paste before clamping. Memory and PCIe 5.0 or 4.0 devices install normally once the CPU is secured.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the Core i5-13400 get when running at its 148W Maximum Turbo Power all day?

The processor has a 65W base power and can reach 148W at maximum turbo; actual noise and temperature depend entirely on the cooler you install, as no cooling device is included.

What memory and motherboard socket must I already own to use the Core i5-13400?

You need an LGA 1700 motherboard and either DDR4 3200 or DDR5 4800 memory running in dual-channel mode for up to 128GB capacity.

Will my existing PCIe 3.0 graphics card and DDR4 memory work with the Core i5-13400?

Yes, the CPU supports PCIe 5.0, 4.0 and 3.0 with 20 lanes total, and it works with both DDR4 3200 and DDR5 4800 memory types.
