Core i5-13400F vs Core i5-14400F

The Core i5-14400F is essentially a 13400F with slightly higher clocks. Both have 10 cores (6 P + 4 E), 16 threads, 20 MB of L3 cache, a 65 W TDP and the LGA1700 socket.

Core i5-13400F

Pick it if…

You find it cheaper than the 14400F: it will perform practically the same.

Core i5-14400F

Pick it if…

They cost the same or nearly so: the 14400F has a slightly higher boost clock.

Note. Intel Core i5-13400F, Intel Core i5-14400F do not include integrated graphics: you need a dedicated graphics card.

Performance

Scores from 0 to 100 calculated from sourced benchmarks. If there is no real data, nothing is shown.

There are no sourced benchmarks for these CPUs yet

To avoid making up data, the gaming, productivity, single-core, multi-core and efficiency scores will appear once you load real results in src/data/benchmarks.ts, citing the source of each one.

Price and performance

Relative performance (in games) divided by the current price. It is a figure to interpret, not a verdict.

Comparison breakdown

Differences

Max boost goes from 4.6 GHz (13400F) to 4.7 GHz (14400F). Cores, cache, power (65 W base, 148 W maximum) and supported memory are identical. The performance difference is small and hard to notice outside of benchmarks.

Compatibility

Both use 600- and 700-series LGA1700 motherboards, with DDR4 or DDR5 depending on the board. 600-series boards may need a BIOS update for the 14400F. Neither has integrated graphics, since both are F models.

Stability

As with any 13th or 14th Gen Core chip, install the latest motherboard BIOS: it includes the microcode Intel used to fix the stability issues. With that done, the choice comes down to price alone.
