Intel's Core i5-13500 could be the best proccesor under $300
Intel's latest mid-range processor, the Core i5-13500, has had benchmark results posted online, showing it's faster than the once mighty Core i5-12600K. Yet to appear on shelves elsewhere, the CPU, along with others such as the Core i5-13400, could give AMD problems at the lower end of the market.Intel's Raptor Lake 13th Gen CPUs have received rave reviews and the lower down the stack you go, the more competitive they seem to get.
Already available in Indonesia, the Core i5-13500 was benchmarked by PC enthusiast Alva Jonathan and reached a peak core frequency of 4.8GHz. It has an interesting mix of P-cores and E-cores - six of the former and eight of the latter - the same as the excellent Core i5-13600K. Critically, it's also four more E-cores than the older Core i5-12600K, even if it has a slightly lower peak boost frequency of 4.8GHz compared to 4.9GHz.
The extra E-cores mean that even at the low power PL1 65W mode, the Core i5-13500 scores 17,104 in Cinebench's muilti-threaded test - just short of the Core i5-12600K but faster than Ryzen 7 5800X, Ryzen 5 7600X and Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Upping the power limits to the maximum setting saw this rise to 21,103.
