Cinebench, Geekbench and CPUZ benchmarks:
Let’s start with a must-have processor benchmark, the Cinebench series. We chose Cinebench R15, the R20 version, which is also more and more used and finally Cinebench R23, the latest one. The scores will be given in Single core and Multi core. This means that the benchmark tests the performance on one of the processor’s cores and then on all the available cores.
To do this, we will use Benchmate which has just been updated to version 10.12.2 and can be downloaded here. The advantage of Benchmate is that it already contains a whole series of benchmarks and moreover, it is recognized and certified when you want to encode your results on the Hwbot site.
As a reminder, before you start reading these results, make sure you have a look at the previous page to understand the operating frequencies of this non-K i5-13400F.
Cinebench R15 Single Core and Multi Core:
A benchmark very much used especially by overclockers in order to be able to compare the performance of processors between them. It also allows you to judge the optimizations of your OS as well as your memory kit by setting a frequency and trying to score a maximum of points. Even if it is a little less used today with the arrival of R20 and R23, it remains a reference to compare CPUs between them since it is one of the first benchmarks used by the community.
We start with a score of 261 points which puts it far from the Ryzen 5 7600 and a hair more powerful than the 12400F of the previous generation. This benchmark is already getting old, but is still used in overclockingcompetitions.
In multi-threaded mode, the observation is different thanks to the 10 cores of this i5-1400F. It takes the lead over its rival of the day, the Ryzen 5 7600.
Cinebench R20 Single Core and Multi Core:
Cinebench R20 offers similar testing to the R15 version with SingleThread and MultiThread. Freshly landed in March 2019, it offers a more complex benchmark than the R15 version which had become a bit too easy for CPUs with many cores. Cinebench R20 requires eight times more computing power than the R15 version, and four times more memory. It can already be more like a stress benchmark since it forces your CPU to be stable for the duration of the bench.
Under Cinebench R20, the scores start to balance out and the gap with the Ryzen 5 7600 is smaller.
In multi-core, it is the number of cores that speaks once again. With a score of 6202 points, our processor of the day even manages to get the scalp of the Ryzen 5 7600X, which has higher operating frequencies than the Ryzen 5 7600. This is at the same time quite logical, thanks to the 4 E-cores of the i5-13400F.
Cinebench R23 Single Core and Multi Core:
How does this new version differ from the previous ones? First of all, it is more realistic when it comes to the score obtained depending on the processor used. As a reminder, Cinebench only test the capabilities of your processor in single-thread or multi-thread. But the main difference is to propose a benchmark which by default will last 10 minutes! The idea for MAXON with Cinebench R23 is to propose a benchmark that will allow a certain stability in terms of temperature and boost frequencies. We will test here the fast version.
The Cinebench are following and improving for our i5-13400F regarding the singlethreaded scores. The last one, Cinebench R23, is still in favor of the Ryzen 5 7600 with a score of 1851 points, which is 51 points higher than our i5-13400F.
In multi, same observation as for Cinebench R20, our i5-13400F obtains a score of 16211 points which places it in front of the Ryzen 5 7600X.
Geekbench 3.4.4 Single Core and Multi Core:
This is a benchmark available in several revisions, version 5 is more and more used in recent months and is also often used for CPU performance leaks. It allows to obtain two scores: one in single core and the other in multi core. The version used for the tests is 3.4.4 and 5.2.5. Please note that in order to take full advantage of these two benchmarks, a license is required and we perform the bench in 64-bit.
The trend we have noticed in Cinebench is confirmed in Geek Bench 3 with a single thread score lagging behind the Ryzen 7000(X).
In multi-threaded mode, the Raptor Lake processors manage to make the difference thanks to their E-core and it is therefore logical that our i5-13400F obtains a score of 47602 points which places it ahead of the Ryzen 5 7600.
GeekBench 5.2.5 Single Core and Multi Core :
The latest version of the GeekBench software, it is becoming more and more widespread and used by journalists. It allows, like the version above, to do memory and processor performance tests. We decided to add this additional benchmark but why? The CPU benchmark uses new tests that more closely simulate the tasks that processors face with recent applications. Geekbench 5 also increases the memory used in the benchmark to better reflect the impact of this parameter on the CPU results.
Doesn’t this sound like déjà vu? Well, yes, we can agree on the delay of our i5-13400F in terms of single-threaded performance against the competition of the reds.
In multi thread, the 10 cores, 6 P-core and 4 E-core, free the horses and our 13400F comes back in front of the Ryzen 5 7600X. The contribution of these efficient cores is a real advantage for Intel on recent benchmarks.
CPU-Z 17.01.64 benchmark in Single Thread and Multi Thread :
New benchmark that we have just added since it is increasingly used by brands in order to put forward the performance of the processor. To use it, nothing could be easier, just download the latest version of CPU-Z which is currently version 2.0.2. Then go to the “Bench” tab to check the performance in single and multi thread. The version of the benchmark that we used is 17.01.64.
As you can see, there are differences from one benchmark to another. Here with the integrated CPU-Z benchmark, our i5-13400F gets a score of 750 points which places it for the first time in single thread ahead of the Ryzen 7 7700!
Finally, we find a table that once again highlights the advantage of the mix of the two types of cores of our i5-13400F, which is still ahead of the Ryzen 5 7600X and its 8 cores and its higher operating frequencies.
