Thanks to its high clock rates and the hybrid architecture developed based on Intel Alder Lake, you can enjoy maximum gaming performance with the Intel Core i5-13500, while secondary applications run seamlessly in the background. Additionally, the processor is equipped with an integrated graphics unit. Intel's powerful hybrid architecture combines two core families into a single CPU, ensuring everything in your gaming universe runs smoothly. Six performance cores (P-cores) are designed for high performance in single and light-thread workloads, accelerating gaming and productivity tasks. Eight efficient cores (E-cores) are optimized for multithreading performance and minimize performance dips caused by secondary tasks. The Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages CPU usage, distributing tasks to the most suitable core for execution. Both core types can be overclocked independently.
