Gaming PCs
with Intel Core i5
Computers with 13th generation Intel Core i5 processors are a balance of performance, price, and accessibility. This CPU series includes models with 6 cores and 12 threads, as well as 10 cores and 16 threads. All of them are manufactured using a 10-nanometer process on the Raptor Lake architecture and are compatible with the LGA1700 socket on the motherboard.
The Core i5 lineup includes processors with an unlocked multiplier, marked with the "K" index. Their maximum frequency reaches 4.9 GHz in Turbo Boost mode. The efficiency of such devices is increased by 20-25% compared to the 12th generation, but the heat dissipation is increased up to 150 watts.
Technological features
Although i5 is the entry-level Raptor Lake processor, like the higher-end devices, they support the innovative PCIe 5.0 connection type and DDR5 memory up to 4800 MHz.
The 13600K and 13600K(F) models have a hybrid chip architecture: 6 productive cores and 8 energy-efficient ones. The former are responsible for performing basic calculations or low-threaded processes. The latter handle background tasks, reducing the processor load.
In combination with 24 MB of L3 cache memory, a gaming computer with Core i5 of the latest generation is 1.5 times faster on average than the 12th generation counterpart.
What tasks are suitable for a PC with Intel Core i5
If you want to buy an affordable but powerful computer for gaming, then building a gaming PC on i5 is the most suitable option. HYPERPC store has many ready-made solutions based on this processor.
Such configurations are suitable for novice gamers to play at maximum graphics settings in 1080p or at medium-high in 1440p. In video games, the CPU clock speed is more important than the increased number of cores, so Core i5 with their increased frequency are mainly designed for gaming PCs. These CPUs will provide comfortable gameplay in modern online or offline projects.
Processors in this series are not intended for serious work in professional applications, but they are capable of performing basic operations for creating simple animation, graphics, and video. Therefore, a system unit with Core i5 can be used in applications such as:
- Movavi, Shotcut (video editors);
- Inkscape, Adobe Photoshop (graphic editors);
- Cartoon Animator 4, Blender (motion design).
