Thanks to its high clock rates and the hybrid architecture developed based on Intel Alder Lake, you 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 integrates two core families into a single CPU, ensuring everything in your gaming universe runs smoothly. Six performance cores (P-cores) are designed for performance in single and light-thread workloads, accelerating gaming and productive work. Eight efficient cores (E-cores) are optimized for multithreading performance and minimize performance dips from secondary tasks. The Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages CPU load, distributing tasks to the most suitable core for execution. Both core types can be overclocked independently.
