13th Generation Core Processor Exposure: The i5 will adopt a heterogeneous core design across the series

Intel has launched the 12th generation Core processor in the fourth quarter of last year, compared to the 11th generation Core processor, the performance is better, especially the single-threaded performance, so the launch of the 12th generation Core processor has also won the praise of consumers, but other accessories are too expensive, so the actual purchase of this platform consumers are not as many as expected. With the time to 2022, the next should be the 13th generation of Core processors, there are also many news about the 13th generation of Core processors on the Internet, for example, according to the latest news, Intel plans to use heterogeneous cores on core i5 processors, that is, the hybrid architecture of P core and E core.

According to the news of the 12th generation Core processor that has been announced so far, Intel uses the design of P core and E core on the Intel Core i5-12600K processor, so the performance in the actual game is not much worse than the flagship processor such as the Intel Core i9-12900K. However, when it comes to the Intel Core i5-12400 processor for the mainstream market, Intel did not use the design of P core and E core, but still uses a homogeneous core design, which is no different from the previous processor. Of course, there is still a big gap between the game performance and the Intel Core i5-12600K processor.

For example, as a replacement for the current Intel Core i5-12400 processor, Intel Core i5-13400 uses a 6P core + 4E core design, that is, 10 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i5-12600K processor seems to have raised a grade, becoming an Intel Core i7-13600 processor, with a specification of 8 P cores and 8 E cores, a total of 24 cores. Thus it is stronger than the current 12600K in performance. As for the flagship Intel Core i9-13900K processor, it uses an 8P core and 16E core design, a total of 32 threads, which is much stronger than the current 12900K. However, since the i5 processor has adopted a hybrid architecture in its entirety, it means that consumers need to use the Win11 system to get the best experience.
