Intel Core i5-13500 engineering sample can boost up to 4.8GHz on a single-core

The 13th Gen Core non-K chips should be around the corner, as Intel is rumoured to reveal them at CES 2023. One of the chips we're expecting is the Core i5-13500, which a Chinese reviewer had the chance to test ahead of its release.

The video review posted on Bilibili and shared by HardwareNexus (via VideoCardz) shows an Intel Core i5-13500 engineering sample (ES2), so there might be some changes between this and the retail product. Even so, it should be enough to give us an idea of how it will perform.

According to the CPU-Z screenshot, the Intel CPU will come with six P-cores, eight E-cores, twenty threads and a 65W TDP. The reviewer ran multiple synthetic benchmarks with the new chip, where you see it clocking up to 4.8GHz on a single P-core and 4.4GHz on all of them. The E-cores went up to 3.2GHz. The CPU package power maxed out at 165W.

In CPU-Z, the processor scored 767 points in the single-thread test and 8227.5 points in the multi-thread test. As expected, it's slightly higher than the Core i5-13400 scores we shared recently (5% in ST and 25% in MT). Comparing it to its predecessor, the performance gap is even higher, as the upcoming 13th Gen Core chip is about 10% faster in single-thread and 68% faster in multi-thread. In Cinebench R23, the Core i5-13500 scored 1901 points in ST and 19891 points in MT, scoring 6% and 60% higher than the Core i5-12500 in the respective tests.

KitGuru says: Price to performance usually plays a roll with CPUs in this segment, so it'll be interesting to see how much it costs compared to the rest of the Core i5 line-up.
