Core i5-13400F vs Ryzen 7 260 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-13400F is faster than the Ryzen 7 260. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 7 260 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-13400F has slightly more cores than the Ryzen 7 260. Indeed, the Core i5-13400F has 10 cores compared to 8 cores found in the Ryzen 7 260. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 7 260 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-13400F. Also, the Ryzen 7 260 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Ryzen 7 260 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-13400F. Despite this, the Core i5-13400F has slightly more L3 cache compared to the Ryzen 7 260.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-13400F has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
