Intel Core i5-13500 vs Intel Core i5-14500

Core i5-13500 vs Core i5-14500 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-14500 beats the Core i5-13500 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-13500 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-14500 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-13500. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-14500 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-13500. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

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 i5-13500 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
