Core i5-2400 vs Core i5-13600KF comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-13600KF is faster than the Core i5-2400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-2400 in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-13600KF has significantly more cores with 14 cores whereas the Core i5-2400 has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-2400. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-13600KF has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-2400. Also, the Core i5-13600KF has a significantly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-2400 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-13600KF CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. For instance, the Core i5-2400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
