Processor comparison
Core i5-13400 vs Core i5-14400
13th gen vs 14th gen Intel Core desktop processors, compared spec by spec using Intel's official data.
The short answer
On paper, the Core i5-14400 is the stronger processor, ahead of the Core i5-13400 in 2 of the specs we compare (the Core i5-13400 leads in 0).
- The Core i5-14400 is 1 generation newer (14th gen, launched Q1'24) than the Core i5-13400 (13th gen, Q1'23). Both are built on the same basic core design, so the differences come mainly from core counts, clock speeds and cache.
- Both have 10 cores and 16 threads.
- The Core i5-14400 reaches 4.70 GHz with turbo, 2% higher than the Core i5-13400's 4.60 GHz. Higher clocks help games and everyday apps that lean on a few fast cores.
This verdict is generated from official specifications only. We haven't benchmarked these processors, so it doesn't measure real-world speed in games or apps; check independent benchmarks for your specific use.
