Ryzen 5 7500F vs Core i5 13400F – Test in 10 Games

We are testing the two processors, AMD Ryzen 5 7500F vs Core i5 13400F, to see which performs best in the latest AAA Titles.

In recent years, AMD processors have taken off. What started as a niche market player for hardcore gamers and video editors has become a powerhouse in budget laptops. Meanwhile, Intel has also started to make its cores powerful by separating them into Performance and Efficient Sections. So when people ask which processor is better for gaming or heavy use, the answer isn’t clear-cut.

The Ryzen 5 7500F and Core i5 13400F are now popular processors. They offer great performance for many tasks, but which is better for gaming? Thus, it depends on your needs.

So, we decided to do an arranged comprehensive benchmark suite to determine how well each processor performs in the latest AAA Titles. We ran ten high-graphic games to see how well they performed in specific cases, and we also used them to compare against similar GPU models from other leading manufacturers.

Now, further any delay, let’s dive into the experiment of the Ryzen 5 7500F vs Core i5 13400F CPU battle.
