Q1 2023

Summary of the review

Intel Core i5-1340P - LaptopMedia

The Intel Core i5-1340P is a 13th Gen "Raptor Lake-P" mid-range processor designed for thin, active-cooled laptops, featuring 12 cores (4P + 8E) and 16 threads with a 4.60 GHz max turbo. A key pro is its balance of 28W efficiency with performance rivaling older high-end i7 chips, making it excellent for multitasking and office work. Integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics (80 EU) offer a pro of capable casual gaming, yet a notable con is its limited overhead for modern AAA titles, which often fall short of high-performance expectations. Supporting modern standards like DDR5, LPDDR5x, and PCIe Gen 4, the processor includes advanced features such as Intel Thread Director and Thunderbolt 4. However, a con is the locked multiplier that prevents overclocking, and it can run toasty under heavy, sustained loads.

Intel Core I5-1340P Benchmarks, Linux Performance

The Intel Core i5-1340P is a 12-core, 16-thread "Raptor Lake" processor designed for 28W ultra-thin laptops, appearing frequently in devices like the Framework 13. It offers strong multi-threaded performance and an excellent performance-to-power ratio, acting as a direct, efficient successor to the 12th gen P-series for demanding mobile tasks. While featuring decent integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics, the chip faces thermal constraints in thin chassis and holds limited gaming capabilities, with locked overclocking.

Intel Core i5-1340P - CPU Benchmarks

The Intel Core i5-1340P is a 13th Gen "Raptor Lake-P" processor with 12 cores and 16 threads designed for thin, actively cooled laptops. It provides a ~16% performance boost over the previous-gen i5-1240P in multi-threaded tasks, with strong single-core performance suitable for demanding productivity apps. Pros include high single-thread speeds (approx. 3419 on PassMark) and capable Iris Xe Graphics. Cons involve higher power consumption and heat compared to U-series chips, along with PCIe 4.0 limitations. For the full specs, see PassMark Software.

The Intel Core i5-1340P is a 13th Gen Raptor Lake processor featuring 12 cores (4P + 8E) and 16 threads designed for thin laptops, delivering strong, near-top-tier performance. Its primary pros include excellent single-core speeds and support for fast DDR5-5200/LPDDR5-6400 memory. However, key cons include weaker integrated Iris Xe Graphics (80EU) compared to previous generations and high sensitivity to thermal throttling under sustained loads. While not meant for heavy workstation tasks, the i5-1340P offers high responsiveness for productivity, though it lacks an unlocked multiplier. For the full benchmark results, visit UserBenchmark.

LattePanda Sigma Review: A new flagship

The LattePanda Sigma is a high-performance, 13th Gen Intel Core i5-1340P powered single-board computer (SBC) designed for demanding tasks like home hosting and robotics. It features 12 cores, up to 32 GB of LPDDR5-6400 RAM, and extensive connectivity including dual 2.5 GbE ports and Thunderbolt 4. Key strengths highlighted include exceptional build quality, very quiet thermal management, and superior performance that competes with an M1 Mac Mini. However, the board's high $579+ price point and power consumption of up to 75.4 W under load make it less suitable for low-power or budget-conscious projects, distinguishing it from typical ARM-based SBCs. Additionally, the LPDDR5 RAM is soldered, eliminating future memory upgrades. Despite these drawbacks, the integrated Arduino-compatible ATmega32U4 co-processor offers significant versatility for hardware control. Copy

Intel Core i5-1340P Review and Specs

The Intel Core i5-1340P is a 13th Gen Raptor Lake-P, 28W mid-range processor designed for thin and light laptops, featuring a hybrid architecture with 12 cores (4 P-cores, 8 E-cores) and 16 threads. It offers strong multi-core performance, achieving a Cinebench R23 score around 12,506, while supporting modern DDR5-5200 memory, Thunderbolt 4, and Iris Xe Graphics suitable for light creative tasks. Key drawbacks include potential thermal management issues in ultra-thin chassis leading to performance throttling under sustained load, limited single-core performance compared to H-series chips, and lack of AVX-512 support.

Framework Laptop 13 Review (Core i5-1340P): The forever ultraportable moves upmarket

The Framework Laptop 13 (Intel Core i5-1340P) stands out for its exceptional modularity, utilizing an "Expansion Card" system that allows users to customize ports and easily repair or upgrade components. It features a 13.5-inch 3:2 screen, which is ideal for productivity, and offers a robust, sustainable design in a recycled aluminum chassis. The laptop delivers reliable performance for office tasks and multitasking, with a refined, quieter cooling system compared to previous models. Key strengths include an excellent, tactile keyboard and a high-quality 1080p webcam. However, the device falls short in battery life, providing only 8 to 9 hours of usage compared to competitors, while the audio quality is noted as weak. Furthermore, the premium for its modular, repairable design makes it more expensive than comparable alternatives.

Summary of the review

MSI Cubi N ADL review: sometimes that’s all you really need

The MSI Cubi N ADL is a 0.66-liter mini PC designed for light productivity, featuring energy-efficient Intel Alder Lake-N processors (N100/N200) and supporting up to 16GB of DDR4 memory. The device offers robust connectivity for its size, including dual Gigabit LAN, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode, and triple 4K monitor support. Designed for quiet office environments, it boasts low noise levels, dTPM 2.0 security, and a VESA-mountable design for space-constrained workspaces. However, the unit is limited by single-channel memory, and the processor is not intended for demanding tasks like heavy editing or gaming. Other drawbacks include the use of older Wi-Fi 5 standards in some models and a bright, non-dimmable power LED. For more details on this model, visit MSI's official product page. Copy

Third-party reviews

What we like about Intel Core i5 1340P

Excellent multitasking performance with 12 cores and 16 threads
Strong single-core performance suitable for productivity and office tasks
Reliable integrated Iris Xe graphics (80EU) for light gaming and video streaming
Efficient for mixed workloads due to its hybrid P-core and E-core architecture
Supports modern standards like Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6E, and DDR5 memory
Good thermal stability under moderate loads in well-cooled systems

What we don't like about Intel Core i5 1340P

Can run quite hot (up to 95°C) in thin laptop chassis under heavy load
Prone to thermal throttling during sustained high-intensity tasks like code compilation
Fans can become significantly audible when the processor is under load
Battery life can be inconsistent depending on the laptop's power management and cooling
Locked multiplier prevents any manual overclocking for performance gains
Integrated graphics are insufficient for modern AAA gaming at high settings

Verdict

The Intel Core i5-1340P is a mid-range, 13th Generation mobile processor based on the Raptor Lake-P architecture, featuring a hybrid design with 12 cores (4 Performance-cores and 8 Efficient-cores) and 16 threads. It operates at a base power of 28W with a maximum turbo frequency of 4.60 GHz and includes 12MB of Intel Smart Cache and integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics (80 execution units). Its main strengths lie in its excellent multi-threaded performance for ultra-thin laptops and support for modern connectivity like Thunderbolt 4 and DDR5-5200 memory. However, it can suffer from inconsistent performance under sustained heavy workloads due to thermal limitations in slim chassis and lacks support for ECC memory.
