Core i5-13500H (laptop CPU) for gaming
The Core i5-13500H is a laptop processor (H series). Our estimate puts it at 56 on our gaming index (Ryzen 7 9800X3D = 100), about as fast in games as a desktop Core i5-11600K. Laptop performance varies by model, power limit and cooling, so a thin laptop can be slower than this.
