Core i5-1340P: CPU benchmarks and laptop guide

The Intel Core i5-1340P is the classic corporate workhorse of the 13th generation — a 12-core, 28 W P-class design that filled business laptops and thin workstations from 2023 onward. The catalog matches it to 54 models, and it meets the recommended CPU requirement in 36 of the 69 games the site tracks. This guide covers where the chip sits among laptop CPUs, what it brings to a portable, and which laptops carry it.

Where the Core i5-1340P sits in 2026

A catalog score of 52.8 places the chip 235th of 741 scored laptop CPUs — the middle of a table that spans two decades of silicon. The neighborhood is a P-family reunion: the Xeon E3-1535M v6 (53.2), Core i5-1350P (53) and Core i5-8257U (52.9) just above, the Core Ultra 5 236V (52.8), Core i5-1250P (52.8) and Core i7-1360P (52.7) just below. Sitting between its own i5-1250P predecessor and an i7-1360P bigger brother — all within a tenth of a point — shows how tightly Intel's mid-tier ultrabook stack is packed. This is dependable mainstream silicon, not a chart-topper.

What the chip brings

Raptor Lake-P is a 12-core, 16-thread design on a 7 nm-class process, rated at 28 W in its P-class configuration: a 1.9 GHz base clock and up to 4.6 GHz boost. The integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 with 80 execution units drives the fleet's displays without a discrete GPU. Memory support and cache details were not captured for this chip, so the table above sticks to what the catalog verifiably holds: a PassMark overall score of 18,400.

Games: CPU-side readiness

Measured purely as a processor, the chip clears the recommended CPU tier for 36 of 69 cataloged games — from Dying Light 2, Diablo 4, Flight Simulator 2020 and Escape from Tarkov through Far Cry 5, Doom Eternal, Death Stranding and God of War down to Civilization 6 and Rainbow Six Siege. Another 26 sit at the minimum tier: Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Counter-Strike 2, Black Myth Wukong, Returnal and Alan Wake 2 all list the chip above their minimum but below their recommended CPU requirement. Seven ask for more processor than this — Starfield, Helldivers 2, Call of Duty: Warzone, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, Apex Legends and Fortnite. These verdicts are CPU-only — whether a game actually plays well depends on the laptop's GPU and RAM, and the fleet carrying this chip is almost entirely integrated-graphics territory.

Laptops that carry it

The 54-model roster is a business-fleet catalog. Dell supplies the Latitude 5440 and 5540 at $509 and $524, the Latitude 7440 at $532 and the Precision 3490 workstation at $798; HP fields the EliteBook 840 G10 at $471, EliteBook 860 G10 at $712, ProBook 450 G10 at $609 and ZBook Firefly 16 G10 at $772; Lenovo adds the ThinkPad L14 Gen 4 at $447, ThinkBook 16 G6 at $466 and the ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 workstation at $1,408, with the Inspiron 13 5330 at $1,084 as the consumer outlier. Roster medians describe the fleet honestly: office comfort at a perfect 100, energy efficiency at 85.2, mobility at 68 and portability at 69 — light, quiet working machines, with a gaming index of just 25 and a fleet-median of zero games at recommended settings.

Bottom line

The Core i5-1340P is a safe, boring-in-the-good-way pick for work: twelve cores at a 28 W budget, office comfort across the entire roster, and business-machine prices from $447 to $1,408. The gap between the chip's own 36 recommended-tier CPU verdicts and the fleet's zero is the integrated-graphics reality — for work and play-adjacent browsing it is ample; for games, buy different hardware. Judge these listings on keyboard, screen and battery instead of benchmark dreams.
