Next Level Performance

The 13th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors deliver the next generation of breakthrough core performance. Now with up to 24 cores (8 Performance-cores and 16 Efficient-cores) and up to 32 threads, plus Performance-cores are capable of reaching 5.8 GHz6 with Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost to elevate performance. Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.07 further strengthens lightly threaded performance by identifying the best-performing Performance-cores. Meanwhile, additional E-cores enable an increase in Intel® Smart Cache (L3) for more efficient processing of larger data sets and better performance. The P-core and E-core L2 cache has also increased compared to the previous generation of Intel® processors, minimizing the amount of time spent swapping data between cache and memory to speed up your workflow.1 Unleash the power of next-level performance with the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processor advantage.

Dynamic Platform Features

Loaded with the latest platform technologies, 13th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors accelerate system performance. Up to 16 PCIe 5.02 lanes doubles I/O throughput for accelerated processing power. Take advantage of the latest DDR5 support that is transforming the industry for fast speeds up to 5600 MT/s,3 high bandwidth, and enhanced productivity, as well as continued DDR4 support up to 3200 MT/s. Comprehensive advanced tuning and overclocking8 support—including Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility,9 Intel® Extreme Memory Profile, and Intel® Dynamic Memory Boost10—deliver intelligent overclocking performance on demand so that both new and experienced overclockers can get more from their unlocked processors. And backwards compatibility with Intel’s 600 and 700 series chipsets offers you the flexibility to upgrade without compromising on performance or features.

Seamless Immersion

The 13th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors bring you the ultimate immersive experiences, whether you are engaged in intense gaming and creating or highly focused work sessions. Enhanced Intel® UHD Graphics driven by Xe Architecture11 deliver vibrant, high-quality visual support for up to 8K60 HDR video and up to 4 simultaneous 4K60 displays.

13th Gen Intel® Core™ Desktop Processors: Features at a Glance

Performance-core

The highest-performing CPU core ever built by Intel, designed to handle single-threaded, lightly threaded, or burst workloads like 4K gaming and 3D design.

Efficient-core

Designed to handle multi-threaded and background tasks such as minimized browser tabs, IT services, and cloud syncing, leaving P-cores free to deliver incredible performance without interruption.

Performance Hybrid Architecture1

Integrates two core microarchitectures into a single die, prioritizing and distributing workloads to optimize performance.

Intel® Thread Director1 13

Optimizes workloads by helping the OS scheduler intelligently distribute workloads to the optimal cores.

PCIe 5.02 up to 16 Lanes

Offers readiness for up to 32 GT/s for fast access to discrete graphics, storage, and peripheral devices with up to 16 PCI Express 5.0 lanes.

 

Product and Performance Information

1Increased cores from previous generation on the unlocked i9, i7, and i5 processors.
2Performance hybrid architecture combines two core microarchitectures, Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores), on a single processor die first introduced on 12th Gen Intel Core processors. Select 13th Gen Intel Core processors do not have performance hybrid architecture, only P-cores, and have same cache size as prior generation; see ark.intel.com for sku details.
3CPU PCIe 5.0 lanes are only validated for discrete graphics (x16) and PCIe storage (1x4). 1x16 bifurcation to 2x8 supported on select Intel® 600 and 700 Series chipsets.
4Maximum memory speeds are associated with 1 DIMM per Channel (1DPC) configurations. Up to DDR5-5600 MT/s 1DPC UDIMM 1Rx8, 1Rx16 and DDR5-5200 1Rx8, 1Rx16, 2Rx8.
5On select processor SKUs.
6With Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost.
7Available only on Intel® Core™ i9 processors and Intel® Core™ i7 processors.
8Overclocking Disclaimer: Unlocked features are present with select chipsets and processor combinations. Altering clock frequency or voltage may void any product warranties and reduce stability, security, performance, and life of the processor and other components. Check with system and component manufacturers for details.
9Users must download this app from Intel.com.
10This feature requires motherboard BIOS support. Please see your motherboard supplier for details.
11Available only on 12th and 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors featuring integrated graphics.
12‘Best in Class wired and wireless connectivity with Wi-Fi 6’: Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) products support optional 160 MHz channels, enabling the fastest possible theoretical maximum speeds (2402 Mbps) for typical 2x2 802.12ax PC Wi-Fi products. Premium Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) products enable 2-4X faster maximum theoretical speeds compared standard 2x2 (1201 Mbps) or 1x1 (600 Mbps) 802.12ax PC Wi-Fi products, which only support the mandatory requirement of 80 MHz channels. Gigabit Wi-Fi Requirements: To achieve speed of over 1 Gbps requires Gig internet service, router/gateway with either Wi-Fi 6 or 12ac with 160 MHz channel support, and PC with Intel® Wireless 9260/9560 or Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) AX200/AX201.
13Built into the hardware, Intel® Thread Director is provided only in performance hybrid architecture configurations of 12th Gen or newer Intel® Core™ processors; OS enablement is required. Available features and functionality vary by OS.
