Intel Core i7-13700 Desktop Processor 16 cores (8 P-cores + 8 E-cores) 30MB Cache, up to 5.2 GHz

Product Information

Compared to the Intel Core i7-12700, the number of E-cores has been doubled to 8, meaning that the Intel Core i7-13700 offers up to 24 threads together with its 8 P-cores. Featuring 16 cores and 24 threads, it delivers exceptional computing power for demanding applications, multi-tasking and gaming. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology is an advanced means of enabling high performance while meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems. Gen Intel Core processors deliver highly flexible architecture and industry-leading tools for the ultimate in performance customisation. Intel® Hardware Shield delivers protections against firmware attacks for increased platform protection.

If you're not in need of the overclocked K model, or the raw power of the 13th Gen i9, this processor will have you covered for almost anything and not even struggle doing it.Product certification and use condition information can be found in the Production Release Qualification (PRQ) report for this SKU. As the chart clearly indicates, the performance of the Core i7-13700 depends on how much power you feed to it. It enables an environment where applications can run within their own space, protected from all other software on the system.

Graphics (ARC, Xe, UHD), Networking, OneAPI, XeSS, and all other Intel-related topics are discussed here. This worked so well for Intel that with Raptor Lake, the company essentially opted for more of the same, boosting the number of cores in the split-level configuration.Zip has been traditionally Ryzen’s strength – however the power scaling seen in Cinebench test doesn’t translate too well into this benchmark for the Intel chip regardless. Use conditions are the environmental and operating conditions derived from the context of system use. Frame-rate watchers are inclined to view these processors' integrated graphics as unusable for gaming, but it's important to keep in mind that we saw playable frame rates from most of these CPUs in all tests at 720p. It is worth noting that an 8-core Ryzen 7 7700 is able to keep up with Core i7-13700 that’s worth 16 cores; or 8+8 if you’d rather count it that way.
