Today at Intel Innovation, Intel revealed the 13th Gen Intel Core processor family. Led by the 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900K, it includes six new unlocked desktop processors with up to 24 cores and 32 threads and blazing clock speeds up to 5.8 GHz for the best gaming, streaming and recording experience.
Led by the launch of the Intel Core “K” processors, the 13th Gen Intel Core desktop family will consist of 22 processors and more than 125 partner system designs. With the existing Intel 600 or new Intel 700 series chipset motherboards, combined with both the latest DDR5 memory support and continued DDR4 memory support, users can enjoy the benefits of 13th Gen Intel Core while customizing their setup based on their own features and budget preferences.
Building on a matured Intel 7 process and x86 performance hybrid architecture, 13th Gen Intel Core desktop processors enable better system performance. This includes up to 15% better single-threaded performance and up to 41% better multi-threaded performance. Intel said that this generation's hybrid architecture brings together the fastest Performance-cores (P-core) ever built along with up to double the number of Efficient-cores (E-core).
In addition, here is the summary of what Intel showcased:
- Available with up to 24 cores (8 P-cores, 16 E-cores) and 32 threads, the new Core i9-13900K provides the best experience for gaming, streaming and recording. With up to 5.8 GHz and 15% better single-thread performance, it can push high frame rates and allow for unleashed gaming experiences across top titles
- The 13th Gen Intel Core desktop processor lineup adds more E-cores and up to 41% better multi-threaded performance to handle multiple, compute-intensive workloads
- Higher average overclocking speeds across P-cores, E-cores and DDR5 memory. Intel also updated its easy one-click overclocking feature, Intel Speed Optimizer, to support 13th Gen processors so users can overclock with minimal effort. And the robust Intel Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) 3.0 ecosystem provides a wide selection of overclocking modules. When coupled with Intel Dynamic Memory Boost, this feature provides a hassle-free memory overclocking experience with both DDR4 and DDR5
- Intel Adaptive Boost Technology and Thermal Velocity Boost can boost processor clock frequencies based on power and thermal headroom during a given workload. Available in Intel Core i9 unlocked SKUs
- More E-cores across Intel Core i5, i7, and i9 power a big leap in multi-threaded performance and a better multitasking/mega-tasking experience for users
- PCIe Gen 5.0 support, with as many as 16 lanes off the processor
- Increased memory support to DDR5-5600 and DDR5-5200, while maintaining DDR4 compatibility
- Up to 2x the L2 cache and increased L3 cache
Last but not least, Intel also launched the new Intel 700 Series chipset with advanced features. It features eight additional PCIe Gen 4.0 lanes combined with PCIe Gen 3.0 providing 28 total lanes off the chipset, increased USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) ports provide improved USB connectivity speed, and DMI Gen 4.0 increases the chipset-to-CPU throughput for fast access to peripheral devices and networking. Additionally, Intel is bringing forward and backward compatibility. Take advantage of 13th Gen Intel Core processor performance improvements with existing Intel 600 chipset-based motherboards.
The 13th Gen Intel Core desktop “K” processors and the Intel Z790 chipset will be available starting 20 October 2022, including boxed processors, motherboards and desktop system sales. Additional details on the rest of the 13th Gen Intel Core processor family will be shared at a later date.
