Intel Core i9-13900
Intel's locked 65 W Raptor Lake desktop processor for LGA1700: 24 cores (8 performance, 16 efficient) and 32 threads, up to 5.6 GHz, 36 MB of L3 cache and integrated UHD Graphics 770, launched in early 2023 alongside the 13th Gen non-K line.
Pros
- 24 cores (8 P-cores, 16 E-cores) and 32 threads with boost up to 5.6 GHz
- 65 W base power, well below the 125 W of the unlocked Core i9-13900K
- Supports both DDR5-5600 and DDR4-3200 memory on LGA1700 boards
- Integrated UHD Graphics 770 allows use without a discrete graphics card
Cons
- Turbo power reaches 219 W, so it still needs a capable cooler and motherboard power delivery
- LGA1700 platform with a dead-end upgrade path
- Launch price of $549 is high for a locked processor
Very good
