Intel’s 13th generation Core i3 13100 processor, which has been rumored for weeks, has finally surfaced. We see that the processor displayed in CPU-Z comes with a quad-core design, confirming the previous information, but this processor does not have cores that Intel calls E-Core.The Core i3 13100 consists of four cores and eight threads in total. But more importantly, this processor will not feature E-Core (efficiency-oriented cores), also called Gracemont. The Core i3 13100, which has the same cache structure as the Alder Lake Core i3 12100 with its 12 MB L3 and 5 MB L2 design, operates at 3.41 GHz as the base frequency. However, it should be noted that these values may change in the final version of the processor.

However, the Core i3 13100 will essentially be the only 60W processor in Intel’s new processor family. However, rumor has it that this processor may be a refresh of the 12th generation Core i3 12100. Because both the core design and the cache design, the features of the previous generation are preserved in the same way. The only visible difference for now is the 100 MHz increase in the core speed.
What the Core i3 13100, which will be located around 100 dollars, will offer in terms of performance will continue to be a matter of curiosity for now. On the other hand, this processor will be one of the appropriate choices for entry-level gaming computers. Finally, it should be noted that there is no release date for the Core i3 13100 yet.
