Having been struggling with AMD for a while, Intel quickly recovered and made a legendary comeback. Having achieved good success with the 12th and 13th Generation processors, the company decided to crown its success by expanding its product family. Attending CES 2023 in Las Vegas, Intel introduced the 65W members of the 13th Generation processor family. Here are the details…
Features of Intel 13th Gen 65W processors
The 13th Generation 65W Raptor Lake processor family comes out as desktop models with lower TDP than standard models. Up to 5.6GHz, these CPUs have both more cores and a larger L2 cache, offering up to 34 percent performance improvement over the previous generation.
The new CPUs range from i3 to high-end Core i9 families and come with more cores and higher frequency compared to the previous generation. One of the biggest pluses is the backward compatibility of the 13th Gen 65W processors, supporting DDR5 systems as well as DDR4 memory. Some of the prominent features of the processors are as follows:
Intel Core i9-13900 65/35W CPU Series
The Intel Core i9-13900 65/35W CPU series is positioned in the upper segment as always. The i9-13900 model in this series, 24 cores, 32 threads, 36 MB L3 cache, maximum frequency up to 5.6 GHz, 20 PCIe Gen It has 5.0 lanes and DDR5 memory support. This model retails for $549, while the i9-13900F model has a $524 price tag. The Core i9-13900T model comes with a base frequency of 1.1 GHz and a maximum frequency of 5.3 GHz. The selling price is over $549.
- Intel i9: 11% faster performance of mainstream applications 8 more E-cores and up to 18MB more L2 cache Intel Thermal Velocity Boost.
- Intel i7: Up to maximum Turbo frequency 5.2GHz 4 more E-cores and up to 12MB more L2 cache Support for Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0.
- Intel i5: 39% better performance in multitasking 8 more E-cores and up to 4MB more L2 cache Performance Hybrid Architecture.
| Intel 13th Gen 65W vs. 120W | Expected prices | Core(P+V) | GHz | E-Core | Cache (L2/L3) | TDP / PBP / MTP | Memory |
| Core i9-13900K / KF | $589 – $564 | 24/32 (8+16) | 3.0/5.8 | 2.2 / 4.3 | 68MB (32+36) | 125W / 253W | DDR4-3200 / DDR5-5600 |
| Core i9-13900 / F | $549 – $529 | 24/32 (8+16) | 2.0 / 5.6 | 1.5 / 4.2 | 68MB (32+36) | 65W / 219W | DDR4-3200 / DDR5-5600 |
| Core i7-13700K/KF | 409$- 384$ | 16 / 24 (8+8) | 3.4 / 5.4 | 2.5 / 4.2 | 54MB (24+30) | 125W / 253W | DDR4-3200 / DDR5-5600 |
| Core i7-13700 / F | $384 – $359 | 16 / 24 (8+8) | 2.1 / 5.2 | 1.5 / 4.1 | 54MB (24+30) | 65W / 219W | DDR4-3200 / DDR5-5600 |
13th Gen 65W processors vs 13th Gen 125W processors
Prices are also up 10 percent compared to the previous generation. You’ll now pay $54 more for the ü i9 and $49 more for the Core i7 model. Unfortunately, this increase will be felt much more in our country due to the increasing dollar exchange rate and inflation-related costs.
Intel made some performance tests this year, as it does every year. Considering the increased core numbers, frequencies and other features of the models in question, it seems that there is an improvement of 11 to 34 percent. However, it should not be forgotten that synthetic tests may show differences with daily use.
