Intel Core i9-13900K Processor (36M Cache, up to 5.80 GHz)

The 13th generation desktop processor builds upon the Hybrid Core architecture and Intel 7 process, incorporating 24 cores—eight more than its predecessor—into a single processor while retaining compatibility with the LGA 1700 socket. Designed for exceptional performance, the Core i9-13900K is equipped with 16 low-voltage Efficient-cores to efficiently manage background tasks during multitasking, complemented by eight 3 GHz Performance-cores that provide the necessary speed for demanding applications and games. The integrated Intel Thread Director ensures seamless cooperation between these core types, dynamically and intelligently assigning workloads to the most suitable core at the right moment.

Featuring a substantial 32MB cache and a 5.7 GHz Turbo Boost Max 3.0 frequency that can be further increased through Thermal Velocity Boost and Adaptive Boost technologies, this processor is engineered to handle a wide range of workloads. Enthusiasts can also overclock the processor for even more significant performance gains. Notably, the Core i9-13900K supports PCI Express 5.0 and dual-channel DDR5 ECC memory running at a swift 5600 MHz.

The Core i9-13900K includes integrated Intel UHD 770 Graphics. Please note that a thermal solution is not included. This processor is backed by a 3-year warranty.

Key Features: Hybrid Core Design: The processor's hybrid core configuration dedicates Performance-cores to manage high-end games and resource-intensive applications, while Efficient-cores handle lower-priority and background tasks, ensuring smooth multitasking.

Intel Thread Director: Embedded within the CPU's cores, the Intel Thread Director collaborates with the operating system to efficiently allocate each of the 32 threads to the most suitable core as required.

PCIe 4.0 & 5.0: This processor supports up to four PCIe 4.0 lanes and an impressive sixteen PCIe 5.0 lanes, providing a total of 20 lanes for exceptional data throughput when used with compatible devices.

Thermal Velocity Boost: Intel Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) is a technology that unlocks additional CPU performance by pushing the maximum frequency to 5.8 GHz when thermal headroom and turbo power budget are available. This is ideal for burst workloads with sudden spikes in CPU utilization, offering a temporary performance boost to prevent slowdowns.

Adaptive Boost: Intel Adaptive Boost Technology opportunistically increases the all-core turbo frequency beyond previous Turbo Boost clock speeds, even when Thermal Velocity Boost conditions aren't met. This is beneficial for multi-threaded programs that scale with multiple cores, including many games. It can also enhance multitasking, such as gaming, streaming, and using different applications simultaneously.

Integrated Graphics: Powered by Intel Xe architecture, the integrated Intel UHD 770 Graphics delivers fast and rich 3D performance for high-quality visuals, supporting either one 7680 x 4320 resolution 8K monitor or up to four 3840 x 2160 resolution 4K displays with high-dynamic range.

Intel Deep Learning Boost: Accelerates AI inference, enhancing performance for deep learning workloads.

Gaussian & Neural Accelerator 3.0: Gaussian and Neural Accelerator 3.0 (GNA) technology improves noise suppression and enhances background blurring during video chats, enhancing the quality of video calls.
