Intel Core i7-13700F 2.1 GHz 30 MB, LGA 1700 - processor

The Intel Core i7-13700F is a 13th-generation desktop processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture. It features a hybrid core configuration comprising 8 Performance-cores and 8 Efficient-cores, totaling 16 physical cores and 24 threads. This architecture is designed to optimize workload distribution by assigning background tasks to efficient cores while prioritizing heavy applications on performance cores. The CPU utilizes the Intel LGA 1700 socket, making it compatible with both 600 and 700 series motherboards. Users must pair this processor with a discrete graphics card because the F-suffix indicates the absence of onboard graphics functionality.

The processor operates at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz and achieves a maximum boost frequency of 5.2 GHz for intensive tasks. It includes a 30 MB Intel Smart Cache to reduce data latency and improve processing efficiency in demanding software environments. Memory support extends to both DDR4 3200 MT/s and DDR5 5600 MT/s across dual channels, with a maximum capacity of 192 GB. The 65W thermal design power reflects its baseline energy consumption, and the boxed version includes a factory cooling solution. High-speed connectivity is provided through PCIe Gen 4.0 and 5.0 support for high-bandwidth storage and expansion cards.
