Intel introduced its 13th Gen 65W processors at CES 2023!

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 Gen 65W Raptor Lake processor family appear as desktop models with lower TDP. Up to 5.6GHz, these CPUs have both more cores and larger L2 caches, 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, PCIe Gen 5.0 and has 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 Core i7-13700 65/35W CPU Series

The i7-13700 model in this series has 16 cores, 32 threads, 30 MB L3 cache, 2.1-5 GHz frequency, PCIe Gen 5.0 and DDR5-5600 memory support. This model is sold at a retail price of $ 384, while the i7-13700F model has a price tag of $ 359. The Core i7-13700T model, on the other hand, comes at 1.4-4.9 GHz and draws attention with its price of 384 dollars.

• 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.

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 inflationary 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 be kept in mind that synthetic tests may differ with daily use.

Unfortunately, rising costs and problems in the supply chain brought along the price increase. As you can see, almost every model in the Intel 13th Gen 65W processor family has increased in price by more than 10 percent.
