Go Beyond Performance
Find out what happens when already game-changing performance hybrid architecture1 gets built on. We’ve taken our technology to the peak level of performance and given Intel® Thread Director2 more cores to choose from, so you don’t have to choose or prioritize tasks. Just bask in faster multitask glory.

Share the Load
A CPU that shares the workload and wins the battle.
Your workload isn’t a single player game. That’s why our 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processor teams together even more of our ‘Performance’ and ‘Efficient’ cores. P-cores handle the boss-level tasks, like gameplay, animating, editing, and film making. E-cores cover you by picking off the smaller tasks in the background. And with the Intel® Thread Director, it doesn’t just mean you can switch smoothly between them, but you’ll always feel the power in your hands in every task you take on. Welcome to next level multitasking.
See the Difference Speed Makes
Fast forward to victory.
The power to keep up with the most demanding gameplay. The 13th Gen Intel Core processor has gone one step further in performance to make the most CPU-intensive titles a sprint–no matter what you’re running in the background. Thanks to more cores and more threads there are more possibilities. Live life in the fast game.
More average frames per second (FPS)
Best of all Worlds
More multitasking thanks to the fastest PC chip we’ve ever built.
Making multitasking the norm. Hyper-threading and 32 threads mean you can rush, while you stream, while you cut, while you mix, while you watch–without losing a scrap of power. It’s the edge you’ve always needed to take on more tasks. And Thanks to Intel® Turbo Boost Max 3.0 technology, the most suitable P-core will always be selected for your task. So, you can keep power and keep performing.
Improve your Lane Game
The road to less latency.
More dedicated high-speed channels help remove legacy interference and congestion, making ping a thing of the past.
Power-full Performance
Clock in with more speed.
We upped the power to up your performance. Uniting a base clock speed of 3.0 GHz, turbo-ing up to 5.8 GHz, unreal gameplay, faster memory speeds, non-existent load times and up to 36 MB of Intel® Smart Cache. It’s a silicon potion ready to increase your gaming power.
Winning Wi-Fi
No more ping or ports. Just gaming-grade wireless.
Feel the power of a triple threat. Three times faster connectivity5, ultra-low latency and optimal networking, give you the freedom to tackle your workload without fear of lag. All thanks to Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+).
It’s Overclock O’clock
Eke more from each type of core.
Overclocking6 is the power to get more power from your CPU. Supercharging your top clock speed to higher than its own factory limits, squeezing more performance from the same silicon, and giving you the freedom (and tools) to think “outside of the box settings”. Custom controls put finer-than-fine-tuning at anyone’s fingertips, letting you mould your CPU to the point where it feels like it was built for you, and overclock each type of core individually.
Unlocking’s easy. When you have the right set of keys.
- Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU) puts the outer limits of PC performance in reach of all, by bringing overclocking out of the BIOS and into Windows.
- Intel® XTU also gives you super granular core-by-core control, unlocking new possibilities.
- Intel® XTU now features Intel® Speed Optimizer, this new feature enabled within Intel Extreme Tuning Utility is designed to simplify overclocking. Intel® ISO changes the P-core and E-core frequency, voltage, and other parameters automatically.
- Intel® Dynamic Memory Boost and Real-Time Memory OC support take the guesswork out of memory overclocking, opening access to amazingly fast, more immersive gameplay through DDR5 and DDR4 memory.
- Advanced settings give you the ability to overclock P-cores and E-cores individually, as well as PCIe.
- Cryo cooling compatible, with built-in solder thermal interface material to keep the heat off when the pressure is on.
- Custom voltage controls, so you can tune your V/F curve to your precise needs, rather than defaulting to an artificially high setting.
RAM-ped up Gameplay
Step inside the game.
Thanks to support for DDR5, up to 5600MHz and support for 16 lanes of PCIe Gen 5, delivering more bandwidth than its Gen 4 equivalent–13th Gen is designed ready for the fastest, smoothest, richest way to play.
DDR4
up to 3200MHz
DDR5
up to 5600MHz
PCIe Gen 5
16 Lanes PCIe 5.0 plus 4 lanes of PCIe 4.0 off the CPU
Connect 4
Flexibility, bandwidth, and connectivity. Looks like thunder strikes more than once.
Compatible with multiple 4K monitors, straight out of the box. Plus, Thunderbolt™ 4 provides a single, universal port for your universe of peripherals, while helping to make sure data flows fast, with a bidirectional bandwidth of 40Gbps.
Caution: Beautiful Graphic Content
Beauty is in the eye of the mouse holder.
Intel UHD Graphics 770 driven by Xe Architecture supports up to 4 simultaneous displays, variable rate shading and deeper, more immersive media, and gives access to 8K stream content. If seeing is believing, this is a CPU that helps your GPU play true. And with Intel® Quick Sync Video your game will never drop detail, even while streaming and recording at the same time.
