Beyond Performance
It’s time to punch above your frame rate. Our new boundary-smashing architecture redefines what it means to game and create on a laptop. Multi-threaded performance and more cores tackle the tasks that matter, so you can take on more without losing an inch of power. A laptop without limitations.

Work and Play
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™ processor1 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 Intel® Thread Director2, you can smoothly and automatically switch between them, so you’ll always feel the power in your hands in every task you take on. Welcome to next level multitasking.

A Laptop Bursting at the Seams
XL performance from streamlined hardware.
What happens when you combine a base clock speed of 2.2GHz, turbo-ing at 5.6GHz, increased IPC, up to four SSDs, 128GB of RAM, and up to 32TB of storage? You’re hit with smoother-than-smooth gameplay, bigger performance, less lag, and no more reliance on the cloud. It’s all the power that you would expect from a tower–but in a laptop.
Multi-Versed
The only choice for multiple tasks in multiple locations thanks to multiple cores.
Don’t feel fixed to any place or any one task. You can clutch while you stream, while you cut, while you mix, while you watch–without losing a scrap of power. Our hybrid technology with Thread Director means that gaming and creating get the power (and E-cores) they deserve–so being a Jack of all trades is faster than a master of one.
The Power of Anywhere
Your home studio. To go. (And go and go.)
Get a new lease of battery life with Power Sharing–giving you more power when you need it most. Edit in any environment and produce without a pause. Whenever - and wherever. 13th Gen matches heavyweight performance with hard-working endurance, so creativity doesn’t have to be locked to a desk. Or a desktop.
Make Your Ethernet Jealous
Get gaming-grade wireless with Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6E.
Make high ping a thing of the past. Minimal packet loss and more dedicated high-speed lanes reduce interference and cut latency by up to 75%5.
Your First Port of Call
Flexibility, bandwidth, and connectivity. Looks like thunder strikes more than once.
One simple, universal port. Compatible with multiple 4K monitors, straight out of the box. Offering bidirectional bandwidth up to 40Gb/s. And with the addition of Thunderbolt™ 4 dock, you can even:
Increase the number of devices that you connect to your laptop.
Connect to high performance devices and use them at their intended speeds without overloading the port’s capacity.
Keep your space organized wherever you game, with a dock that connects directly to the laptop itself.
Relocate by simply detaching one cable and you’re free to go, no matter how many devices you’re connected to.

Product and Performance Information
Performance hybrid architecture combines two core microarchitectures, Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores), on a single processor die first introduced on 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors. Select 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors do not have performance hybrid architecture, only P-cores, and have same cache size as prior generation; see ark.intel.com for SKU details.
Built into the hardware, Intel® Thread Director is provided only in performance hybrid architecture configurations of 12th Gen or newer Intel® Core™ processors; OS enablement is required. Available features and functionality vary by OS.
Visit intel.com/performanceindex for workloads and configurations. Results may vary.
Performance varies by use, configuration and other factors. Learn more at www.Intel.com/PerformanceIndex. Performance results are based on testing as of dates shown in configurations and may not reflect all publicly available updates. See backup for configuration details. No product or component can be absolutely secure.
Up to 75% Latency reduction: Is based on Intel simulation data (79%) of 802.11ax with and without OFDMA using 9 clients. Average latency without OFDM is 36ms, with OFDMA average latency is reduced to 7.6ms. Latency improvement requires that the 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) router and all clients support OFDMA.
