Not only can solution providers and their customers benefit from higher single-thread, multithread, graphics, and AI performance,3 but they also benefit from platform flexibility in the latest 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processor platform for the IoT edge. This generation provides access to a full lineup of 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and Platform Controller Hubs (PCHs) that run the IoT software stack. 13th Gen is also LGA socket compatible with the prior generation, enabling businesses to easily upgrade their systems. You can provide more L2 and L3 cache, up to DDR5-5600 memory, and PCIe 5.0 connectivity, with Intel® Time Coordinated Computing (Intel® TCC) and Intel vPro®-eligible support on select SKUs.

Run More Simultaneous Apps, Workloads, and Connected Devices

13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors for the IoT edge are the top choice to maximize performance, memory, and I/O in edge deployments. Up to 24 cores and up to 32 threads with performance hybrid architecture1 on Intel® 7 process technology drive fast single- and multithread performance. Performance hybrid architecture1 is available on Intel® Core™ i9, i7, and now i5 SKUs, providing more access to this efficiency-boosting design innovation. This generation also features more L2 and L3 cache on select SKUs, enabling finer control over workload prioritization.

Drive Consolidation and Support Advanced Applications with DDR5-5600 Memory and PCIe 5.0

Up to DDR5-5600 memory and up to PCIe 5.0 connectivity mean providers can engineer powerful next-generation solutions capable of supporting emerging use cases and preparing for future ones. Up to 16 lanes of PCIe 5.0 and four lanes of PCIe 4.0 on the CPU enable configurations with more external accelerators or plugin cards per socket. The PCH options include up to 12 lanes of PCIe 4.0 and up to 16 lanes of PCIe 3.0 for additional expansion flexibility. 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processor–based systems can move and process high volumes of data fast, with greater I/O density to support hardware consolidation and cost-efficient deployments.

Accelerate Video Processing for Visual Experiences, Video Walls, and Graphics- Intensive Apps

Integrated graphics create new opportunities for visually rich experiences and graphics-enhanced controls while reducing dependency on discrete graphics hardware. 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors featuring Intel® UHD Graphics 770 driven by Intel® Xe architecture4—with up to 32 graphics execution units (EUs)—deliver fast graphics performance. Four display pipes of 4K60 HDR video, up to three multiformat codec (MFX) engines—up to 2x video decode and 1x video encode—and Genlock and Pipelock support video walls, digital signage, and processing for multiple video streams.

Support Real-Time-Capable Deployments, Embedded Use Conditions, and Wi-Fi 6E4

Several of the featured technologies in the 13th Gen platform are designed to support industrial and telecommunications applications that demand more reliability, bounded-latency workloads, and robust wireless connectivity. Select SKUs of 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors support Intel® TCC and Time- Sensitive Networking (TSN) capability with integrated, real-time-capable 2x 2.5GbE connections. Select SKUs also bring support for embedded use conditions and discrete Intel® Wi-Fi 6E connectivity and are Intel vPro® eligible for flexible deployments. These featured technologies are especially useful where wired connections or physical access to a device is otherwise inconvenient or costly.

Boost Intelligence for AI Operations with Hardware Acceleration

AI builders have come to rely on hardware-enabled AI acceleration powered by Intel® Deep Learning Boost (Intel® DL Boost) with VNNI, and this generation continues to deliver on this proven innovation. In combination with high core counts and integrated graphics, 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors provide fast image classification performance. Support for the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit also brings greater optimization for AI training and inference workloads, making it easier to develop and deploy AI projects with fast time to value.

Help Protect Workloads with Integrated Security Capabilities at the Hardware Level

For Windows devices, 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors support Intel® Total Memory Encryption (Intel® TME), which delivers end-to-end encryption for workloads at rest and in flight, including critical IP such as credentials and keys in memory. Intel® Boot Guard also helps enable a root of trust by verifying platform integrity on startup and helps prevent below-the-OS attacks.

Maximize the Value of Investments While Minimizing the Impact of Software Updates

IoT SKUs support Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 Long- Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) and EFLOW to help reduce the impact of software updates with longer, more- convenient intervals between releases. To help ensure supply chain stability through lengthy certification cycles, select SKUs also feature IoT long-life availability.5
