Intel Core i3-13100 BX8071513100 desktop processor

Refurbished 13th Gen Core i3-13100

This refurbished Intel Core i3-13100 is a quad-core desktop processor built on the Raptor Lake architecture. It delivers four performance cores and eight threads with a 3.4 GHz base frequency and a 4.5 GHz maximum turbo frequency. The chip includes 12 MB of L3 cache and 5 MB of L2 cache. It fits LGA 1700 motherboards and ships without a cooling device.

Ideal for budget builds, not heavy multitasking

The processor suits entry-level office PCs, home-theatre rigs and light gaming systems that rely on integrated Intel UHD Graphics 730. It supports dual-channel DDR4-3200 or DDR5-4800 memory up to 128 GB and provides twenty PCI Express lanes across revisions 5.0, 4.0 and 3.0. Builders needing more than four cores or higher sustained throughput should consider a Core i5 or i7 alternative.

60 W base power defines cooling needs

Processor base power is rated at 60 W while maximum turbo power reaches 89 W, so a cooler rated for at least that turbo level is required. The box contains the processor only, so the builder must supply a compatible LGA 1700 thermal solution. This power envelope makes the chip practical for compact chassis with adequate airflow.
