16-Core Raptor Lake Processor

This 13th Gen Core i7 desktop processor uses the LGA 1700 socket and a 10nm Raptor Lake architecture. It delivers 16 cores split into 8 performance and 8 efficient cores with 24 threads total. Base frequencies are 3.4 GHz for P-cores and 2.5 GHz for E-cores. The unit is sold as a refurbished processor without integrated graphics.

Suits Multi-Threaded Workloads

The 24-thread design and 125W thermal rating make this CPU appropriate for content creation, heavy multitasking and gaming paired with a discrete graphics card. Builders who need onboard video output or a lower power envelope should consider alternatives. A separate cooling solution is required as none is included in the package.

LGA 1700 Socket Compatibility

This processor fits only motherboards with the LGA 1700 socket and a chipset that supports 13th Gen Intel Core series. It runs DDR5 5600 or DDR4 3200 memory in dual-channel mode up to 128 GB with ECC support. Verify board compatibility and BIOS revision before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much power and heat does the 125 W TDP generate during sustained all-day workloads?

The processor has a 125 W base power rating; sustained loads will draw near that level and require a cooler rated for at least 125 W to maintain temperatures.

Which separate cooler must I already own because the box contains no cooling device?

No cooler is included; you need an LGA 1700 compatible air or liquid cooler rated for 125 W TDP or higher.

Will my existing DDR4 3200 memory work alongside this CPU without replacement?

Yes, the memory controller supports DDR4 3200 in dual-channel mode up to 128 GB total capacity.
