24-core hybrid architecture

The Intel Core i9-13900K delivers 24 cores split into 8 performance cores and 16 efficient cores for 32 threads. It targets desktop builders who need high multi-threaded throughput for rendering, compilation or heavy multitasking. The LGA 1700 socket fits current 600- and 700-series motherboards with a BIOS update. A 125 W base power rating sets the cooling requirement for sustained workloads.

Maximum turbo frequency 5.7 GHz

The single highest clock available on this processor is 5.7 GHz via Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, reachable on one favoured performance core when thermal and power headroom allow. All other turbo limits (5.4 GHz on a single P-core, 4.3 GHz on a single E-core) sit below that ceiling. If your workload depends on peak single-thread speed, this 5.7 GHz figure is the specification to verify against your cooling solution and motherboard power delivery.

Integrated UHD Graphics 770

The on-die Intel UHD Graphics 770 provides a display output without a discrete GPU, useful for troubleshooting, secondary monitors or light media playback. It supports DDR4-3200 and DDR5-5600 memory in dual-channel mode up to 128 GB total capacity. ECC memory support is also present when paired with a compatible motherboard, adding data-integrity options for workstation tasks.

Questions about this item

Does this CPU fit my current LGA 1700 motherboard?

Yes, the processor uses the LGA 1700 socket. Ensure your motherboard BIOS supports 13th Gen Core i9 CPUs and has a VRM rated for 125 W base power.

What memory kits can I install without overclocking?

The controller runs DDR4 at 3200 MT/s and DDR5 at 5600 MT/s natively. Two-channel kits up to 128 GB total are supported; ECC modules work if the motherboard enables ECC.

Can I use the integrated graphics for a second display while a discrete card drives the main one?

Yes, the UHD Graphics 770 iGPU is active alongside a discrete GPU. Enable iGPU multi-monitor in BIOS, connect the extra display to the motherboard video output, and install the Intel graphics driver.
