Intel® Core™ i5-13600KF Desktop Processor 14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) 24M Cache, up to 5.1 GHz

Product Information

Based on our evaluation, the 13600KF's 5.10 GHz single-core max turbo boost frequency is excellent for performance overall. You can maintain these frequencies with a high-end cooler. Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics only: to use the Intel® Iris® Xe brand, the system must be populated with 128-bit (dual channel) memory. Otherwise, use the Intel® UHD brand. If you're only planning to stream shows, use office apps, or browse the internet, you won't need a top-end CPU to get good performance. The most important CPU capability for general app usage is the single-core max boost frequency. Based on our evaluation of using AMD's Ryzen 5 7600 CPU for general apps, you can expect excellent app performance with a high-performance CPU cooler. Based on our evaluation of using Intel's Core i5-13600KF CPU for gaming, you can expect good game performance with a high-performance CPU cooler.

Professional tools are often well optimized to use many cores. CPU cores allow tools to parallelize processing tasks. Increasing the number of cores can divide the time required to process a task if the tool has good multi-threading support.

Intel® Volume Management Device (VMD)

Boost frequencies are only achieved under ideal circumstances. However, with adequate cooling, you may be able to maintain speeds near the max boost frequency. Intel's Core i5-13600KF CPUs have 6 Performance cores (P-cores) and 8 Efficiency cores (E-cores) for a total of 14 cores. Our team is composed of individuals who have a keen interest in technology and a passion for helping others. We strive to provide accurate and helpful information on various technology products and services to empower our readers to make informed decisions. Its 8 Efficiency cores have a 2.60 GHz base frequency and support a 3.90 GHz max turbo boost frequency.

The Intel Core i5-13600KF's 6 Performance cores have a 3.50 GHz base frequency and support a 5.10 GHz max turbo boost frequency. Processors that support 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture require an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS.Intel i5 13600KF Fourteen Core Processor, Up to 32GB DDR4 Memory, GeForce RTX 3070Ti, Digital RGB for customisable visuals, Choice of braided cable colours, WIFI 6, Bluetooth, Genuine Windows 11 Home Based around the epic gaming CPU, the new Intel 13th Generation Core i5 13600KF, the Tritium is a true multi-disciplined gaming PC. Gaming and Streaming, Content Creation, it does it all and it does it well! Based on our evaluation, the 13600KF's 5.10 GHz max turbo boost frequency of the Performance cores is excellent for performance overall. P-core turbo boost frequencies can be maintained with a high-end cooler. The Core i5-13600K delivers 14-cores compared to last year’s Core i5-12600K with 10-cores. While those extra four cores are all E-cores, the turbo increases to 5.1GHz (vs. 4.9GHz) while the P-core base speed drops to 3.5GHz (vs. 3.7GHz).
