Intel Core i5-13500 BX8071513500 desktop processor

14-core desktop CPU for LGA 1700

The Intel Core i5-13500 is a 14-core desktop processor with 6 performance cores and 8 efficient cores delivering 20 threads. It runs at a P-core base of 2.5 GHz and an E-core base of 1.8 GHz with maximum turbo frequencies up to 4.8 GHz and 3.5 GHz respectively. The chip includes 24 MB L3 cache and integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770.

Check LGA 1700 socket and 154 W turbo cooling

Verify that your motherboard uses the LGA 1700 socket and that its BIOS supports 13th generation Intel Core processors. The processor base power is 65 W but maximum turbo power reaches 154 W so your cooler and case airflow must handle that heat load. No cooling device is included in the box. Ensure your power supply can deliver sufficient current for the platform.

Suits mixed workloads with integrated graphics

This CPU suits builders who need strong multi-threaded performance for productivity and gaming while using the integrated UHD 770 graphics for display output or Quick Sync. It supports both DDR4 3200 and DDR5 4800 memory in dual-channel up to 128 GB with ECC capability. Buyers needing higher single-thread clocks, more PCIe lanes or a bundled cooler should consider other options.
