Power up your productivity, gaming, and content creation with the Intel Core i5-13600K 3.5 GHz 14-Core LGA 1700 Processor. This 13th generation desktop processor builds upon the Hybrid Core architecture and Intel 7 process by fitting 14 cores— four more than the previous generation— onto a single processor while still supporting the LGA 1700 socket. Designed to provide strong performance for everyday tasks, the Core i5-13600K features eight low-voltage Efficient-cores that handle background tasks for multitasking while the six 3.5 GHz Performance-cores power applications and games. The built-in Intel Thread Director ensures that the two work seamlessly together by dynamically and intelligently assigning workloads to the right core at the right time.

With 24MB of cache and a 5.1 GHz Turbo Boost Max 2.0 frequency, this processor is made to handle a variety of applications. You can also overclock this processor for even greater performance. The Core i5-13600K also supports PCI Express 5.0 and dual-channel DDR5 ECC memory at 5600 MHz.

The Core i5-13600K features integrated Intel UHD 770 Graphics. Please note that a thermal solution is NOT included. This processor is backed by a 3-year warranty.

Performance-cores provide the speed to handle high-end games and demanding applications while low-priority and background tasks are handled by the processor's Efficient-cores for multitasking.

The Intel Thread Director is built into the CPU's cores, working with the operating system to ensure each of the 20 threads are assigned to the right core at the right time.

This processor supports up to four PCIe 4.0 and sixteen PCIe 5.0 lanes, delivering 20 lanes in total for exceptional data throughput with compatible devices.

Driven by Intel Xe architecture, the integrated Intel UHD 770 Graphics delivers fast, rich 3D performance for high-quality visuals with support for either one 7680 x 4320 resolution 8K monitor or up to four 3840 x 2160 resolution 4K displays with high-dynamic range.

Gaussian and Neural Accelerator 3.0 (GNA) technology helps with noise suppression while enhancing background blurring during video chats.

Accelerates AI inference to improve performance for deep learning workloads.
