Intel® Core™ i5-13600KF

The Intel Core i5-13600KF is a desktop processor with a hybrid 14-core layout (6 performance cores + 8 efficiency cores) and 20 threads, built on the Raptor Lake architecture (Intel 7 process). It launched in Oct 2022. Clocks run from 3.5 GHz base to 5.1 GHz boost. A 24-MB L3 cache backs the cores (3.2 MB per core). It addresses DDR5, DDR4 memory up to 192 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1700 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (20 lanes). Rated TDP is 125 W. Notable platform capabilities: Deep Learning Boost, AVX-VNNI, Extended Page Tables (EPT), AES-NI.

The Intel Core i5-13600KF scores 4,111 in single-core performance and 37,306 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 12,384 for overall performance, 30,004 for productivity performance, 27,918 for creator performance, 41,736 for engineering performance and 21,660 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,665 per core, 1,865 per thread and 298 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,108. Its performance index is 153, so its overall performance is 53% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i5-13600KF scores 121,939 in integer math, 90,197 in floating-point math, 472,987 in compression, 26,866 in cryptography, 2,202 in physics simulation, 28,691 in vector SIMD, 149 in the prime sieve and 50,756 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 107% above in integer math, 97% above in floating-point math, 107% above in compression, 134% above in cryptography, 102% above in physics simulation, 85% above in vector SIMD, 122% above in the prime sieve and 124% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i5-13600KF has 14 physical cores and runs 20 logical threads. It uses a hybrid layout of 6 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores. It runs at a base clock of 3.50 GHz and boosts up to 5.10 GHz.

The Intel Core i5-13600KF is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i5 family, uses the Raptor Lake architecture, carries the codename Raptor Lake and is manufactured on a Intel 7 process. It launched in Oct 2022.

The Intel Core i5-13600KF has 1.22 MB of L1 cache, 20 MB of L2 cache and 24 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 45.2 MB of cache, or 3.23 MB per core.

The Intel Core i5-13600KF has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 1.2 MB, L2 at 20 MB and L3 at 24 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 53% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core i5-13600KF supports DDR5, DDR4 memory, addresses up to 192 GB of memory, uses 2 memory channels, runs memory at up to 5,600 MT/s and delivers up to 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support LPDDR memory.

The Intel Core i5-13600KF does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Core i5-13600KF uses the FCLGA1700 socket, supports PCI Express 5.0 and provides up to 20 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Core i5-13600KF has a rated TDP of 125 W.
