The Intel Core i3-13100 has passed CPU-Z and thanks to that we could know all its key specifications. We know that this chip will retain the same approach as the Core i3-12100, which means that it will be configured with 4 high performance cores and 8 threadsand that it will have 5 MB of L2 cache and 12 MB of L3 cache. TDP will theoretically be 60 watts.

This new chip will feature a Integrated Intel Xe Gen12 GPU, although their operating frequencies are not clear, as the CPU-Z image contains some values ​​that will obviously not be definitive. This suggests that the unit that passed said application would be an engineering sample of the Core i3-13100. In its final version, it should work at least at 4.3 GHz in turbo mode.

As with the Core i3-12100 (Alder Lake-S), we expect the Core i3-13100 to have the “F” version, which will ship with the iGPU disabled and whose price will be much lower. It should be a worthy successor to the Core i3-12100F, a processor that became one of the best on the market in its price category, especially when it was available for just over 105 euros.

Above it will be the Core i5-13400, Core i5-13500 and Core i5-13600, three processors that will have different core and thread configurations although they are all in the Core i5 range. These will theoretically be its specs:

• Intel Core i5-13400: six P cores and four E cores, 16 threads, a frequency of 4.6 GHz in turbo mode, 29.5 MB of total cache and a TDP of 65 watts.
• Intel Core i5-13500: six P cores and eight E cores, 20 threads, a turbo frequency of 4.7 GHz, a total cache of 35.5 MB and a TDP of 65 watts.
• Intel Core i5-13600: six P cores and eight E cores, 20 threads, a turbo frequency of 4.8 GHz, a total cache of 35.5 MB and a TDP of 65 watts.

These processors will form the “non-K” line of next-generation Intel Raptor Lake-S, which will arrive after the launch of the K models, which is scheduled for the end of this month. I remind you of that will be compatible with LGA1200 motherboards with 600 series chipset and will support DDR4 and DDR5. This means that a user who has, for example, a Core i3-12100F and wants to upgrade to a Core i5-13400F will be able to do so without having to change the motherboard or RAM.

Selling prices have not been released yet, but I think it’s likely which are ultimately similar to those of Core Gen12 equivalents at the time of its launch.
