Intel · Core i3 · 2023 · LGA1700
The Intel Core i3-13100 is a desktop processor with 4 cores, released in 2023 at an MSRP of $134. It is part of the Core i3 lineup, using the 13th Gen platform, and fits the LGA1700 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Raptor Lake" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 8 threads for improved parallelism. The Core i3-13100 has a base clock of 3.4 GHz and can boost up to 4.5 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Raptor Lake" silicon on a Intel 7 process node. Its multiplier is locked, so any overclocking has to come from raising the base clock rather than the multiplier. This processor supports DDR4/DDR5 memory. With a TDP of 60W, the Core i3-13100 is an efficient chip suitable for modest cooling solutions. Integrated graphics are provided by the UHD 730 solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy consists of 80KB/core of L1, 5MB of L2, and 12MB of L3 cache.
An entry-level Raptor Lake chip built entirely from P-cores (no E-cores), giving it 4 cores and 8 threads with clock speeds closer to the mid-range i5 lineup than typical entry-level parts. A popular budget-gaming pick thanks to its high per-core clock speed.
