Product overview
Launched in Q1 2023 as part of Intel’s 13th‑gen “Raptor Lake” desktop lineup, the Core i7‑13700 targets the LGA1700 platform. Intel now lists the boxed i7‑13700 as retired and discontinued.
Positioned in the high_end tier, it exists to offer i9‑class core counts at a 65 W base power without K‑series overclocking. It brings 16 cores (8P+8E) and 24 threads, 2.1–5.2 GHz clocks, and Intel UHD Graphics 770, with DDR4 or DDR5 support on 600‑ and 700‑series motherboards. It’s a strong choice for 1080p/1440p gaming while handling streaming, video editing, and other productivity, though the multiplier is locked. Discontinued; retirement date not specified by Intel.
