Product overview Intel’s Core i9-13900KF is a 13th‑gen “Raptor Lake” desktop CPU, released for retail on October 20, 2022, after being unveiled at Intel Innovation on September 27, 2022. Source tomshardware.com ↗
Positioned in the enthusiast tier, it exists for high‑end gaming and creator builds that need very high boost clocks plus many E‑cores for heavy multitasking. It offers 24 cores (8P+16E) and 32 threads with up to 5.8 GHz boost, an unlocked multiplier, LGA1700 support across 600‑ and 700‑series boards, PCIe 5.0/4.0, and DDR4 or DDR5 memory support; as a KF model it lacks integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is required. Not discontinued as of July 2026 (Intel ARK marketing status: Launched). Source ark.intel.com ↗
