13th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors. Delivering Superior Performance Where You Need it Most.
Take the next evolutionary leap with the performance hybrid architecture of 13th Generation Intel® Core™ processors. Get the performance you need, where you need it—whether you’re a gamer, creator, streamer, or everyday user. Whatever you’re into, do more of it, whenever you want.
Superior Performance When You Need it*. Multitasking Like You’ve Always Wanted
13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors—a generation like no other before it. With unprecedented new performance hybrid architecture, 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors offer a unique combination of Performance and Efficient-cores (P-core and E-core). And that means real-world performance, intuitively scaled to match whatever you’re doing1.
The Performance-core is Intel’s highest performing CPU core ever. And it’s designed to maximize single-thread performance and responsiveness for compute intensive workloads like gaming and 3D design. The Efficient-core delivers multithreaded performance for tasks that can run in parallel (like image rendering), along with efficient offload of background tasks for modern multitasking.
So that Performance-cores and Efficient-cores can work seamlessly with the operating system, Intel built Intel® Thread Director right into the hardware2. Automatically monitoring and analyzing on-the-fly, Intel® Thread Director guides the operating system, helping it place the right thread on the right core, at the right time. And it does it all dynamically, adapting scheduling guidance based on actual computing needs, not on static rules.
13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors support the next wave of discrete graphics cards and storage devices. These devices take advantage of increased throughput coming with PCIe 5.0 as well the higher speeds and bandwidth of DDR5 memory.
Another standard feature of 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors: Intel® Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+). Offering exclusive, high-speed channels that other legacy devices simply can’t, Intel® Wi-Fi 6E lets you experience nearly 3x faster connectivity without the interference3. And that means more freedom to work or learn from home—or relax with super-smooth, high-quality streaming.
You can also connect your PC to multiple 4K monitors and other accessories, all with one reversible cable. The 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processor family—our most innovative platform yet—enables Thunderbolt™ 4, the simplest, fastest, most reliable port available4.
With 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, standard, built-in features enable capabilities like noise suppression, auto-framing, and optimization for bandwidth and video resolution while gaming3. That saves you time and lets you multitask in ways you’ve only ever dreamed of—until now.
From epic gaming to browsing to streaming to creating your next masterpiece, 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors make it all entirely doable.

Frequently Asked Questions About 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors
Define Performance-cores and Efficient-cores.
Performance-cores (P-cores):
- Optimized to handle single & lightly threaded performance.
- Enhance gaming and productivity workload.
Efficient-cores (E-cores):
- Optimized to handle scaling highly threaded workloads.
- Minimize interruptions from background task management.
What is Intel® Thread Director?
Intel® Thread Director sends the right workload to the right core at the right time. It helps prioritize and manage the distribution of workloads, sending tasks to the most optimized thread. This new feature is on by default and works in tandem with the operating system for intelligent workload distribution. To get the full capabilities of Intel Thread Director, pair a select 13th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processor with Windows2 7 8.
What are the new overclocking features?
Processor Core Overclocking:
- Users can overclock both Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores) to maximize performance.
