News and articles for the Intel Core i9-13900K
Intel Microcode 0x129 Update increases the voltage and cpu temperature on my i5-13600K!
Posted by Stefan on 2024-09-09
I would like to share my experiences with the latest Intel microcode update (0x129) with you. After updating to the latest BIOS version of my mainboard, not only was the latest microcode active, but the BIOS now has an Intel Baseline Profile, which sets or limits certain voltage and power supply settings in the BIOS. I compare the results with the older microcode 0x104, which still can also be set in the new BIOS.
How to check if your Intel 13/14 gen cpu is affected by instability problems
Posted by Stefan on 2024-08-02
Maybe you have heard of problems with Intels Raptor Lake CPUs (13/14 Gen Intel Core i) that have degradation problems due to high voltage and therefore can crash in some situations like gaming. We show you an easy way to check if your cpu is affected by using Intels own Processor Diagnostic Tool.
AMD Ryzen 7000 and Intel Core i 13 Gen at almost 6 GHz clock speed
Posted by Stefan on 2022-08-29
In September, both AMD and Intel are introducing their new mainstream desktop processors. It doesn't seem to have been as close as this year for a long time, leaked benchmarks of the new top models from AMD and Intel point to a head-to-head race.
This year even the 6 GHz clock limit is almost within reach. With a good cooler and some overclocking it should be possible to reach the 6 GHz limit. But even in series production, the manufacturers try to realize the highest possible clock frequency, at least on one core.

Intel Core i7-13700K could debut with 16 cores and 24 threads
Posted by Stefan on 2022-07-20
According to an internal Intel slide published at the end of last year, the Intel Core i7-13700K could have 8+8, i.e. 16 CPU cores that provide 24 threads. The interesting thing about the slide is that it was recently confirmed by newer leaks of the Intel Core i9-13900K and the Intel Core i5-13600K as the number of cores and also the size of the cache matches with recently published CPU-Z screenshots of alleged development models.
Description of the processor
With 24 CPU cores and 32 threads, the Intel Core i9-13900K is currently the largest and fastest processor for Intels LGA 1700 socket. Compared to its predecessor, the Intel Core i9-12900K, the Intel Core i9-13900K has twice the number of efficient cores (16 instead of 8 Gracemont cores). The multi-core performance has increased significantly.The Intel Core i9-13900K features a hybrid core system that combines large and very powerful CPU cores with smaller, more efficient CPU cores. These cores are called P cores (performance). The base clock frequency of the larger CPU cores is 3.8 GHz, but the processor can increase the clock frequency to up to 5.7 GHz via a turbo mode, depending on the load and thermal conditions.
The smaller Gracemont cores (E cores) clock at 3.0 GHz and also have a turbo mode that can increase the clock frequency to up to 4.2 GHz. The Intel Core i9-13900K is overclockable, but this requires a larger CPU cooler.
The new Intel Xe graphics are used for the first time in the 13th generation of Core i processors as internal graphics. Specifically, an Intel Iris Xe graphics with 32 execution units and 256 texture shaders is installed in the Intel Core i9-13900K. The computing power of the graphics is definitely sufficient for older games, but a dedicated graphics solution is still required for newer games or high resolutions.
The processor supports fast DDR-5600 RAM in up to two memory channels. The maximum memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s when using two DDR5-5600 memory modules. Even higher data rates are possible by overclocking the main memory.
With the 13th generation of Intel Core i processors, Intel has given them a larger level 2 and level 3 cache. The Intel Core i9-13900K has a total of 32 MB level 2 cache and 36 MB level 3 cache.
