Intel Core i5 13500T - 1.6 GHz - 14 Kerne - 20 Threads

In a compact office PC or a quiet home server, the Intel Core i5-13500T delivers efficient multi-threaded performance without excessive heat. This 13th Gen processor combines six performance cores with eight efficient cores, giving you 20 threads for smooth multitasking, content creation, and light virtualization. With a base power of just 35 W, it's ideal for small form factor builds where thermal headroom is limited.

Key specifications

• 14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) and 20 threads
• Performance-core base frequency 1.6 GHz, max turbo up to 4.6 GHz
• 24 MB Intel Smart Cache
• Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 (max dynamic frequency 1.55 GHz)
• Socket LGA 1700, supports DDR5-4800 and DDR4-3200 memory (up to 128 GB)
• PCIe 5.0 support with 20 lanes
• Intel 7 lithography, 64-bit instruction set

Why choose it

The i5-13500T offers excellent energy efficiency for always-on systems. Its hybrid architecture adapts to workload demands, using efficient cores for background tasks and performance cores for demanding applications. The integrated graphics eliminate the need for a discrete GPU in office or media center builds, reducing cost and power draw.

Ideal use cases

• Compact business desktops and thin clients
• Home theater PCs and media servers
• Entry-level content creation and photo editing
• Virtualization and home lab environments

Good to know

This processor is available in tray packaging (without a cooler). Ensure your motherboard has an LGA 1700 socket and a BIOS that supports 13th Gen Intel Core processors. For optimal performance, pair it with dual-channel DDR5 memory and an adequate cooling solution despite its low TDP.
