The Intel Core i9-13900T is a desktop processor with 24 cores, launched in January 2023, at an MSRP of $549. It is part of the Core i9 lineup, using the Raptor Lake architecture with Socket 1700. Intel Hyper-Threading technology is available and effectly doubles the core-count of the P-Cores, to a total of 32 threads. Core i9-13900T has 36 MB of L3 cache and operates at 1100 MHz by default, but can boost up to 5.3 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is building the Core i9-13900T on a 10 nm production process, the transistor count is unknown. The multiplier is locked on Core i9-13900T, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 35 W, the Core i9-13900T consumes only little energy. Intel's processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel interface. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the system, Core i9-13900T uses a PCI-Express Gen 5 connection. This processor features the UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i9-13900T, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, Intel is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
