Intel Core i9-13900KS 36M Cache Up to 6.00GHz 24 Core 32 Threads Processor

The Intel CM8071504820503 is a desktop processor built around the Core i9-13900KS, and it gives demanding users the headroom they need for gaming, content creation, and heavy multitasking. Its 24 cores and 32 threads work together to keep frame rates high while you stream, record, or run background tasks. When workloads spike, Intel Thermal Velocity Boost can lift clock speeds to 6.0 GHz, so scenes render faster, spreadsheets recalculate in an instant, and complex simulations move along without stalling.

System flexibility is another core strength. You can pair the processor with up to 192 GB of either DDR5 or DDR4 memory, allowing a gradual upgrade path or an all-new build with next-generation RAM. PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0 lanes provide the bandwidth needed for graphics cards, NVMe drives, and capture cards that thrive on rapid data transfer. If the build relies on integrated graphics, Intel UHD Graphics 770 offers display output for troubleshooting, office work, or light creative tasks until a discrete GPU is installed.

Everyday users who juggle many browser tabs, virtual machines, or large datasets will appreciate the 36 MB of Intel Smart Cache, which keeps frequently used information close to the cores. Content creators can scrub through 4K timelines without slowdowns, and gamers can enjoy high refresh-rate monitors while voice-chatting and running performance overlays. In small-form-factor systems, the processor’s efficiency cores help manage background processes so quieter cooling profiles are possible, while the performance cores remain ready for burst workloads. The FCLGA1700 socket makes it a straightforward drop-in for current Z790 or Z690 motherboards after a BIOS update.

Whether you are assembling a high-end gaming rig, a video-editing workstation, or a professional development environment that compiles large codebases, this processor supplies the speed and responsiveness that remove waiting from the equation and let you stay focused on the task.
