The Intel Core i9-13900E, released in January 2023, is a desktop processor featuring 24 cores. It belongs to the Core i9 series and utilizes the Raptor Lake architecture with Socket 1700. This processor supports Intel Hyper-Threading technology, effectively doubling the core-count of the P-Cores to a total of 32 threads. With 36 MB of L3 cache, the Core i9-13900E operates at a base frequency of 1800 MHz, but can boost up to 5.2 GHz depending on the workload. Manufactured on a 10 nm production node by Intel, the transistor count for the Core i9-13900E remains undisclosed. Additionally, the multiplier is locked on this processor, restricting its overclocking capabilities.

The Core i9-13900E has a TDP of 65 W, showcasing standard power consumption levels for contemporary PCs. It is compatible with DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel interface. Additionally, ECC memory is also supported, a crucial feature for safeguarding data integrity in mission-critical applications. To interact with other system components, the Core i9-13900E utilizes a PCI-Express Gen 5 connection. This processor is equipped with the UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics solution.

Hardware virtualization is enabled on the Core i9-13900E, leading to a significant enhancement in virtual machine performance. Moreover, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is endorsed, allowing guest virtual machines to utilize host hardware directly. Applications utilizing Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) are capable of running smoothly on this processor, thereby improving performance for computation-intensive tasks. In addition to AVX, Intel has integrated the newer AVX2 standard, while excluding AVX-512.
