The Intel Core i9-13900HK, released in January 2023, is a mobile processor featuring 14 cores and priced at. It belongs to the Core i9 series and utilizes the Raptor Lake-H architecture with BGA 1744. With Intel Hyper-Threading technology, the P-Cores’ core-count effectively doubles to a total of 20 threads. The Core i9-13900HK is equipped with 24 MB of L3 cache and operates at a base frequency of 2.6 GHz, with the ability to boost up to 5.4 GHz depending on the workload. Manufactured on a 10 nm production process by Intel, the transistor count remains undisclosed. Overclocking on the Core i9-13900HK is made easier with the unlocked multiplier, allowing users to adjust frequencies effortlessly.

The Core i9-13900HK has a thermal design power of 45 W, which is in line with standard power consumption for contemporary PCs. It is compatible with both DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel interface. In terms of connectivity with other hardware components, the Core i9-13900HK utilizes a PCI-Express Gen 5 connection. Additionally, this processor is equipped with the Iris Xe Graphics 96EU integrated graphics solution.

The Core i9-13900HK features hardware virtualization, enhancing the performance of virtual machines. Moreover, it supports IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough), allowing guest virtual machines to utilize host hardware directly. This processor is capable of running programs that utilize Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX), resulting in improved performance for calculation-intensive applications. In addition to AVX, Intel has also included the newer AVX2 standard, but not AVX-512.
