Intel Core i9 13900KS 6.0GHz 24-Core 32 Threads Processor

The Intel BX8071513900KS is a flagship desktop processor built for users who demand uncompromised speed, whether they are pushing competitive frame rates, rendering 4K videos, or crunching data heavy simulations. It houses 24 physical cores, divided into eight Performance cores and sixteen Efficient cores. This hybrid design keeps real-time tasks on the faster cores while background jobs stay on the efficient ones, so streaming, recording, and multitasking remain smooth.

The Performance cores start at 3.2 GHz and can rise to 6.0 GHz when thermal conditions allow thanks to Thermal Velocity Boost. The Efficient cores begin at 2.4 GHz and scale up automatically as additional threads are required. With 32 threads and 36 MB of cache, large projects load quickly and compile times shrink.

Platform support is equally forward looking. PCIe 5.0 lanes accommodate next generation graphics cards and NVMe drives, and dual channel DDR5 memory raises bandwidth for heavy content creation or scientific work. When a discrete GPU is not yet installed, the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 can run everyday applications or help with troubleshooting.

Intel supplies the processor without a cooler, giving builders the freedom to choose an air tower or custom liquid loop that meets their noise and temperature goals. Pair the chip with a Z790 motherboard and a robust power supply to unlock its full boost potential.

Whether you are assembling a tournament-ready gaming rig, a workstation for video editing, or an all-purpose home PC, the Core i9-13900KS delivers the headroom to tackle today’s workloads and tomorrow’s challenges.
