Intel Core i7-13700KF 16-Core 5.4GHz LGA1700 Tray Processor

The Intel Core i7-13700KF Tray variant is the exact same processor with identical functionality to the boxed version. The only differences are packaging and warranty. It ships without a retail box and without a cooler, typically sold to system integrators and resellers. It runs Raptor Lake architecture with 16 cores on the LGA1700 socket.

Key Highlights:

• Identical Performance to Boxed: There are no functional differences between Tray and Boxed processors carrying the same processor number.
• 16-Core Hybrid Architecture: 8 Performance-cores and 8 Efficient-cores with 24 threads via Hyper-Threading, intelligently balancing speed and power draw.
• 3.4 GHz P-Core Base Clock: A high starting point for sustained performance, with E-cores running at 2.5 GHz base.
• 5.4 GHz Max Turbo: Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 automatically raises the fastest core's frequency, with P-cores reaching 5.3 GHz and E-cores reaching 4.2 GHz.
• 30MB Intel Smart Cache: Paired with 24MB of L2 cache to reduce latency when accessing frequently reused data.
• DDR5 and DDR4 Support: Up to DDR5 5600 MT/s or DDR4 3200 MT/s with up to 192GB across two channels, and a max bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s.
• PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0: Up to 20 PCIe lanes in 1x16+4 or 2x8+4 configurations, driving modern graphics cards and NVMe drives.
• 125W Base Power: Processor Base Power reaches 253W at maximum turbo, requiring a capable cooler and motherboard.
• No Integrated Graphics: The KF suffix denotes no iGPU, so a discrete graphics card is required.
• No Cooler Included: The Tray variant does not ship with a heatsink or fan, so an LGA1700-compatible cooler must be purchased separately.
