13th Generation Core i3 Processors

Two Intel 13th Gen Core i3 chips are here: the Intel Core i3 13100 (BX8071513100) and the Intel Core i3 13100F (BX8071513100F). Both have 4 cores and 8 threads, boost up to 4.5 GHz, use the LGA1700 socket and come with a boxed cooler. Intel covers them with a 3 year warranty.

The deciding point is graphics. The 13100 has integrated graphics, so it suits office PCs, home builds and systems that may run without a graphics card. The 13100F has no integrated graphics and needs a separate graphics card, which makes it a sensible base for an entry-level gaming build.

Frequently asked questions

Which motherboards support the Core i3 13100? Any LGA1700 motherboard with an Intel 600 or 700 series chipset. Older boards may need a BIOS update first.

Can the 13100F run without a graphics card? No. It has no integrated graphics, so a graphics card is needed for display output.
