Intel Core i9-13900E vs Intel Core i9-13900T: Comparison
Core i9-13900E vs Core i9-13900T p-core boost clock compared
The first real difference is p-core boost clock: Core i9-13900E 5.2 GHz against Core i9-13900T 5.3 GHz. They differ on p-core base clock too, 1.8 GHz on the Core i9-13900E versus 1.1 GHz on the Core i9-13900T. There is a split on tdp as well, 65 W on the Core i9-13900E versus 35 W on the Core i9-13900T. Market segment is not the same on both, Embedded on the Core i9-13900E versus Desktop on the Core i9-13900T. There is a split on base power as well, 65 W on the Core i9-13900E versus 35 W on the Core i9-13900T. Max turbo power is not the same on both, 65 W on the Core i9-13900E versus 106 W on the Core i9-13900T.
Who each one is for
The Core i9-13900E is the one to take for embedded systems and long-lifecycle industrial PCs, though it is not the pick for laptops and fanless designs. The Core i9-13900T suits small-form-factor PCs and quiet builds, though it is the wrong buy for laptops and fanless designs. Our rating of the Core i9-13900E (7.9/10): the Intel Core i9-13900E is an embedded/IoT desktop variant built for long-lifecycle commercial and industrial systems. Our rating of the Core i9-13900T (7.8/10): the Intel Core i9-13900T is a low-power desktop chip built for compact and quiet small-form-factor systems.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and l3 cache read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 8 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Integrated Graphics the same on the Core i9-13900E and Core i9-13900T?
