Specs

In terms of specs, the locked 65 W processors follow suit as their unlocked K/KF counterparts, featuring the same core counts, threads, and cache memory sizes.

Where they differ is the clock speeds and of course the power draw, the new locked CPUs will have lower base / boost clocks, and they come with a 65 W TDP as opposed to 125 W on their unlocked counterparts.

Platform and Memory Support

The new 13th-gen locked CPUs are compatible with motherboards on LGA 1700 socket, and they offer support for both DDR5 and DDR4 type memory up to DDR5 5600 / DDR4 3200 MT/s.

These CPUs will come with Intel UHD 770 integrated graphics with the exception of Core i5-13400 / Core i3-13100 as both SKUs still use the older Intel UHD 730, whereas the F variants will not include any integrated graphics at all.
