Intel prepares the Core i7-13799HRE and Core i5-13599HRE, two new Raptor Lake for embedded systems
Intel appears to have added two processors to its Raptor Lake family for embedded systems more than three years after the debut of the 13th generation. The Core i7-13799HRE and Core i5-13599HRE They have appeared as new products, although they are not yet listed in Intel’s public processor index.
The denominations attract attention because they end in 799 and 599, unusual figures within the company’s catalog. Beyond the name, the first data points to two references very close to the Core i7-13800HRE and Core i5-13600HRE launched during the first quarter of 2023.
Up to 5 GHz and 24 MB cache on the Core i7-13799HRE
The Core i7-13799HRE is identified with 24 MB cache and a maximum frequency of 5 GHz. It appears as a tray-supplied Intel processor and uses the FC-BGA16F format, so it is intended to be integrated and soldered onto a board designed specifically for it.
The Core i5-13599HRE is listed with 18 MB cache and a maximum frequency of 4.8 GHz. Both are marked as new products, but the distributor does not show stock. The contractual price for equipment manufacturers is not yet known, although one of Mouser’s regional stores presents the Core i7 with an indicative rate of more than 500 euros per unit.
Several pieces of data needed to compare chips correctly are missing. The number of cores and threads, base frequencies, graphic settings, consumption or maximum turbo power have not been published. Intel has also not incorporated the two references to ARK, its public database of specifications.
These absences make it impossible to ensure that they are renamed versions of existing products. The coincidence in frequency and cache is clear, but Intel could have changed internal characteristics, availability periods, validations or environmental conditions aimed at a specific customer.
Their closest equivalents arrived in 2023
The Core i7-13800HRE It shares the 24MB of cache and 5GHz turbo that Mouser attributes to the new 13799HRE. The 2023 model has 14 cores and 20 threads, distributed between six performance P-Cores and eight efficiency E-Cores. Its base power is 45 W and it can reach 115 W in turbo.
On the bottom step, the Core i5-13600HRE It combines 12 cores and 16 threads, with four P-Cores and eight E-Cores. It also works with a base power of 45 W and a maximum turbo of 115 W. Its 18 MB cache and 4.8 GHz match the initial information of the Core i5-13599HRE.
The industrial Raptor Lake platform supports, depending on the model and board design, DDR5-4800, LPDDR5x-6400, DDR4-3200 and LPDDR4x-4266 memory. Existing HRE references also include support for ECC, Intel vPro Enterprise, and extended temperature operation, features related to embedded systems that remain deployed for long periods.
Those specifications describe the Core i7-13800HRE and Core i5-13600HRE, not the two newly localized models. Until Intel publishes its chips, it should not be confirmed that the 13799HRE and 13599HRE inherit all these elements, although they share frequency and cache.
Processors for embedded equipment, not for conventional laptops
He HRE suffix corresponds to the Raptor Lake embedded range. They are components intended for industrial computers, medical systems, terminals, controllers and other machines designed around a specific board. Their BGA package prevents them from being installed or replaced like a socketed desktop CPU.
In this market, both continuity of supply and novelty of architecture matter. A manufacturer may need the same processor for several years to maintain already validated certifications, software images, and boards. The late arrival of two references close to 2023 chips could respond to an update to the embedded catalogbut Intel has not yet explained its purpose.
The information uses the manufacturer numbers FJ8071505596108S for the Core i7-13799HRE and FJ8071505596305S for the Core i5-13599HRE. Both appear as new products and without units available. The lower reference also does not yet have a complete public listing with price and restocking date.
For now, the only confirmed data is the names, delivery format, cache and maximum frequencies. Intel has not formally announced these processors or detailed which computers will use them. Its presence in a distributor supports that the references exist, but leaves pending the information that will allow us to know if there is any real change compared to the 13800HRE and 13600HRE.
