Technical Analysis
Detailed breakdown of Core i7-13620H specifications and capabilities.
Processing Power
The Core i7-13620H is a 10-core / 16-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake-H (2023−2024) architecture, manufactured on a Intel 7 nm process node. It reaches a maximum boost clock of 4.9 GHz from a base frequency of 2.4 GHz— higher boost clocks directly translate to better single-threaded performance and responsiveness in gaming. It carries 24 MB (total) of L3 cache, plus 2 MB (per core) of L2 cache and 80K (per core) of L1 cache per core. In the PassMark benchmark (a comprehensive multi-threaded test), it scores 23,804, placing it in the Mid-Range performance tier as a Recent generation product. Geekbench 6 single-core (the most relevant metric for gaming FPS) records 1,859, while multi-core reaches 11,766. Cinebench R23 multi-core (measuring sustained rendering workload performance) scores 15,176.
