HX Series—Elite Gaming & Creation, Anywhere

The expanded HX series drives breakthroughs for intense workloads, offering desktop-class performance in a just ~20mm-thin mobile form factor. With the maximum available core count—8 performance cores and 16 efficient cores—and the highest I/O and memory available, HX series supercharges elite gaming, 3D content creation and rendering, large file manipulations, and other heavy-duty tasks. The two-chip platform, with discrete Platform Controller Hub, brings greater L2 cache per core and up to 128 GB of RAM, two DIMMs per DDR5 channel, PCIe 5.0 (16 lanes) support,2 Intel® Dynamic Power Share,3 and a range of other advanced technologies. Competitive gamers, dynamic creators, and high-powered professionals now have the performance to achieve more, anywhere.

Boundary-Pushing Technologies

13th Gen Intel® Core mobile processors feature a suite of innovative platform technologies to enrich every aspect of laptop experiences. Capably handle large data sets and data-intensive apps with support for up to 16 lanes of PCIe 5.0,2 DDR5 memory, and up to four Thunderbolt™ 4 ports. Support for Intel® Wi-Fi 6/6E (Gig+) unlocks ultra-fast connectivity, with nearly 3X faster (Gig+) Wi-Fi speeds,4 while Intel® Bluetooth® 5.2 technology enhances wireless device connectivity, with speeds up to 2X faster than Bluetooth® 4.2.4 The new Intel® Dynamic Power Share intuitively shifts power between the CPU and 3rd party discrete GPUs to maximize performance.3 And next-generation AI capabilities, including Intel® Gaussian & Neural Accelerator (GNA) and the option for a new discrete VPU AI accelerator,5 enable seamless video conferencing for today's hybrid work environment.

Elevate gaming and streaming with advanced technologies built for your needs. Features available on Intel® Arc™ graphics products are now available on Iris® Xe Graphics, such as Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) and Arc Control. Also new for Intel® Iris® XGraphics is Endurance Gaming, which extends your gameplay on battery.

Advancing Performance Hybrid Architecture

13th Gen Intel® Core mobile processors bring next-generation performance across a full portfolio of options. With Intel’s revolutionary performance hybrid architecture, Intel® Thread Director6 intelligently moves workloads across performance cores—or “P-cores”—to optimize responsive, single-threaded performance, and efficient cores—or “E-cores”—to accelerate efficient, scalable, multi-threaded performance.

Find the best processor for your needs with a range of leading-edge options. With 24 cores and a two-chip platform, the expanded HX series offers the ultimate platform for desktop-class performance on a laptop. The ultraportable 14-core H series powers premium gaming, creating, video-editing, and multi-tasking, even when you’re on the go. The P series delivers enthusiast-level performance in a thin-and-light form factor to enhance your everyday productivity. And the U series 10-core processor is optimized for the performance and portability needs of modern, mobile PC experiences.

Product and Performance Information

1Performance hybrid architecture combines two core microarchitectures, Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores), on a single processor die first introduced on 12th Gen Intel® Core processors. Select 12th and 13th Gen Intel® Core processors do not have performance hybrid architecture, only P-cores, and have same cache size as prior generation; see ark.intel.com for SKU details.
2PCIe 5.0 only available on HX and H Series.
