Intel's Raptor Lake T series CPUs have finally hit the market and are now available for purchase online. German retailer CaseKing is now offering the Core i9-13900T, i7-13700T, i5-13600T, 13500T, 13400T, and i3-13100T for sale.

Despite the initial delay in their release, these processors have been highly sought after due to their low power consumption and the latest Raptor Lake architecture.

With a TDP of just 35W, these 13th Gen T series CPUs are perfect for compact desktops and mini PCs like the Lenovo ThinkCentre M Tiny series. However, they are not ideal for more demanding tasks like gaming or productivity as they come with reduced clock speeds compared to their standard counterparts. For instance, the i9-13900T has a max turbo frequency of 5.3 GHz, which is 300 MHz slower than the i9-13900.

Despite their slower speeds, the T series processors do come with some significant energy savings. The max turbo power of the i9-13900T and i7-13700T is just 106W, which is less than half the power consumption of the standard i9-13900 and i7-13700.

Unfortunately, the lower clock speeds of the Raptor Lake T series do not translate to lower prices. All chips hold the same price as their non-K counterparts, with the i9-13900T starting at $671, i7-13700T at $469, i5-13600T at $308, 13500T at $283, 13400T at $272, and i3-13100T at $155. All prices include VAT and shipping costs, and are converted from Euro to USD.
