From Tom's Hardware: Intel's new Raptor Lake T series CPUs are finally being sold online, including the i9-13900T,(opens in new tab) i7-13700T,(opens in new tab) i5-13600T,(opens in new tab) 13500T,(opens in new tab) 13400T(opens in new tab), and i3-13100T(opens in new tab) from German retailer CaseKing. Originally these chips were supposed to launch a month ago, but that did not come to pass for unknown reasons.
With a 35W TDP, Intel's 13th Gen T series CPUs are the lowest power-consuming processors you can buy that use Intel's latest Raptor Lake architecture and fit into a desktop socket. If you are planning your own build (see how to build a PC), you probably won't want one of these, unless you plan to put it in a small form factor chassis without a lot of (or any) active cooling. However, we often see T series chips in prebuilt mini PCs such as Lenovo's ThinkCentre M Tiny series.
All models from the Core i9-13900T down to the Core i3-13100T share identical cache, and core count configurations to their vanilla counterparts, but the clock speeds for both the P-Cores and E-Cores have taken a big hit due to the stricter power requirements. These won't be among the best CPUs for gaming or productivity.
