As with every generation before it, Intel is preparing a line of 13th Gen Core processors with 35 W processor base power under the "T" brand extension. The Core i7-13700T retains the core-configuration of the i7-13700K (8P+8E), but with a much more aggressive power-management for commercial-desktop applications. Geekbench 5.4.5 scores of the processor were leaked to the web, where the processor was shown matching or beating the Core i5-12600K, a previous-generation 6P+4E core processor with much higher boost frequencies, and power limits.

The Core i7-13700T comes with nominal clock speeds of just 1.40 GHz, compared to 3.40 GHz of the i7-13700K, while its P-core maximum boost is probably 4.90 GHz, compared to 5.40 GHz of its enthusiastic sibling. The maximum boost frequency difference between the two SKUs may not seem like much, but the tighter power limits mean that the i7-13700T will hold on to boost frequencies in much smaller bursts. The chip is shown scoring 1939 points in the single-threaded test, and 11564 points in the multi-threaded one. In the ST test, the chip has sufficient power budget to boost one P-core to its maximum frequency, and so it's beating the i5-12600K with its 1856 ST score. In the multi-threaded test, it's slightly worse than the 11608 points of the i5-12600K. While it has more cores, there simply isn't enough power budget to run them at high frequencies. The Core i7-13700T likely won't be part of the first wave of 13th Gen Core SKUs, and will probably launch by late-2022 or early-2023.
