Intel Core 5 213PTE socket: LGA 1700
The Intel Core 5 213PTE uses the LGA 1700 socket. It is the 45 W value eight core of the Bartlett Lake embedded range for industrial and edge systems, and consumer 600 and 700 series boards have no BIOS support for it, so it runs only on industrial boards that list it.

What the Core 5 213PTE is
The Intel Core 5 213PTE is the entry eight core of Bartlett Lake, Intel's Core Series 2 embedded family launched in the first quarter of 2026 with database availability dated March 9, 2026. Eight Performance-cores with Hyper-Threading give 16 threads over 24 MB of Intel Smart Cache, and Efficient-cores are absent. Base frequency is 2.1 GHz with turbo to 5.2 GHz and an all core turbo of 4.6 GHz, built on Intel 7 at 45 W with a $221 tray recommended customer price.
Two details separate the 213 parts from the 223 parts above them. Graphics step down to Intel UHD Graphics 730 with 24 execution units instead of the 32 unit UHD Graphics 770, and DDR5 support is rated to 4800 MT/s rather than 5600 MT/s. Both differences trim cost for high volume nodes where displays show static HMIs and memory bandwidth never binds. The multiplier is locked, so clocks follow Intel specified turbo behavior only.
Volume fleet roles fit this SKU best. Digital signage players, kiosk controllers and sensor gateways repeat by the hundred, and small per unit savings compound across the order. Identical Performance-cores keep every node predictable, while Time Coordinated Computing and Time Sensitive Networking support in the family serve synchronized installations.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The package is FCLGA1700 for LGA 1700, and only industrial firmware starts it. Family chipset coverage spans W680, R680E, Q670e, Q670, H610E and H610 designs, with cost sensitive H610E and H610 boards a natural match for a value processor. The board support list must still name the 213PTE explicitly before purchase.
Consumer boards are excluded as a matter of vendor policy. ASRock confirmed its retail LGA 1700 lineup including Z790 will not receive Bartlett Lake BIOS support, reserving the family for embedded motherboards and industrial computers. A chip the firmware cannot recognize stops the board before POST, however cleanly it seats. Retail LGA 1700 systems therefore end processor support with the 14th Gen.
Low cost industrial boards suit the 213PTE, since neither power delivery nor cooling needs headroom beyond the 45 W class. Confirm the support entry and the board thermal rating together. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide explains the chipset and BIOS pairing that decides every such case.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
Memory is rated DDR5 to 4800 MT/s or DDR4 to 3200 MT/s on two channels to 192 GB with ECC, a step below the 5600 MT/s DDR5 rating of the 223 and higher SKUs. Fleet buyers should note the ceiling when standardizing one memory kit across mixed nodes. DDR4 board variants reuse older industrial modules and keep refresh budgets down.
Expansion provides 20 processor lanes, sixteen PCIe 5.0 and four PCIe 4.0, with eight DMI 4 lanes to the chipset. Modest H610 class boards wire fewer of those lanes to slots, so check block diagrams where a second NIC or capture card is planned. UHD Graphics 730 at 300 MHz to 1.65 GHz covers control displays without extra hardware.
A 45 W envelope cools with compact industrial heatsinks, and tray supply includes no cooler. The 78 mm LGA 1700 mounting pattern in the CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide governs selection. Size cooling for warm cabinet air at continuous load, since signage and kiosk nodes run their displays all day.
Upgrade paths
Growth inside the family costs little more than a processor swap on validated boards. The 213PTE can rise to the 65 W 213PE for base frequency, to the full graphics 223 pair for display heavy roles, or to ten and twelve core SKUs when nodes consolidate. Each step needs the destination part on the support list with cooling to match.
Desktop parts never join the ladder. The Intel Core i5-14400 runs Raptor Lake Refresh firmware on consumer 600 and 700 series boards, firmware the 213PTE cannot boot and which cannot boot it. Keep embedded spares and desktop spares in separate inventories.
A later platform change means a newer embedded socket with board and memory qualified together, found with the How to find your CPU socket type guide. Value nodes commonly serve until cabinet refresh, so that move aligns with site refurbishment cycles.
Frequently asked questions
What socket does the Intel Core 5 213PTE use?
It uses LGA 1700, marked FCLGA1700 in Intel documents. Only industrial boards with firmware support start with it.
Can I run the 213PTE on my used Z790 board?
No. ASRock confirmed its consumer LGA 1700 boards, Z790 included, will not receive Bartlett Lake BIOS support. The chip fits the socket physically but the board will not start without the matching firmware.
How do the graphics of the 213PTE differ from the 223PTE?
The 213PTE carries UHD Graphics 730 with 24 execution units, while the 223PTE and higher SKUs carry UHD Graphics 770 with 32 units. Both run 300 MHz to 1.65 GHz, so the gap shows in display heavy work only.
Why is the 213PTE memory rating lower than the 223PTE?
DDR5 is rated to 4800 MT/s on the 213 SKUs against 5600 MT/s on the 223 and higher SKUs, with DDR4 to 3200 MT/s on both. Standardize memory kits on the lower ceiling when mixing SKUs in one fleet.
