What ERYING’s Raptor Lake MoDT Boards Offer—and What to Check Before Buying

ERYING’s i7-13798HRE-D4 and i5-13598HRE-D4 are “mobile-on-desktop” (MoDT) boards: compact desktop motherboards with Intel processors soldered in place. They offer DDR4, PCIe 5.0 x8 graphics connectivity and a choice of 14-core or 12-core CPUs, but both require a discrete graphics card. The reported China prices are 1,399 yuan for the i7 board and 1,199 yuan for the i5 version.156

Industrial-line processors, not socketed desktop CPUs

The HRE processors are described in reporting as chips for embedded and industrial systems, adapted by ERYING for its MoDT platform.26 Because each processor is soldered to the board, it cannot be swapped like a conventional socketed desktop CPU.15

ERYING says the Core i7-13798HRE can be treated as similar to a Core i7-13800HRE without integrated graphics. That is the company’s comparison, not an independent performance test.23

Processor	Core and thread count	Maximum boost	L3 cache
Core i7-13798HRE	14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores), 20 threads	Up to 5.0 GHz	24 MB
Core i5-13598HRE	12 cores (4 P-cores + 8 E-cores), 16 threads	Up to 4.8 GHz	18 MB

Both are reported with a 55 W base power rating.36 That figure alone does not establish their configurable power limits or the clocks they sustain under prolonged workloads. The available reporting also does not provide dependable benchmark scores or temperature results, so treat performance comparisons as unverified.36

Board size, memory and expansion

The boards measure 175 × 215 mm and have two DDR4 UDIMM memory slots.46 Check the case’s motherboard support and mounting points before buying; the reported dimensions do not, by themselves, guarantee compatibility with a particular case.

For expansion, the main graphics slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x8, and a second slot is reported at PCIe 3.0 x4.56 PCIe 5.0 x8 has half the lanes of an x16 connection at the same generation, but the sources do not establish a specific gaming or application performance loss for these boards.5

Storage options include one PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot, one PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slot and two SATA ports. The board also has an M.2 slot reserved for a wireless adapter; that is not the same as built-in Wi-Fi.56

One report lists rear I/O with two 10-Gbps USB-A ports, six USB-A ports rated at 480 Mbps and one 1GbE Ethernet port. It also describes internal USB headers.6 Confirm the exact I/O on the specific listing before purchase, especially if you need a particular port or wireless capability.

A discrete graphics card is mandatory

Neither processor has integrated graphics. A discrete GPU is therefore required for display output, not just gaming.136 That adds to the total build cost and means the platform is not a straightforward choice for a basic desktop that would otherwise use integrated graphics.

Reported prices and practical fit

Chinese reports list the i7-13798HRE-D4 board at 1,399 yuan and the i5-13598HRE-D4 at 1,199 yuan.56 International dollar conversions vary between reports, so the yuan prices are the clearer reference; local availability, shipping and final retail pricing may differ.

The value proposition is most compelling if you already have compatible DDR4 memory and a discrete GPU, and are comfortable with a soldered CPU. Before choosing one, weigh the nonstandard 175 × 215 mm footprint, the need for a graphics card and the lack of CPU upgrade flexibility against the reported price.156

What the available evidence does—and doesn’t—confirm

The cited reporting supplies headline CPU specifications and board features, but it does not establish reliable benchmark or temperature results, configurable power limits, or sustained clocks. It also does not confirm whether either exact processor model has an Intel ARK listing; a general ARK page is not enough to verify a specific SKU.369

In short, these are specialized budget-oriented boards rather than drop-in substitutes for a typical socketed desktop platform. Their core counts and DDR4 support may suit a parts-reuse build, but the mandatory GPU and fixed processor are material trade-offs.
