The CPU runs at speeds of 2 x 1.7GHz and 8 x 1.2GHz with a turbo clock reaching 5GHz, supports 12 threads with multithreading enabled, and is built on a 10nm semiconductor process. Storage comes in the form of a 512GB NVMe SSD over PCIe 4.0, while the integrated GPU operates at a base clock of 400MHz and boosts up to 1,300MHz, supporting DirectX 12 but not XeSS. The system is fully 64-bit compatible.

In benchmark testing, the MSI Modern 14 F13M (2025) achieves a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 7,122 and a single-core score of 2,458, reflecting its multi-threaded processing capability alongside single-core responsiveness. On the PassMark benchmark, it records an overall score of 14,252, with a single-core PassMark result of 3,436.

The MSI Modern 14 F13M (2025) offers a practical set of wired and wireless connectivity options. On the port side, it includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, and one HDMI output, while Thunderbolt 3 and 4, DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, RJ45, and VGA connections are absent. Wireless connectivity is handled by Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) with backward compatibility down to Wi-Fi 4, paired with Bluetooth 5.3. The laptop also features an external memory slot and supports AirPlay.

The MSI Modern 14 F13M (2025) is powered by a 46.8Wh battery and includes sleep-and-charge USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is powered off or in sleep mode. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.

The MSI Modern 14 F13M (2025) includes stereo speakers and a 3.5mm headset jack for audio output, along with a front-facing camera capable of recording video at 720p and 30 fps and a single built-in microphone. It does not feature Dolby Atmos, an S/PDIF port, or a fingerprint scanner, and biometric security options such as 3D facial recognition are absent as well. Motion and location sensors including a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS are not present, nor is there an optical disc drive, a stylus, or support for voice commands, ray tracing, or DLSS.

The MSI Modern 14 F13M (2025) uses a laptop-class CPU with a clock multiplier of 17, a TDP of 15W, and a maximum operating temperature of 100°C; the multiplier is locked. It employs big.LITTLE technology and supports instruction sets including SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, and MMX, along with NX bit support, while ECC memory is not supported. The CPU features 9.5MB of L2 cache and 12MB of L3 cache, operates across two memory channels, and supports RAM speeds of up to 5,200MHz. Graphics are handled by the Intel Iris Xe Graphics 96EU integrated GPU, which includes 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 render output units, with support for OpenCL 3.0 and OpenGL 4.6.
