Intel's 13th generation processors should support 4 sticks of DDR5 memory, similar to the 12th gen models.

It wouldn't work because the system only supports a limited number of channels, and 12 Gen can't handle four sticks without quad support. The same limitation has been present on most mainstream platforms for at least two decades.

Some motherboards are compatible with four memory slots for both 13th and 12th generation Intel processors.

To my understanding, there are currently no DDR5 kits available from any manufacturer with four sticks; the largest kits only offer two. I’m not sure why—possibly related to the limitations of the 12th generation Intel processors.

The 12th generation memory controller is experiencing issues with running four DDR5 sticks beyond Intel's specified maximum of 4800 MHz. At least it should support running four sticks at Intel's rated speed of 5600 MHz. We'll find out if it can manage more later.
