Intel Core i7-13700K Desktop Processor 16 cores (8 P-cores + 8 E-cores) 30M Cache, up to 5.4 GHz

If you are looking to get the best gaming experience with the decent price and not getting poor processing power, this is your option, you get the flagship power with lower price than competitor.

This was the first Generation 13 processor we used in a build. Of course the actual build procedure is no different than before so not much can be said for that. Our test show it is about 9% faster than its same-numbered 12th generation. The other thing we did see from our tests is that again 12th vs.13th the newer processor appears to run about 2°-3° C lower in temperature under somewhat similar conditions. All in all, obviously we will be doing our building going forward with 13 series processors we cant see justification for anyone taking their i9-12900k out and installing i9-13900k. The gains would probably not be really experienced.

It can be used on cheaper motherboards and DDR4 memory which saves money vs AMD 7000 series.

I went with this Core i7 13700k processor (Team Blue) and took the plunge to Team Red (AMD) from Team Green (NVIDIA). I recently went from my RTX 3090 Ti to a new RX 7900 XTX and let me tell you, I can definitely see a huge difference. My previous processor was a Core i9 12900k and I honestly didnt think I would see a huge difference between the 2. The numbers tell the story. Between the processor upgrade and GPU upgrade I am getting about 15% better on my FPS in Warzone 2.0. That is really the only game I play so I really focus on hardware with lower latency all around. Low Lat memory, Low Lat Processor, GPU, monitor and of course internet.

Coming from a I7 7700k, this is a serious upgrade.When gaming, the CPU barely reach 50% load.I have not yet overclocked it and will not do until I feel the CPU has reached its limit under usual daily use.The I7 13700k is great at multitasking: I often have multiple pages open in chrome while running multiple softwares on 2 monitors.The only downside is the CPU generate quite some heat and may need a water cooler or a very good air cooler to not be throttle.Overall satisfied with this CPU.

This was a no brainer upgrade for me. The 13900k may be faster depending on what youre doing but this is a close second. No issues for me, and since the motherboard I used was able to take the cooler from my previous cpu (10850k) I was up and running right away. Temps are slightly warmer at times than the 10850k but definitely nothing to worry about. Quite pleased overall!

I received this CPU in the Intel box, but the plastic holder was loose inside the box.

This is the best CPU in the world, period.

Have my gaming machine running in native with my work VM running I parallel without a sweat. All these cores makes it a breeze for the machine almost never maxing out when performing multiple tasks. Worth the money as you’re getting 4 machines performance in one.

The best for gaming
