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

Loving the new processor! Seems like it can handle just about anything, really impressed with the speed and temps while paired up with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II.

Amazing CPU, noticed huge improvements in performance almost everywhere (faster load times, higher FPS in games, etc.) Performance was especially noticeable in CPU heavy games such as WoW, that dont require as much GPU power and are heavily bottlenecked by CPU. In cases like those I doubled FPS going from 9th gen to 13th gen Intel.

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

paired with 3070 and working great no problems so far. seeing a huge performance boost in gaming from rust to tarkov to dayz all games seem much smoother and the 1% lows feel and stutters feel non exsistant. also running with corsair vengance ddr5 ram @ 4800mhz as someone else mention being 13th gen cpu you may need to flash the bios of your mobo to get it to recognize it.

Intels 13th gen is a very strong contender and the i7 this time around is all the overkill I needed. While the i5 works great for gaming the extra cores in the i7 make it even better for game streaming or production workloads like video editing, It can be a little power hungry but uses that power to overclock extremely well, but thanks to the efficiency cores when you are sitting idle runs with very low power.

Siempre quise tener un i7 así que compre este cpu para estar a la actualidad vs mi i5 8600k, el rendimiento es magnífico, con los juegos apenas se carga, lo que no me gusta es que sea muy caleton pero con el noctua que tengo de momento me aguanta bastante bien, pero al 100% continuo de seguro va necesitar una liquida.

Store quality packaging and installed. I dont know what else to say about it.

Above are screenshots of my Passmark benchmark, both systems exactly the same, except the first picture has the 13700K and the second picture has the 12700K in it. The rest of the components are HX1200, Asus ROG Maximus Hero Z690, Gskill Trident DDR5 F5 6000Mhz, Adata Legend 840 SSD X2 set up in RAID 0. Vetroo Lurker 240mm AIO water cooling, Power color RX 6900 XT. I run all (P) cores synced at 5300 MHz. Temps idle at about 32 to 35C, hard benchmarking takes it up as high as 88 C once, typically about 75C. Ordinary gaming, tasking takes it to about 45 to 50C.

My latest build has the i7-13700k. This cpu is a beast! Every motherboard I have used with 13th gen CPUs needs the BIOS updated first before it will boot properly!

This is a fast CPU. It handles everything you throw at it accordingly.
