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

The CPU paired nicely with the Z690 Asus board. Had to update the bios before it would boot. All of the reviews are on the i5 and I9. Make no mistake this cat outperforms the 12th gen I9 for half the cost. Cant wait to see what Intel has up their sleeve.

Upgrading from my core i7 7700 to this CPU. Coupled with Asus Z760-B motherboard. This is a great Intel CPU as usual.

Great chip! I had to return my Amazon product and buy it in store as the one that was shipped to me had been opened and I didn’t want to put a used chip in my new build. That said the return was easy and the chip is a beast. Just keep that in mind when ordering online… make sure to use a new chip as these are very sensitive.

Everything worked great out of the box, so far so good.

This tiddlywink done clocked to 5.5Ghz and that did done good on my Photoshops and After Effect. I done did games and stream subsequently. It did. Done.

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

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.

Far exceeded my wildest expectations. Runs like a dream, tearing thru anything I throw at it. Even without an overclock it benchmarks at anl high level. Cinebench casually posting around a 31000 multicore score. Havent even bothered with an overclock, as gaming at 144 fps has been a breeze. P cores are performing well, and Ive seen boosts well up past 5.2ghz when needed. Those e cores are a huge advancement, taking strain off other cores running background tasks. Just a fantastic processor, highly recommended.

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.

Great CPU save money and buy it from Micro Center for 100 dollar less. Amazon no longer has good prices shop around.
