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

Many folks go for i9s in whichever series intel brings out at regular intervals while I have preferred to either go 5s or 7s (cant imagine a scenario Id need a 9 since I primarily do 1080p gaming irrespective if its a AAA game or indie or some blast from the past from GOG). Wouldve stuck with 10th gen had that prebuilt machine not gone awry. Heating wise this can get hot so invest in at least a 240 or 280 AIO while a powerful air cooler can also get things manageable (maybe from deepcool, noctua, bequiet, etc). If using a less chonky air cooler then do some undervolting to prevent overheating. I have no complaints with this 13700k. Thanks Amazon and DHL.

This is the best CPU in the world, period.

The best for gaming

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.

I have had zero problems with it since installing it. Thats probably the best compliment you can give a CPU. I am running it in a B660 motherboard, so Im not overclocking it, but I can adjust the turbo boost to fall within certain power limits. No issues at all with this CPU.

The middle ground. The perfect spot for most buyers. The 13700k is almost as fast as the 13900k(the step-up) while being much cheaper. Its also much less hot than the 13900k.

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.

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.

Did you expect me to say anything less than that????

El salto desde 10gen fue bastante grande, la diferencia en multi core fue casi el doble. En single se comporta excelente. Lo uso con Ddr5 6400 y placa MSI Z690 Edge (tuve que actualizar bios con Flash Button). Con H100i RGB Pro Xt las temp andan en 40-45° C en idle y 60-70° C jugando en pleno verano en Chile. Se puede dejar tdp ilimitado o limitado con undervolt para ahorrar energía y bajar temp. Ahora a esperar rebaja de RTX 4080 o que llegue 4070 TI para completar el setup.
