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

The best for the price between the i5 and i9

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!

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.

Runs hot. I used a closed loop water cooler. Runs blistering fast

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 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.

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.

Performs well, no issues so far.

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.

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.
