The Intel Core i7-13700K CPU review & benchmarks finally arrived, following-up our Intel i5-13600K and i9-13900K CPU reviews to give a full comparison of the Intel options. We had this one in the pipeline for a while, but kept getting delayed by other content (mostly the 12VHPWR cable research on the RTX 4090 -- but that's done now!). This review and benchmark of the Intel i7-13700K tests it vs. the 13600K, 13900K, AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, R5 7600X, and more. We'll also look at how it compares to the previous generation of Intel parts.

Thanks for the patience on this one! We finished it ~2 weeks ago, but we didn't complete the editing since we were working so much on that 12VHPWR story with the 4090. But now it can finally go out!

Hey Steve, any plans to do a 4080 teardown? Or would there be no point because it’s similar to the 4090?
There has been a ~20% AMD CPU price reduction in between.
The 7950X is only USD 555!
Why isn't there a CPU benchmark for cpu heavy strategy games like Crusader Kings III or Stellaris? Like how long it takes a game to finish playing on max speed. The games get really sluggish at the end.
Why don't you include 4X games like Civ6 in the game tests which can actually stress test the CPU, instead of running 1080p tests with a 3090Ti? You're testing at 1080p because at higher resolutions you're GPU bound, I get that. But these 1080p tests are rather pointless, as not many people play 600 fps 1080p games. Phil's Hardware included Civ6 tests and there you can clearly see which CPU is better in a real world relevant scenario.
Looks like AMD lowered their prices for Ryzen 7000 across the board. I’m so glad we have such a competitive CPU market now.
youre still coping huh?
13900k beats amd in almost every game. amd failed this gen were back to the pre ryzen days i guess
@@luxemier lol, you live in a world where only gamers exist?
@@luxemier ?? Its still competitive lmao
@@luxemier first, it trades blows with the 7700X, and the 7900X and 7950X are workstation CPUs who suffer a bit of latency due to the dual CCD. Second, wait for the 3D SKUs lol. And that's only gaming, in productivity the 7950X wins or matches the 13900K in all workloads.
Sadly it is only a temporary black friday thing, it is already confirmed, so we are most likely back to MSRP after this or next week
This makes me feel good about my purchase of a 13700k for $400 flat (thanks MicroCenter). I upgraded from an 8700k so the improvements are just crazy.
Wow! 8700K was good for years, though!
I'm into doing the same upgrade, did you purchase z690 or z790?
I got mine in bb for 379
I'm still running an 8700k as well. It still runs great, but I recently upgraded to a 3080 and I'm wondering if I should upgrade my CPU now.
Same but from the 8086K but to the 5800X3D. The options are great and you cant go wrong with either vendor atm
Your videos are the reason I was able to make an informed decision about buying what is best for the buck in my budget range. You guys with your top-notch reporting managed to save me hundreds of euros in the long run. Thank you for the work that you do.
So awesome to hear that! Thank you for letting us know, and glad to hear you're happy with the outcome!
They really are the absolute best. True professionals without loosing the common touch
Still need to google up prices of your local country, in mine R7 7700X = 391 Euro, 5800X3D = 323 Euro and i7-13700k = 499.99 Euro
I'm glad you've sent them at least 2 euro tip, when they've saved you several hundreds.
@@GamersNexus yes.. Gamers Nexus and harware Unboxed are the best...
Thank you for this review! I haven't upgraded my pc in over 10years. Was still running an i7-4790k and a 980TI. Was still able to play games. But I splurged and got this cpu and a 3080TI. So glad I did. Night and day difference and this review made me happy. Thank you!
i also moved from the 4790k to the 13700... the 4790 was a great chip, but there is simply no comparison.
I went from 4790k to Ryzen 5 3600 to the 13700k.
It's an absolute beast
I had a 4790K too and moved to this cpu and looking to get amds 7900xtx
What a massive jump, like going from ps1 to ps3. Nicely done!!
I'd possibly still be running 4790k and GTX970 to this day if it wasn't for PSU dying, CPU temp problems and GPU software problems. Performance-wise they still hold up "acceptably" in 99% of games for 1080p.
upgrading from a 4790k to this cpu was a massive boost in performance!
I did the same, was considering waiting another year, but in my case I'm ok with saving $ with sticking with ddr4.
Bruh that’s like going from a fiat panda to a Bugatti Veyron. Congrats
One of the best things to remember with that kind of upgrade too -- almost anything will be a huge increase, so it's hard to go wrong!
@@GamersNexus truth. When they dropped the 5600g to $110 a few days after, I had a few second thoughts... But I've learned my pattern of behavior actually prefers fewer upgrades over longer periods of time, so I don't have buyers remorse anymore. If we get 2x the performance at the same price within the next two years though... Then maybe. But I'm just glad we got out of the ivy bridge to kaby lake slump.
Yooo nice, I'm upgrading from a 4770T to a 9900K I got for a great deal
Crazy, I was literally just checking your channel to see if you guys covered this chip yet. Thank you GN!
MAYBE WE WERE CHECKING YOUR SEARCH HISTORY
@@GamersNexus that entry on my search history 3rd down, it was for research purposes, I swear!
Upgrading from 4790K to 13700K. First time in all those years I've felt it is worth it. Hoping this one will last just as long!
Crazy that I’m in the exact same boat almost 8 years on my 4790k what motherboard are you going with
@@jkiu2692 I'm also still on 4790k, that thing won't die and still works ok. It's by far the most long lasting cpu I ever had and I'm still not convinced that I need a new one yet.
Who are you and why are you copying my cpu choices
Crazy that I’ve used a 4790k for over 7 years and just decided to upgrade to a 13700KF and so did you
Well, it's 9 generations of difference so of course it's worth it. 🤔
Upgraded to the 13700k from the 4790k. The improvements are just unreal. I loved the 4790k though...
holy paytience
@@Fahif808 Patience or being poor, that is the question...
I did the same, from the end of DDR3 to the start of DDR5 !
@@novideohereatall you can be poor and still be impatient. So either way 🤷♂
same! from i5 3570k to this
I had a i5 8500 since 2018. Few days ago I bought i7 13700K. I am super happy with it. currently using a Noctua NHD15 with it. It gets a little toasty under high load but the performance increase is great. As always great review
I'm planning on either getting a 13900k or 13700k, but now way I'm running either without a 360mm water cooler lmao
Upgraded from 8700K to 13700KF. Have it power limited at 190W with PL1/2, and it achieves basically the same performance in games, and just shy in benchmarks from stock. Best of all, can avoid the annoying thermal spikes when load starts!
so are you saying its not worth upgrading?
@@ganomaly Ah I see how my comment is confusing. I meant that the 13700KF performs the same in my games when I limit the PL1/2 to 190W compared to stock. Not compared to the 8700K.
In terms of whether it's worth upgrading it depends what's your current CPU and what you're trying to achieve
I still have the 8700k at 5ghz. Wondering whether I should upgrade or wait a tad bit more. Either and or Intel not sure haha thank you for the reply. It'll be for gaming btw, and I've just picked up a 3090 couple months ago. Any advice would bee appreciated 👍🏼
Man, I was considering going for the 13600k instead of the 13700k. But then I thought "I'll watch the GN review". And after watching this, I've decided that for 350US for the KF (it was on sale) against 300 for the 13600k? It was a no-brainer upgrade from the current 4470k I've been running all these years.
Thanks so much! I always love your reviews and your processes, and I love the fact that I was finally able to act on an upgrade, after years of watching.
Do not go kf unless u know exactly what u need, intel igpu act like a booster help speeding up PR streaming and all other sht. If u do any sht relate to adobe than k is a no brainer
@@zihechen3111 Thanks! I mostly do gaming and very light streaming (Older games most of the time lol). So I went kf either way, I am rocking a 1080ti still and I'll hold off for one more gen to upgrade that. But yeah, I do no workload-related activities on this PC.
@@zihechen3111 so kf is more for adobe and not for gaming? I don't understand the difference between k and kf
@@rainretribute9852 k is more for adobe. If does not have igpu, k does, and igpu is a must have if u want any adobe work
Happy that I went for the 13600K, saw an 80% improvement in iRacing fps over my overclocked 9600K. Probably even more now that I discovered the MSI "CPU lite load mode" that was set way too high from the factory. CPU temp dropped almost 20 degrees by changing a single parameter in the BIOS.
What does that mode do and how did you fix it?
@@mattdayman9632 it changes how much voltage is added «for safety» under load/turbo conditions. Too much voltage gives unnecessary temp increase..
@@peiiider how do u do this?
As of late August, 2023 - Micro Center has this bad boy on sale in a bundle. The CPU came out to 260 bucks, got 32GBs of DDR5 6000 36 for like 65 bucks, and a z790p wifi (didn't want the wifi capabilities but whatever) for 170 bucks. Couldn't pass it up. My 3070 is very happy and so is the credit card company lmao.
I would appreciate , although it is less common in gaming , if emulation benchmarks were at some point included. Mainly since those are more CPU intensive than GPU and have been making strides in optimisation and compatibility as of late.
Just take an AVX512 i7-12700K batch with DDR5 and Ignore Zen 4 and Raptor Lake. IPC is the same (for 13th gen) and a 6% downgrade on Zen 4.
I'm in the middle of a complete rebuild from my 8700k (sold my tower before a large move) and I decided on the 13700k shortly after launch. This definitely helps me feel good about my decision.
Same here except 9700k
Same as well from a 7700k
Im so torn now because of amd price drop. Going from a 9700k aswell. I have a $100 gift card for Amazon too so I can get the 7700x for 250 or 7900x for $374 . My third option is microcenter 13700k for $380
@@foster4241 Just remember AMD's new stuff is ONLY DDR5. If that matters to you price point wise.
The generational increases from Alder Lake are really impressive. Especially compared to how Intel CPU’s used to be for years. Love competition!
Si cierto CPU potencia de intel es único que trabaja más mucho para jugar máximo FPS por 1080p más mejor mucho que menos 1440p y 4k? Creo que GPU es una de parte mayoría en cuello de botella si existen
I got it for $350 at Micro Center, when it was on sale, last week.
Great price!
I got mine on launch day via best buy for the same price... I had them price match micro center then used a 10% off coupon + I had a free $200 gift card from recent phone purchase and some rewards points all in all I ended up spending about $150 after tax for mine!
I definitely already watched the video and am writing this comment as a reflection of what I have witnessed in said video
😆
I, too, have thoroughly consumed said video and observed Steve loudly proclaim something at some point in this video. Dry sarcasm may have been involved.
Actually an informative and interesting video now that I have actually scrolled through it. Serious consideration for a 13600k for me tho, it doesn't seem like the 13700 is worth it for the $. I do video editing and light gaming, and my FX 8350/hd 7870 is feeling a bit tired. Seems like intel is on top this time around.
This processor is beastly….with this processor I can run SQUAD at 4K with an rtx 3060….and I hardly go lower than 70 fps…..runs ready or not at 3K, uncharted at 2K….but it runs HOT so liquid cooling AIO is paramount….dont listen to the “air cooler will be fine” when I was running an air cooler I was getting 95-100c JUST GAMING….with a deep cool AIO I don’t go above 81c. Get this over the i9 trust…
From 9900k to 13700k was noticeable, and got to keep my DDR4 !
Also 5.5 GHz on p-cores without any effort, making it basically a 13900k for gaming
was looking at this upgrade...was the additional heat output noticeable as well? My rooms already getting too hot with 30 series and overclocked 9900k
@@Mekojonessharktooth you're putting out 250 watts of energy, a lot of that will be heat. So yes it will expell more BTU than a 95 watt 9900k. I have a 9900k and just upgraded to 13700k. I was able to undervolt -.090 vcore to get the temps to stabilize around 80c. My 9900k was UV too and would hit around 72c under max load. So there will be a 12% increase in temps. That doesn't directly correlate to how much warmer your room would get. There's so many variables.
TLDR. Yes your room will get warmer around 10% fast or warmer than before, depending on room size, ventilation and cooling.
@@Mekojonessharktooth Just go and buy AMD. Much more efficient.
DDR5 prices are only a bit lower than DDR4 right now, if anyone's getting a new Mobo, it could be the time to go for ddr5
(But yes absolutely, if you already have expensive high quality DDR4 kit, keeping it is the better option at the moment)
@@lagarttemido just stfu about amd
Would love to see more about coolers, temps and how to tame this beast of CPU. Definitely a great value for 3D work, but power draw worries a bit.
great value for 3d work ?? it's a "C"pu not a "G"... 🤣
Built a system for a pal who brought a 12100F (unfortunately) and honestly, even at the extreme low end it absolutely blew me away how quick it was considering i'm still running an overclocked FX-8350.
Because Bulldozer IPC was so bad that 1st gen Intel CORE is faster per clock and anything above feels high end compared to that piece of trash. Being more accurate, is not the IPC itself, it's the terrible floating point speed.
Alder Lake and Raptor Lake's p-core floating point is ridiculously good. Emulation beasts and destroy Digital Audio Workstations (they are all floating point based).
@@saricubra2867 He’s running piledriver, not bulldozer. That’s the 8150
@@ARH0101 Same sh*t.
@@saricubra2867 No, they’re not. They’re both FX chips of the same micro architecture That’s it.
@@saricubra2867 For certain tasks it was even worse than core 2 duos, lol. I distinctly remember an overclocked E8600 beating overclocked 8150 in Skyrim, lmao.
No joke, I was just searching Reddit a couple hours ago trying to find out why there wasn’t a GN 13700k video. You guys rock!
I’m finally retiring my 4770k for the 13700k. Can’t wait to put my new rig together.
Same here LOL ... rocking with 4770k and RTX 3090 ... Maybe I go with 13700k too =)
I wanna go from 5800X to 13700K. Intel for the win.
I went for the 12700K vs my i7-4700MQ (similar to i7-3770). Raptor Lake IPC is the same as Alder Lake.
I have a i9-13900k and I still can't stop making googly eyes at the i7-13700k...
The 13700k just makes way more sense for people who want "high end" but don't actually need production work tasks... And it's like 50% more money to get 13900k over 13700k if you shop around.
Seriously beginning to feel like picking up the 5800X3D was a great decision. I only use my pc to game and its still very solid compared to most of the recent CPU releases. Couldn't be happier
I have yet to see a recommendation against the 5800X3D if all you do is gaming. Well, it depends on what resolution as well, it matters less at 4K but might still matter quite a bit, especially at the lows, if the particular game you like can avail of the large cache. Of course it depends on what you paid for it as well.
@@Vantrakter 1440p paired with a 3080ti. Got it for something like $375? It was on sale like 6 months back. Sold my old 3700x to a friend in need of a CPU for $100, so ended up even cheaper in the end. For most of the games I play I didn't notice much of a difference, but in Escape From Tarkov and a few other titles the difference was fairly noticeable.

Commentary on the 5800x3d is on point, seeing the performance compared to 13700k and 7700x in gaming sold me.
Please keep doing GTA. 😢
Pretty pleased with my 13700k purchase. After weighing the extra platform cost to jump on a new AMD socket AND pay for DDR5, I couldn't make myself make the leap.
Ended up buying a Z690 board and reusing my DDR4 memory.
I made the mistake of buying an i5 6600k years ago. This was right at the end of the "4 cores is all you'll ever need for gaming" era. I'm ok spending a little bit extra to future proof my purchase.
I am in the same boat as you i have a 6600K now and i really need a decent cpu now for gaming :)
@@silotes94 grab a z690 board and make the jump! It'll be a great upgrade.
6600 boat, EOL which is why now that the 7900x is on sale i feel inclined towards it given the same price given how Intel messed me up. I could possibly even make do with a cheaper cooler.
When i bought my 6700k back in 2016 and awesomesauce "now bitwit" and paul were saying i5 is all you need for gaming and in 2017 amd out of nowhere reminded everyone that wasn't the case lol I knew it in bf1 that 4 cores wasn't enough. Had my 6700k sweating hard out of the box. Even overclocked that poor thing to 4.7ghz at 1.4v for years lol Once I went to a 10700k back in 2020 it was a night and day difference on every single game I play. The 1% lows upgrade was the biggest thing for me. 8 cores is the sweet spot and i'll never go under 8 cores ever again. That's why i'm worried about the upcoming intel 14th gen. Been reading around the top of the line i9 cpu will only be a 6 core. Hope that isn't true..
@@SVT_LIGHTNING Well I can tell you that my new CPU is awesome so hopefully it will have a bit more longevity before it starts to show it's age!
So basically the 7-13700k will work well for music production. Good to know.
Been waiting for this! Been eyeing this to upgrade from my 8700K
I think it would be very useful to add system (or CPU) power consumption during idling and/or gaming, because I think not a lot of people need their CPU to execute heavy tasks continuously...
You shouldn't buy this cpu for gaming so it is irrelevant. Buy this if you render. Then again you get the better of both with 7900x.
@@robertmyers6488 I was speaking in general, not specifically to this CPU.
Though I'd argue that even people who use high-end CPUs for rendering may have significant idling times. And that gamers do buy these CPUs
Intel has lower idle power consumption because AMD's I/O die drinks power when idle.
@@orangecapy9494 gamers absolutely buy these chips.... It's not that much more than 13600k and does offer meaningful gaming uplifts and at 4k/120 every frame you can get counts but it does it without costing 50%+ more like that 13900k (now THAT'S a chip only a production person should worry about)
I got my 13700k for $350 and it's well worth it for gaming!
@@__aceofspades you are burning a hundred watts more per hour in performing the supposed benefit of this cpu. The idle doesn't. Require cooling and a larger power supply. Face it burns a lot of power that requires costs. The 7900x is a no brainer for the same thread count.
I decided to go with this from a i7 7700k. It def served me well but was def hitting a wall in anything cpu heavy at this point.
I had the same chip 2017-2020 but the "hitting a wall" thing is just not something I'm comfortable with plus I hate to see my parts lose all their value and basically end up as giveaways or just sitting in a drawer. I sold my 7700k for $300 and got a 10900k on its launch then sold that chip back in May this year for $390 and finally got a 13700k for $350.
I've managed to keep upgrading and yet I bet I spent only about what you spent in the same time or maybe even less....

I'd love to see a section about undervolting in these cpu reviews. Can you undervolt it? What chipset do you need? How much performance do you loose at which power target?
With these modern CPUs and their enormous power consumption and cooling requirements that gets more and more interesting.
I guess the reason undervolting doesn't show up in reviews is that it's almost entirely dependent on the silicon lottery. One CPU might be great for undervolting, and another sample of the same SKU loses stability as soon as you touch the voltage.
Hello! For the production section of the CPU evaluations, have you considered adding a music production software, whether that be ableton live, fruityloops, etc.?
Y'all are the gold standard for reviews in my book and knowing how the music to gaming overlap exists would be valuable to someone like myself.
Thanks!
5800X3D, 7900X, and 13700k are the only 3 cpu's I'd think about buying right now.
I kinda lean towards the 7900X, as it and the 13700 are stronger on productivity (mixed use), but the 7900x draws a lot less power, and actually increases in performance with a further modest down-tune in voltage (avoids thermal throttling, somewhat silicon dependent though). I also want at least 8 big cores purely for the primary application, with some additional compute outside those for background stuff (which the 5800X3D lacks). That matters in productivity _now_ but could eventually matter in gaming too. More pcie lanes on AMD too.
I like the Idea of the X3D technology with the RDNA3 where the gpu has faster cache from the CPU. I'm curious how much a benefit you really get though.
based on what you are upgrading from going 7th gen AMD you will need to change a lot more than just the CPU
@@SALMANNNNNNN Yeah. Not really talking about an upgrade, but an all new build.
I'd kinda like to keep the old beast functional for other purposes.
The CPU market is finally exciting again! You really love to see it! Can't wait to see DDR5 to come down more so i can take advantage of these latest improvements though. It's still a little out of my price range. Thanks once again GN team. We appreciate the work you all do!

I would give both of my kidneys to have GN use their resources to benchmark ARMA 3 on these CPUs, it's so incredibly CPU dependant and scales well with the cache on the CPUs, I'd be so incredibly curious to see what it scales/performs like on different hardware. Unfortunately I don't think the game is quite popular enough to ever be used in a benchmark.

So which one are u getting ??
When i built my current computer I put in a 6700k and everyone was telling me i wasted my money. I explain i wanted to keep using it for about 6 years but didn't matter i apparently wasted my money. It took only 2 or 3 years for the 6600k that everyone told me i should of bought to start struggling in games. Not making that mistake this upgrade skipping the 13600k again.

@@rainretribute9852 I got the 13700k
I'm feeling just fine with my 13700k that I upgraded from the legendary X58 platform with a Xeon X5680 at 4.4ghz. I'll just say the gains were fairly substantial! As far as power usage goes it seems Intel was quite safe making sure all CPU's remain stable and cranked the vcore much higher than it probably needs. Mine would near 1.4V at times and with a -100mV undervolt I dropped the package temp from 87C to 78C in cinebench. Not only did temps drop nearly 10C, power saw around a 50W reduction under load and to top it off it scores the same if not higher 30k plus in MT. It seems undervolting is the new norm for both Intel and AMD and if you don't do it you're missing out on a lot of free advantages.
I also upgraded from an intel 4790k to the 13700. The increased performance was very noticeable.
undervolting has been the thing to do for the last 15 years ...
Good stuff! Went from a 9700k to a 13700k, definitely have noticed a performance improvement
yah! 2-3 interval was the best path upgrade
I'm on 9700k and my 13600k is arriving soon. Can't wait.
You guys really enjoy buying into dead platforms, don't you? How did it feel like watching everyone upgrading on AM4 for cheap? Ready for history to repeat itself on AM5?
@@lagarttemido I mean considering we got the others on release 4 years ago and only upgraded now, none of us are even going to notice, cause as you may have noticed, we're not the type to upgrade every single time a new thing comes out.
@@lagarttemido I've been looking through all these comments and no one is opting for the 7700X or 7900X, which I'm thinking of getting because in 2024 or 2025 I can buy the chip that's beating 14 or 15th gen intel with no motherboard move. I don't know why you blame them though. That "dead" platform is insanely fast - and stable. Intel also has way higher memory bandwidth than AM5 is achieving w/ DDR5 too. A lot of Intel users upgrade every 5-10 years. A new platform is always required with that type of frequency. I do think it's a perk to upgrade in 2-4 years to whatever the latest CPU was for your platform. People that I know in the gaming community don't do a CPU swap unless they're going to the latest chips on the latest platforms. Hence why people don't care it's "dead" socket wise.
The 13600k power consumption versus the 8% to 10% performance increase against the 13700k starts to make the long-term energy cost a considerable factor.
offset -.100-.130v
The i7 also powers more cores. So of course it will draw more power. The i7 and i9 are for people that do more than gaming at 1080p.
i7 = Gaming at max settings, Ray-tracing, 1440p-4K + streaming
i9= all what the i7 can do + 3D and render work and more.
But as others have pointed out, Intel is doing an old trick from AMD days before Ryzen. Jack up the power to gain more performance.
Absolutely, also in terms of not contibuting to the planets heat death seems like a smarter option.
If you care about power consumption, you can just limit the CPU power available. At the cost of reduced performance... maybe. Seriously though, in gaming, it rarely goes above 150W, usually more around 110W. And like I said, you can limit it for full load scenarios. And, say, decrease the power to half, but only get something like 15-25% less performance. You'd be surprised how efficient even Intel chips can get when they are not pushed to the maximum. Though on average, the Zen 4 chips are still doing better (being on that TSMC's 5nm helps a lot)
@@_pant0m You don't even need to offset anything. I have Asrock mobo with i5 13600K, everything at stock, just changed CPU Vcore Compensation to Level 1 and CPU Cooler type to Air Cooler and now I am getting 70-75C on Cinebench R23, cooled with Deepcool AK620. This CPU rocks!
I don't play a lot of high FPS games, but strategy and simulation. Is there any chance of seeing a Civ 6 turn time benchmark when the 7000 series X3D comes out? Would be nice to compare 5800X3D 5950X 7700X 7950X against a hypothetical 7700X3D.

I got the i7 13700k for 450 euros quite a big deal 20 days ago it was 540 here. CPU market is great unlike the GPU in europe. Also Intel supports 7200+ ddr5 now. Which is finally a kinda good upgrade compared to ddr4 3600 at close to double the CAS latency. It´s in the mail, thanks for validating my purchase. Now I can sleep well xD
I'm curious about this, I haven't done a deep dive on ddr5 but I've noticed the CAS is much higher. Is there a performance gain to be had in gaming when double the speed but also doubling the CAS?
@@kernoleary1394 Well from my basic knowledge when you double your speed and double your CAS you get the same latency but at a higher data rate. So in basic theory DDR5 should perform in all cases equal or better (if high data is required e.g. Open World).

Just check if your cooler is affected by Arctics recall and has the corresponding "QC" mark if you're buying from a 3rd party seller or 2nd hand.
I just upgraded to the 13700K from a 9900X and it is SUCH an improvement. I actually had the i9 in my cart, but by the time I compared a few motherboards it had sold out. Honestly so happy that made me consider the i7 because I really needed that "cool your jets" moment 🤣 The difference between the i9 and i7 seems so negligible for my uses

Now I'm considering staying with Intel again seeing how the new Ryzen chips are super hot. The house I'm in is super old and breakers trip easily if I draw too much power in. Considering the 13600k or 13700k. Interesting to see how this video ends.
Imagine doing 270% more power consumption to get lower 0.1% and 1% lows than the 5800X3D, and trading blows in averages. At least it's decent for workstation use.
Just installed my new 13600k with a z690 (all hail Q-Flash Plus) following your review of it. These new benchmarks just further cement my decision. I really wanted to go AMD to upgrade my ageing 8700k, but the value in the 13600k is just crazy. Especially paired with a discounted "old" MB and the RAM I already had.
I hope AMD can do something for the 3Ds to redeem themselves on this generation a bit, the cost of entry is just too high and not justifiable right now.
Thanks Steve !
In the same boat. Intels offer was just too good. AMD is just not off to a good start this gen. But as you said, X3D will properly fix that. I just can't wait that long for a maybe. Hope AMD can change my mind when I need to upgrade in 6 years.
OK, but if you are pairing this with an RTX4080 or 4090 and running games at 4K, does the 13700K have an edge over the 13600K, or is the issue simply GPU? i.e will running games at 4K on an RTX 40 series card have CPU bottlenecks with a 13600K?
You will be gpu bottlenecked at 4k.
Purchased mine on launch weekend as a replacement for 6700k, happy with it so far. Only needed to undervolt for it to not throttle with a Corsair H105 under full load.
I think your Premiere Pro tests are inaccurate. I guess you turned off iGPU so Intel Quick Sync didn't work in your tests? 13900k must be 20-30% faster than 7950X.
13700KF is currently $379.99 on Ebay dealer way cheaper then most stores.
I just picked up a 5800x3d off of Amazon for $345. It would seem AMD has yet to kill it off. I don't blame them, though. Because now I have a gaming CPU on my AM4 platform that will be competitive for the next three years.
Why would they kill it off? It's a 7 month old chip with users like you in mind who don't want to spend a ton on mobo and RAM upgrades. And it's like 5% slower than the 13900K at 4K with 4000-series cards.

I went from an i7-4790 to i7-12700KF. I've got no regrets (it's great at 1440p) and will probably only consider a CPU upgrade only when Intel release the last CPU to support LGA1700 sockets.
" i7-4790 to i7-12700KF. I've got no regrets" What could anyone possibly regret with such a massive upgrade?
@@WSS_the_OG Exactly. At 1440p the difference between the 12th and 13th gen CPUs, for what I use my PC for at least, is negligible. If this new PC lasts the ~8 years the 4790 system did, with minimal upgrades, then even better.
How would you guys feel about changing around a little with your CPU blender benchmark?
Instead of showing graph of render times with all CPU's, would there be a way to say benchmark FPS performance in viewport like just rolling thru your intro animation? Since no one 'is or should' render with their CPU's anyway, but it seems like they do a bigger difference during viewport performance. Where you acually do the work before giving it to the GPU for render. Or I might be wrong.
Love your work as always! Cheers
It doesn't matter...the test is to show performance compared to other CPUs and they have the data for older CPUs to compare it with, wouldn't make sense to change to a new test when they already have the data to use for compareing against another cpu
@@samgoff5289 Fair point. It would be like adding another game to the chart. Annoying yes but over time it could work.
Just feeel like blender charts are a little bit miss representive. Example: TR 3970x vs. 13700k. On a normal chart the Threadripper cpu would win since it has more cores and can render faster.

Could you look into doing idle power testing as well? My desktop computer spends a lot of its time near idle (browsing the internet, watching movies, working on spreadsheets, etc.), and I recently found out my 5600X / RTX 2070S system idles at ~100W (which is much higher than the Intel systems I've measured - my old work computer with an i7 9700K and a Quadro P4000 idled at ~50W). Since my computer is spending most of its on time near idle, it makes a bigger factor in terms of my electric bill, and since idle and load power draw differences are often pretty big, seeing idle power measurements would definitely be useful.
I've been looking into switching to either a Ryzen APU or an Intel system to try to shave the idle power, especially since electricity in the Northeast is pretty expensive (I pay $0.28/kwh, and we're due for a 40% rate hike due to spiking LNG prices).
