Intel Core i7-13700K

While the Intel Core i9-13900K gets all the tech accolades, the Intel Core i7-13700K is truly the shoulders of Intel Raptor Lake's success, and it's not hard to see why.For starters, the Intel Core i7-13700K, like the rest of the Raptor Lake launch...

If you need more poke in content creation than the Core i5-13600K provides, but can't justify the extra £ for a Core i9-13900K, then the Core i7-13700K is a great choice. Its faster overall than the Ryzen 97900X, and the cash saving overthe Core i9 can...

There is no denying the performance of Intel Core i7-13700K is pretty darned impressive, however its behaviour is a different story.On Auto settings with XMP enabled the Core i7 draws the same power as the Core i9, despite having fewer cores that run at...

The 13th-Gen Intel $409 Core i7-13700K slots into the middle of Intel's Raptor Lake product stack (or at least its product stack as of late October 2022), delivering the lion's share of the gaming performance of its market-leading counterpart, the $589...

It's not fully well-rounded, the gap to the Core i9 is too big to breach, but it's more than you'll get from the Core i5 in creation tasks. All of which means it falls into the incredibly tiny niche of people who mainly game rather than create, but do occasionally create, and can't stretch to the extra £200 for the big flagship model whilst still needing more than the 13600K offers. For those reasons the Intel Core i7-13700K wins our OC3D Gamers Choice.

When you compare apples with apples, the Intel Core i7 13700K is a faster/higher clocked i9 12900K, but for less money with increased caches. It uses a lot of energy and also runs hot fast, but so do its direct Ryzen 7000 competitors. An advantage is...

I think if anything, AMD 7000 3D cache versions, could be their only saving grace to fend off the competition. Do you agree? Let me know in the comments. For now though, it looks like the i7 is hitting the market pretty strong, so long as you provide it with a decent cooling solution, it’s a potent CPU for everything from work to gaming.

Decimating AMD's Ryzen 7 7700X and impressively taking on the Ryzen 9 7900X in some cases, the Intel Core i7-13700K punches way above its head. This 16-core processor is a workhorse for gaming and getting all your work done on time.
