Intel® Core™ i5-13600KF Desktop Processor 14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) 24M Cache, up to 5.1 GHz

Product Information

But on a HandBrake 4K encode, Geekbench, Cinebench, CPU-Z, Corona, and Blender, all the results favor Intel’s newest Core i5 over AMD despite the Ryzen 7 7700X peaking at 5.4GHz (Intel is “just” 5.1GHz), having more L3 cache, and being on a 5nm manufacturing node. But AMD uses less power at just 105 watts instead of the i5’s peak of 181 watts, so there’s that. Boost frequencies are only achieved under ideal circumstances. However, with adequate cooling, you may be able to maintain speeds near the max boost frequency. Free items provided in conjunction with any components are only provided with this PC if specifically stated in the description above.

On 3Dmark’s CPU Profile, which includes six tests that feature custom simulations, the i5-13600K scored 10,370. All six tests use the same workload with variations in threading.

Based on our evaluation of using AMD's Ryzen 5 7600 CPU for professional tools, you can expect excellent tool performance with a high-performance CPU cooler. We found that, in general, more cores do provide better performance in professional tools and when running multiple applications simultaneously.

Video editors, 2D and 3D graphics tools, software compilers, and engineering tools require high-performing CPUs. Its 8 Efficiency cores have a 2.60 GHz base frequency and support a 3.90 GHz max turbo boost frequency.

Coming in at a lower cost and much better performance, the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X doesn't stand a chance.

Intel's Core i5-13600KF CPUs have 6 Performance cores (P-cores) and 8 Efficiency cores (E-cores) for a total of 14 cores. Office and web applications are typically single-threaded, so running a single application won't take advantage of a many-core CPU. Turning to UL’s newest benchmark, Procyon, we benched productivity software consisting of Microsoft Office (Microsoft 365 apps). We reached an overall score of 7,995. Breaking it down, on Word, it hit 8,451, Excel 9,036, PowerPoint 8,135, and a score of 5,745 for Outlook.
