Question I5 13600k Or Ryzen 7 7700

[autoblogart]

What do you think is better and would you go for

I5 13600k or ryzen 7 7700

Gaming usage and (maybe) some video editing not a huge video editing just a few

Z690 + I5 13600k + 32gb 6000 is the same price

As ryzen 7 7700 32gb 6000 + b650 mobo

About the same as Intel I’d say.

i will just get a cpu and dont plan to upgrade
I want the highest fps possible in games
I will not loquid cool
I will do some productivity but not huge just light one

Recommend me a cpu . I will not oc of course

It depends upon the game, although it would only be reasonable that newer games use a lot of cores. Single core performance was something notable in the Pentium 4 era and before. Even the fastest single core which may run at 5 or 6 GHz would undoubtedly perform worse in newer games and applications than a Quad core or above. So going way down to single core performance is mostly unnecessary because in today's world most applications use at least 2 cores and anything single core is majorly obsolete and vindictive in terms of performance. So you should definitely always look out for the performance in terms of all cores instead of just a single one.

Let me give you an example. A pizza company has 4 cars and needs to access 4 different addresses to send out pizza.

Now, the 1st car is really fast; the other 3 cars aren't. Would it be possible though for the 1st car to visit all four addresses faster than if all 4 cars had to visit them one after another? One car would visit address one, one address two and so on... If only the 1st car were available it would have to visit address one, then go to address two and no matter how fast it is it would never be able to cover all the addresses the way four cars would.

It's the same with threads and cores.

That would be the 13600K / 13600KF paired up with a decent air cooler such as this one for example.

I see i have found a deal on i9 12900k should i go for it or for that i5 13600k ?

I would wait for the AMD 7800X3D or whatever AMD calls their single CCD X3D part with 8 cores.

Highest FPS and productivity is the 13900k. To get maximum performance you'll likely need to use an AiO.

That is your answer and it is true until the next cpu is released that outperforms the 13900k.

People have answered your question but ultimately YOU have to make the decision on the cpu.

As stated, the 13900k is the fastest now. The current Intel socket has no future upgrade path. The AMD AM5 socket was just released and even the 7900x does not outperform the 13900k at 1080p gaming. What we don't know is what the 7900x3d is capable of until it is released. How will the 9900x perform in a few years? Will Intel outperform AMD in a few years? We just don't know.

It's your decision.

But then asking about the 12900k is a step backward compared to the 5800x3d.

Thank you for writing up!

Well, the Intel Core i5-13600K would be a good option as it is a hairline faster than the Core i7-12700K. If you have the time you may wait for the i5-13600 (non-K) CPU to come out which should be pretty soon. If there's the letter 'F' in the name of a processor (for example Core i7-12700F) that means that it does not include an integrated graphics card. You probably don't want that because if your main GPU breaks or indulges in improper behavior you would still be able to run the system or test it out on the Integrated GPU which is within the CPU. So you may not want to consider CPUs with the letter 'F' in their name.

If you want incredible performance you can always go up to the Core i9-13900K or the Core i7-13700K. Now, the Core i7-13700K you could get if your budget allows it, despite most games will be fine for a long time on the i5-13600K. But keep in mind that that time will be even longer on the Core i7-13700K. The Core i9-13900K would be too expensive and in 2 years time odds are you'd be able to get a synonymous CPU for at least half of its price.

And do keep in mind that the Core i7-13700K is faster than the Core i9-12900K.

So your choice should be between the Core i5-13600K (or if you can wait a little longer - i5-13600) and the Core i7-13700K (or if you can wait - i7-13700).

The Core i5-13600K or non-K would be better budget-wise and do amazingly in games; the i7-13700K or non-K would be a bit higher on the money table, yet it would prove a little longer lasting in terms of enthusiast performance.

It's your choice in the end. Thank you!

PS. Non-K CPUs are basically the same CPU without an unlocked multiplier. This means that you cannot overclock Non-K CPUs and since you are not planning on overclocking this would not matter at all.

The Core i9-12900K is better than the Core i5-13600K and if you can find it for the same price or a price that's a little higher you may go for it instead. However do keep in mind the Core i7-13700K is better than both of the aforementioned CPUs and if your budget may stretch out enough to include it it would be a good future-proof processor in the enthusiast league.

Additionally, about the cooler, you should check up online for the best coolers concerning the CPUs you're looking into. If the processor does not go above 90 degrees after gaming or rendering for many hours it is in the safe zone. My Core i7-3770K used to hit 99 degrees constantly while overclocked up to 5 GHz (which for the time and the component in particular was the pure maximum) with Corsair H110 (the best watercooler at the time). And even at such high temperatures it did operate nicely for hours without any repercussions at all.

So if you don't have enough money to get both an i7-13700K and a cooler suitable to your needs, then you should either opt for the Core i5-13600K or the Core i9-12900K if you can find it for a price synonymous to that of the i5.

The i9 12900K is the better CPU because it has 8 P cores not 6, it does however need very good cooling. How good is the deal?
