Intel Core i7-13700K vs AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

Intel Core i7-13700K

► remove from comparison Intel i7-13700K

The Intel Core i7-13700K is a high-end CPU based on the current Raptor Lake architecture, which was introduced in September 2022. The base clock is 3.4 GHz and can reach up to 5.4 GHz under optimal conditions. The total of 16 cores are divided into 8 P-cores and 8 E-cores, which we already know from the Alder Lake architecture. Compared to the Intel Core i7-12700K, however, the number of E-cores has been doubled, meaning that the Intel Core i7-13700K now offers 24 threads. As usual, the K models continue to offer a freely selectable multiplier, which simplifies overclocking. In addition, all new Raptor Lake processors can be operated on the existing Socket 1700 motherboards.

Performance

Compared to the Intel Core i7-12700K, the Core i7-13700K still offers 8 P-cores, but these are to be relieved by 8 additional E-cores for demanding applications. The E-cores primarily take care of background applications. The hybrid architecture relies on the Intel Thread Director, which is responsible for the correct allocation of tasks. Compared to Alder Lake, the number of e-cores has been doubled, which significantly improves multi-thread performance in combination with a further increase in IPC. If all requirements are met, Intel Turbo Boost 3.0 can increase the clock rate of the P-cores to up to 5.4 GHz. The E-cores can also be overclocked and reach a maximum of 3.4 GHz.

Graphics

Like the Intel Core i7-12700K, the Intel Core i7-13700K offers an integrated graphics unit (iGPU). The Intel Iris Xe architecture continues to serve as the basis. In terms of performance, however, not much has changed with the new Intel UHD Graphics 770.

Power Consumption

The Intel Core i7-13700K is specified with a TDP of 125 watts, which corresponds to the PL1 value. In Boost mode, the processor's performance can increase to up to 253 watts (PL2). However, this requires good cooling. If all restrictions are deactivated in the BIOS, the PL2 value is not restricted by a Tau value.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

► remove from comparison AMD R5 5600X

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a desktop processor with 6 SMT-enabled (12 threads) and based on the Zen 3 architecture. Launched in November 2020, it is the fastest 6-core Ryzen desktop processor. With a TDP of 65 watts, the Ryzen 5 5600X is the least energy-hungry model in the Zen 3 family to date.

The Ryzen 5 5600X is clocked at 3.7 GHz base clock and can be clocked up to 4.6 GHz with Precision Boost 2.

Performance

The average 5600X in our database is in the same league as the Ryzen 9 4900H and the Ryzen 7 6800HS, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. While this isn't the fastest CPU money can buy, it still rips through most workloads with ease, as of mid 2022. Find out more in our full review.

Power consumption

This Ryzen 5 series chip has a default TDP (also known as the long-term power limit) of 65 W to be in line with most desktop processors.

The R5 5600X is built with TSMC's 7 nm process for average, as of early 2023, energy efficiency.
