Both cost around the same price.
Paired with rtx 4080
go with best black friday promotion
12600k. For gaming everything higher tier makes a tiny difference relative to the price as 13th and 14th gen are just refreshes
the one with 8 P-Cores which are the most important cores for gaming…
The i7 is hot, meaning you need a good cooler. I’d go with the i5, which is cheaper and not by any mean slow for gaming, and you’ll save money on the cooling. A 13600k would also be cheaper in some cases and do the job as good (plot twist its a 14600k with a 4 instead of a 3)
Intel APO works only with 14th gen. You should take 14600k
i myself doing some research about 13700k about temps reaching 90-100 at stock reconsidered getting it ,because i dont want to change my newly bought nzxt x53 aio into a 360 mm rad aio, coming from 8700k paired with a rtx 3070 im going for the 14600k 1440p gaming, i dont care about extra p and e cores as upgrading from 8th get is a huge leap for my setup , and mainly i will be gaming so theres that , i have decided 14600k because its only 20$ more than the 13600k in my country , also i will be getting a z690 rog strix mobo with it and ddr5 5600 rams , i know that in the future when i upgrade my gpu 14600k would still be more than enough for a 4080 or 4090 at 1440p , also i wouldnt need to change my 750w nzxt PSU with 14600k , but that 13700k pulling 250-260 watts is insane if you are only about gaming
There is zero reasons to buy 14600k. It is literally the same chip as 13600k, physically the same. Just with vendor boosted clocks and voltage that you anyway need to undervolt back again to keep reasonable temps under control.
THE SAME performance (clocks, temps, anything else) can be achieved with 13600k if you boost it 10% buy yourself and not by some random guy from intel.
13700k is the easiest pick.
Do you plan on streaming or anything?
If your going 14th gen you should go 14700k or over because of the new APO feature mainly uses 1 ecore per cluster and the 14700k has more clusters. That would be the only reason to go 14th gen for the feature in the future. Otherwise I would take the 13700k.
APO feature
You mean the thing supported by literary TWO games?
14700 is great, but that’s a shit reason to go for it.yeah, i think tech jesus say that such a specific feature that requires special tuniny from someone at intel will not last very long. they wont support APO too long because at some point itll be irrelevant (sooner than later).
13700 gives you more room for productivity
i5 14600K
My 4090 would disagree with you! 13600kf here (edit) it’s got 6 pcores
13600K if gaming, 13700K if gaming and doing heavy workstation tasks
13700k all day long
I have 13700k with 4070 . Can play every game on planet earth with 1440p resolution
Yeah, with low settings lol
This guy, lul. I can literally play everything maxed out on 6900xt with 14600kf.
don’t buy the intel 14th gen
except i7-14700K
