High End 12th Gen CPU or mid 13th gen cpu

[Tibby]

I just gaming on it and asking since they are the same price and im going to pair it with 7900XT

[Somerandomtechyboi]

What cpu?

13700k will obliterate a 12900k

[Mister Woof]

well

 

i5-12600k ~= i5-13400f

i7-12700k < i5-13600k

i9-12900k < i7-13700k

 

or just get a 7600 for less and get about the same perf. in games

The reason why i went intel is because the board i want is 200 cheaper

do you live by a microcenter? Their specials can often dictate best value choices outside of normal channels

im from the uk so we dont have micro center

What board and what price? Wouldnt pay over 200£ for any z board, also dont waste on ddr5 unless you are getting 6000c32 with futureproof hynix a dies (8000+ capability)

you're probably going to cringe but this is the part list https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DKscwc  I already bought the case and the ssd

Easy 300£ savings by just swapping out the cooler board and ram for cheaper options

 

Dont buy ddr5 for performance not worth it, you can tune a ddr4 kit to come close to ddr5 performance wise and the klevv kit i chose should hopefully come with a decent hynix ic

 

Cheaper board, expensive boards are just idiot traps and pcpp keeps reccomending rubbish at the top

 

Cheaper cooler that will crush that aio

 

I will note that 750w txm is 20£ cheaper but 850w supernova is a solid psu

The only reason why i went with an aio is simply better looking than a bulky air cooler

So what motherboard and ram do you suggest?

The ones i picked cause cheap

Performance >>> looks, but if you can fit a 7900xtx or a 4080 and still be able to get an aio in there then i dont see any issue going for an aio

yea i looked at the motherboard and i need more io tbf

What i/o specifically? Usbc? Usba?

it would be nice to have 2 usb c but its a need to have at least 8 of usb a

There is already 2 usbc, 1 on the rear i/o and 1 header for front i/o

 

And theres a header for usb 2 and 3 front i/o so atleast 9 usb ports and at most 11-13 ports depending on case or you wanna buy a usb header thingy that uses the expansion slots to add extra rear usb

Don’t get a z690 board uo have to flash bios to get ur cpu working

While I wouldn't go so far as to say the 13700k would obliterate the 12900k....they aren't quite the same either. The 13700k is a "better" 12900k. It's a refined process, has higher boost, and more cache.

I think there within 10 percent of each other if u matched the clock speeds I’m sure it would be closer

It's not that big a difference, sure, but they aren't the same CPU.

 

Especially considering "same cpu" has been a thing in the past....

 

i9-11900k is the same CPU as the i7-11700k, just slightly higher frequency which is a BIOS setting.

i7-7700k is the same CPU as the i7-6700k, just slightly higher frequency which is also a BIOS setting.

 

13700k has hardware differences and IPC improvements over the 12900K, in the form of more L2 cache....and higher frequency, and IIRC the memory controller is better.

 

13700k is a better 12900k for less money
