Posted October 23, 2023 Create a poll in your post @BoxedSA Most use cases I'd pick the 7600. If it's purely for CPU productivity then 13500. not with a DDR4 motherboard. Cinebech and few other workload tasks that's like 1/5th lost performance with DDR4 over DDR5.

I5-13500 but I'd put it on a B760 motherboard. 80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 23, 2023 IF you put the 13500 on DDR4 like you mentioned in the first post, it's nowhere near the 7600 in productivity or gaming. It's getting beating even by Ryzen 5000 CPUs then. | Ryzen 7 5800X3D | Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 Rev 7| AsRock X570 Steel Legend | | 4x16GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo 4000MHz CL16 | Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6900 XT | Seasonic Focus GX-1000| | 512GB A-Data XPG Spectrix S40G RGB | 2TB A-Data SX8200 Pro| Phanteks Eclipse G500A | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
