i7-13700k Vs AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
Comparison Table
Features | Intel core i7-13700k | AMD Ryzen 7 7700X | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
Number of cores and threads | 16 cores (8 P-cores + 8 E-cores) 16 Threads | 8 cores 16 Threads | The cores and threads of a processor decide the performance and speed of a CPU. The greater the number of cores and threads more is the performance of the processor. In our case, the Intel Core i7-13700k has more cores and threads. Thus, core i7-13700k would deliver better performance in respect of cores and threads. |
Base and Turbo clocks of processor | Base clock: 3.4 GHz Turbo clock: Up to 5.4 GHz | Base clock: 4.5 GHz Turbo clock: Up to 5.4 GHz | For better-operating speed of a processor, the clock needs to be higher. The base clock of the Ryzen 7 7700x is 4.5 GHz far greater than 3.4 GHz of core i7-13700k. This indicates that core i7-13700k will have greater speed in basic operations. However, both have the same turbo frequency of up to 5.4 GHz. |
Memory Support | DDR5 + DDR4 | DDR5 | Only DDR5 memory can be sustained by the Ryzen 7 7700x. That is a drawback of AMD. DDR4 and DDR5 memory are both supported by Intel's processor. By selecting DDR4, a buyer can save some money. The Ryzen 7 7700x does not offer this choice. Therefore by selecting core i7-13700k, users can use DDR4 to configure the machine to fit their budget. |
Architecture | Raptor Lake | Zen 4 | The Raptor lake is the most recent architecture of Intel and Zen 4 is the latest architecture of AMD. |
Socket Type | LGA 1700 | AM5(LGA 1718) | LGA 1700 of Intel was launched in the last quarter of 2021 and it contains 1700 extending pins for connections with the pads on the processor. While AM4 the newly launched socket of AMD has 1718 extending pins for connections with the pads on the processor. |
Caches size | 30 MB | 32 MB | The caches size of the Ryzen 7 7700x is 32 MB larger than the 30 MB of core i7-13700k. The bigger cache size helps in extending the performance and rapid recoupment of data. |
Temperature | 100 °C | 95 °C | The Intel core i7-13700k operates at a higher maximum temperature than the Ryzen 7 7700x. Consequently, the core i7-13700k CPU performs better in high temperatures than Ryzen (Highly demanding operations that increase the temperature of a CPU). |
Power | 125-253 watts | 105 watts | The Intel core i7-13700k has a turbo power of 253 watts, greatly above the peak power of 105 watts for the Ryzen 7 7700x. The core i7-13700k's increased power suggests that it can perform and operate more quickly. On the other hand, when it comes to the cost of electricity, if Intel core i7-13700k is to run at turbo power, this cost would be higher. Even the core i7-13700k operating at base power would cost more than Ryzen 7 7700x. |
Graphics | Intel® UHD Graphics 770 | AMD Radeon 2 | Both processors have integrated graphics. The core i7-13700K has its GPU of Intel and R7 7700x has its GPU of AMD. |
GPU Clock | Base clock: 300 MHz Turbo clock: 1600 MHz | Base clock: 400 MHz Turbo clock: 2200 MHz | Both the base and turbo frequencies of AMD Radeon 2 is higher than those of Intel® UHD Graphics 770. This is because AMD company was designed for gaming. |
Cinebench R23 Scores | Single core: 2205 Multi-core: 29744 | Single core: 1995 Multi-core: 19400 | The Cinebench R23 scores are a measure of the performance of the processor in animation, 3d-modeling, reproduction, and manifesting. Both the single-core and multi-core Cinbench R23 scores of core i7-13700k are much more than that of the Ryzen 7 7700x. |
Price | $409 | $399 | The price difference between these two CPUs is not much high. But still, the core i7-13700k is $10 more expensive than Ryzen 7 7700x. |
