  Why would you buy this from OS, when you can just get a 13700K which is better and pretty similar price locally?

    what deal is that?
    how much better is it compared?

    is another issue the higher cost of DDR5 for the 13700K compared to DDR4 as to why you might get the 12 gen CPU?

      13700K is somewhere between 5-12% faster in real world applications AND can use DDR4, but most sensible people wouldn't pair either CPU with old/slow tech with a new build.

      The main advantages are.

      Lower power draw.
      Faster p cores.
      Faster e cores.
      More L2 Cache.
      Better IMC for DDR5
      OC's better than the 12900K

    Well, it is a beast of a processor.

    • 

      pinkybrain on 22/01/2023 - 09:00

      yeah but by how much of an improvement?

      the other issue is DDR5 is more expensive than DDR4,
      if the improvement is not by much percentage, then wouldn't it be more better to get 12 gen for a lower overall cost?

        13700k has better single core and better multi core than the 12900k, for the same price

        The number of E cores was doubled with 13th gen, so they are the same design

        There is absolutely nothing it does better than the 12700k. You can use the exact same z690 motherboard and the exact same ddr4 RAM for the 13700k.

        Choosing the 13700k is a free upgrade.

  For most people the 13600K is a far better choice than any of the 12th gen CPU including the 12900K

  the 13th geneneration chips are a drop in replacement for the 12th gen, once the current bios update has been applied. They support ddr4 / ddr5 and faster official ddr5 speeds..

  https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i5-13600k/19.h…

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nds4xe-bjRo

  the 13600K beats all the 12th gen CPUs including the 12900K at gaming..
  the 13600k beats all the 12th gen CPUs including the 12900K at single core / threads workload

  it is only slightly slower than the 12900K at the multicore tasks

  the 13600K it has 6 performanace cores and 8 efficient cores for a total of 20 threads.
  the 12900K has 8 performance cores and 8 efficient cores for a total of 24 threads.

  There would be little reason to buy the 12900K over the 13600K KF (sub $500 on special) unless you rellied to multicore workloads only..

  $467.22 on special via ebay 22% coupon.. last left.

  there would be no reason to buy the 12700K/KF over the 13600k/kf

  for anybody buying the 12900K.. that is a $200 i9 sticker that you are buying…

  This 12900 would need to be selling significantly cheaper than this to swing you over most 13 series prices and specs.

    7900 (non X) is kind of a weird product to me.
    Basically same single core/gaming performance as 7900x, but weaker multicore… But if you don't care about multicore why get a 7900 series at all?

    Personally I think the 7600/7700 are better options for most people.
    Or 7900x/7950x if you do serious multithreaded work

  I like my i9 sticker, looks pretty and I purchased an Arc A750 for the deep link technology too. Nice sticker in the box.

  Surely intel are not just making up fancy marketing terms to charge higher prices?
