About this deal

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 has a 3.8 GHz base frequency and supports a 5.1 GHz single-core max boost frequency. We relied on last year’s MSI MPG Z690 Carbon WiFi board for this review. While there are new Z790 boards now available, they do not confer any speed advantages for the 13th Gen series of processors. The Z790 is more forward-looking as it adds one extra USB 3.2 (Gen 2x2) connection, up to 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes (compared to 12 with Intel’s 600-series chipset), fewer PCIe 3.0 lanes (up to 8 compared to 16), and the same 16 lanes of PCIe 5.0.

Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics only: to use the Intel® Iris® Xe brand, the system must be populated with 128-bit (dual channel) memory. Otherwise, use the Intel® UHD brand.

Based on our evaluation, the 13600KF's 5.10 GHz single-core max turbo boost frequency is excellent for performance overall. You can maintain these frequencies with a high-end cooler. Based on our evaluation, the 7600's impressive 32 MB of L3 cache is excellent for performance overall. url=https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/SpeedTest/1950757/13th-Gen-IntelR-CoreTM-i5-13600KF]Userbenchmark: Intel Core i5-13600KF BX8071513600KF[/url] Use conditions are the environmental and operating conditions derived from the context of system use.

But on a HandBrake 4K encode, Geekbench, Cinebench, CPU-Z, Corona, and Blender, all the results favor Intel’s newest Core i5 over AMD despite the Ryzen 7 7700X peaking at 5.4GHz (Intel is “just” 5.1GHz), having more L3 cache, and being on a 5nm manufacturing node. But AMD uses less power at just 105 watts instead of the i5’s peak of 181 watts, so there’s that.

Max Turbo Frequency

The biggest competition for the Intel Core i5-13600K is the new AMD Ryzen 7 7700X or last year’s Intel 12th Gen i7-12700K or 12700F.

Performance-core Max Turbo Frequency

Professional tools are often well optimized to use many cores. CPU cores allow tools to parallelize processing tasks. Increasing the number of cores can divide the time required to process a task if the tool has good multi-threading support. Indeed, compared to its Intel counterparts, the 7-Zip compression benchmark nearly always benefits AMD processors. We found that, in general, more cores do provide better performance in professional tools and when running multiple applications simultaneously.

OS: Windows Server 2022 family* Windows Server 2016 family* Windows Server 2019 family* Windows Server 2012 R2 family* Windows 11 Family* Windows 10 Family* Windows 8.1 Family* Based on our evaluation of using Intel's Core i5-13600KF CPU for gaming, you can expect good game performance with a high-performance CPU cooler. The more cores a CPU has, the more applications you can run simultaneously without noticing a performance impact. On 3Dmark’s CPU Profile, which includes six tests that feature custom simulations, the i5-13600K scored 10,370. All six tests use the same workload with variations in threading. A CPU's cache is a small amount of memory, close to the CPU cores, containing recently used data. An L3 cache capacity of at least 20 MB is ideal for games and professional tool performance.

Based on our evaluation of using AMD's Ryzen 5 7600 CPU for professional tools, you can expect excellent tool performance with a high-performance CPU cooler. Based on our evaluation of using Intel's Core i5-13600KF CPU for professional tools, you can expect good tool performance with a high-performance CPU cooler. Based on our evaluation, the 7600 CPU's support for PCIe 5.0 can be excellent for performance overall, when using the fastest SSDs and graphics cards.
