Intel Core i7 13700K Unlocked Processor

Excellent processor good speed very good value for money looks great

If you're not in need of the overclocked K model, or the raw power of the 13th Gen i9, this processor will have you covered for almost anything and not even struggle doing it. I specifically use a lot of emulators, and emulators for newer systems such as yuzu and especially RPCS3 rely heavily on the power of your processor. This thing has handled everything I've thrown at it, even more demanding emulated PS3 titles such as Persona 5.

I edit 4K video in Premiere and RAW files in Photoshop. This chip is very good. Granted, I upgraded from a 10 year old 4700K (oof), so to describe the performance improvement as 'noticeable' would be an understatement, but I think anyone doing similar work who's finding that their their older chip is struggling to render/run their editing software will be more than pleased with the capabilities of this chip. Plus, it doesn't run nearly as hot as my 4700K did. I moved from an AIO to a (very large) air cooler and the temps are great!

Bought this as part of a new build, very solid processor so far (6 months-ish) down the line, only overheated the one time when I went a bit trigger happy on an overclock... we live and learn ;)

The processor is working flawlessly. I am at the testing stage. So far, it's performing well, and the temperatures are reasonable.

Seems quick. I paid about 400 quid for the 13700K in 2023 at which point the 14700k would have cost 500. Now (Oct 2024) the 13700k is 345 and the 14700K is 320, so you should probably go for the 14700K at those prices.

It is absolutely phenomenal, outperforms the top spec i12-intel chip whilst taking half the consumption I use it for Architecture practice + gaming.
