The arrival of the 13th generation of processors IntelCore It will be given at the end of this 2022 and many Internet users are beginning to wonder if it is worth buying the brand’s new CPUs.
The American company usually launches different models as its generations advance, but a report from the website of hard zone focuses on the two most anticipated: the Core i5-13600K and the Core i7-13700Kwhich would be the best sellers.
Below, we’ll share how the upcoming i5 and i7 compare to today’s, how they perform, and whether it’s worth upgrading the processors in our computers.
“Transition” Processors
The Core i5-13600K and Core i7-13700K are called “transition” processors, since in terms of performance they will not mean a huge leap between the previous generation and the next. Simply, they are the current processors but improved in terms of performance.
The leak shows performance data on 10 different video games, as well as 3DMark Fire Strike and Time Spy. The data has been obtained based on 1080p, 1440p and 4K resolution using a GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, the most powerful graphics card available.
The first graphs represent the performance of the Intel Core i5-13600K, with both DDR5 and DDR4 RAM compared to the current Core i5-12600K, the processor model it will replace.
The second graphics correspond this time to the Core i7-13700K, compared to the current 12700K and to DDR5 and DDR4 RAM, respectively.
Both new generation processors they have a significantly better performance than the current generation. The figures are not extraordinary, but they are remarkable and it must be taken into account that they are QS (Qualifying Sample) CPUs, so the performance data may not be definitive.
Is it worth buying the new processors? Depends. If you already have the current generation ones and you are an average user, stick with the ones you have. However, if you spend the day sitting at your desk, if you are a professional gamer or on your way to being a pro, perhaps the improvements in these i5 and i7 are for you.
