Intel Core i7 13700K vs 12700K – Which CPU Should You Buy?

Intel’s Core i7 13700K sits at an interesting position as Intel’s de facto offering for gamers, creators, and productivity users who want to get the job done without spending the premium that the current 14th generation Intel Core offerings command. It currently is offered at a minor discount compared to its MSRP at multiple retailers in the backdrop of a resurgent AMD which, with the release of the 7800X3D is firmly back in the driver’s seat for gamers. Intel’s minor price cut might be a sign of things to come as AMD continues to forge ahead with its X3D processors, even as it provided guidance that seemed to indicate a slowdown in sales in the enthusiast PC market.
