In September, both AMD and Intel are introducing their new mainstream desktop processors. It doesn't seem to have been as close as this year for a long time, leaked benchmarks of the new top models from AMD and Intel point to a head-to-head race.

This year even the 6 GHz clock limit is almost within reach. With a good cooler and some overclocking it should be possible to reach the 6 GHz limit. But even in series production, the manufacturers try to realize the highest possible clock frequency, at least on one core.

Last week we already reported on the new Intel Core i7-13700K processor from Intel, which is expected in autumn 2022. With 8+8 CPU cores (24 threads), the Intel Core i7-13700K should have the same configuration as last year's Intel Core i9-12900K. With this, Intel wants to finally clear AMD's lead in multi-core performance, which has existed for several years.

According to an internal Intel slide published at the end of last year, the Intel Core i7-13700K could have 8+8, i.e. 16 CPU cores that provide 24 threads. The interesting thing about the slide is that it was recently confirmed by newer leaks of the Intel Core i9-13900K and the Intel Core i5-13600K as the number of cores and also the size of the cache matches with recently published CPU-Z screenshots of alleged development models.

Comparison of the two processors

Here we compare the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with the Intel Core i7-13700K. Both processors are mid-range desktop processors that have good CPU performance. Both are suitable for computer games as well as more demanding applications.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D has 8 CPU cores and supports AMD's SMT technology (Simultaneous Multi-Threading), which allows the processor to execute two threads per CPU core at the same time. The processor clock frequency is 4.2 GHz. In Turbo mode, the processor can dynamically increase its clock frequency up to 5.0 GHz, provided the CPU temperature and energy consumption allow this.

The Intel Core i7-13700K uses a hybrid core structure consisting of 8 P-cores (Raptor Cove) combined with 8 E-cores (Gracemont). This results in a total of 18 CPU cores. The P-cores can also execute two threads in parallel, the E-cores are limited to one thread per CPU core. In total, there are up to 24 threads that are processed simultaneously. In demanding applications, the Intel Core i7-13700K is therefore ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D in terms of computing power.

The main feature of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the additional 3D V-Cache applied via 3D stacking, which has been increased by 64 MB Level 3. A total of 96 MB Level 3 cache is available to the processor. Computer games with CPU limits in particular benefit from this.

Both processors have a small integrated graphics solution, which is not suitable for computer games but is only used for image output or video playback.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D can address up to 128 GB of DDR5-5200 RAM. In dual-channel mode, this results in a maximum memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The Intel Core i7-13700K can use 192 GB of DDR5-5600 memory. Older DDR4 memory is also still supported on special motherboards.
