Comparison of the two processors

The two processors in this comparison come from the 13th generation of Intel's Core i family and are based on the Raptor Lake S architecture. They came onto the market in parallel in the fourth quarter of 2022 and come from Intel's desktop segment. The processors are designed for the LGA 1700 socket and are manufactured with a structure width of 10 nanometers in a monolithic chip design.

The Intel Core i5-13600KF has a hybrid core architecture with 6 performance cores (codename Raptor Cove) and 8 efficiency cores (codename Gracemont). The performance cores here clock at up to 5.10 gigahertz and support hyperthreading, the maximum clock speed of the efficiency cores is 3.90 gigahertz and they do not support hyperthreading, which means that the processor has a total of 14 physical cores and 20 computing threads available. Intel Core i7-13700KF has a similar structure, but uses two more performance cores. In addition, the maximum clock speed of the i7 processor is also slightly higher, the performance cores clock at up to 5.40 gigahertz and the maximum clock speed of the efficiency cores is also higher at 4.20 gigahertz. Furthermore, both processors have a free multiplier, which means they can be overclocked with appropriate cooling.

The processors do not have an internal graphics unit, but both have 20 PCIe lines in version 5.0 available, which can be used to connect a dedicated graphics card. The maximum bandwidth of these PCIe lines is 78.8 GB/s.

Both processors are equipped with 2 memory channels. In total, they can be operated with up to 192 gigabytes of RAM, with both DDR4 and DDR5 RAM modules supported. In addition, even ECC memory, i.e. memory with automatic error correction, is supported.
