Comparison of the two processors

The Intel Core i7-13700K and the Intel Core i7-13700KF are almost identical in terms of technical structure. The only difference between the processors is the integrated graphics unit (iGPU), which has been deactivated in the Intel Core i7-13700KF.

The iGPU is responsible for the image output in a system. Since more powerful systems often use a dedicated graphics unit anyway, many users do without the iGPU in the processor because it is actually no longer needed. On the other hand, the Intel processors with a deactivated iGPU are usually a bit cheaper.

What many people don't even know is that iGPU and dedicated graphics card can be used together. However, an Intel Z chipset, i.e. the most expensive expansion stage of the respective mainboard, is required for this. Both graphics cards can only be operated in parallel on these mainboards. The iGPU can then take over the image output on the desktop or when surfing the Internet, because a lot of energy can be saved where the performance of the dedicated graphics card is not required.

However, since the image signal always has to be routed via the mainboard, this hybrid use can also have disadvantages in terms of performance. Depending on the operating system, Intel processor, graphics card and mainboard, the configuration can be a bit more difficult. Intel and NVIDIA call this technology NVIDIA Optimus. It is mainly used on notebooks.

Due to the difficulties and also the disadvantages in performance, most users only rely on the use of the dedicated graphics card. In notebooks, on the other hand, parallel use is often used, which is then configured directly at the factory.

Both the Intel Core i7-13700K and the Intel Core i7-13700KF have 16 CPU cores (big.LITTLE structure) and can process 24 threads simultaneously.
