News and articles for the MediaTek MT8735 and the Intel Core i7-12700K

First Geekbench 5 benchmark of the Intel Core i7-13700K

Posted by Stefan on 2022-07-26

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.
