Intel Core i5-3570K vs Intel Core i5-13600K

Core i5-3570K vs Core i5-13600K specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-13600K beats the Core i5-3570K in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-3570K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-13600K has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the Core i5-3570K that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-3570K. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-3570K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-13600K. Despite this, the Core i5-13600K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-3570K CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-13600K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-3570K has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
