Intel Core i5-7500 vs Intel Core i5-13600K

Core i5-7500 vs Core i5-13600K comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-13600K is faster than the Core i5-7500. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-7500 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 i5-7500 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-7500. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-7500 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 i5-7500 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 info from our database shows that the Core i5-13600K has more L2 cache than the Core i5-7500. The Core i5-13600K also has significantly more L3 cache.

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 i5-7500 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
