Intel Core i7-10700K vs Intel Core i7-13700K

Core i7-10700K vs Core i7-13700K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-13700K is faster than the Core i7-10700K. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-10700K in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-13700K has significantly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Core i7-10700K that has 8 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i7-10700K. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-10700K has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-13700K. Despite this, the Core i7-13700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-13700K has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-10700K. The Core i7-13700K also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i7-10700K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
