Core i7-13700 vs Core i5-14600KF benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-13700 is faster than the Core i5-14600KF. Despite this, the Core i5-14600KF has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i7-13700 has slightly more cores with 16 cores compared to the Core i5-14600KF that has 14 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-14600KF. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-14600KF has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-13700. In terms of cache, both these CPUs have the same amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-13700 also has slightly 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. Indeed, the Core i7-13700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
