SeekerIntel Core i7-13700k
The Core i7 13700k packs an impressive performance punch. It can easily outperform the last gen’s topper and challenge the likes of the Ryzen 7 7900X. This goes to show the class and performance that this new SKU packs, all thanks to the new architecture benefits. This CPU sits nicely between the i9 13900k and i5 13600k. When we tested the Core i5 13600k, we found that it is easily a best-value gaming CPU from the blue camp. That still holds, but if you want to cash in the extra performance over the gaming, then the Core i7 13700k, with its might and glory yet, is the one.

The Intel Core i7-13700K is an outstanding processor for just about every purpose, making it a great workhorse CPU that can get all manner of work done quickly. Its energy efficiency is laughable, unfortunately, making it a poor choice for any low-profile, low-power PC builds despite it being well-priced.
