Thanks to all who have posted; i've actually now purchased an i5 13600k that was in Overclockers 'B grade' clearance section yesterday evening.

The Core i7-13700K is notably power-hungry, drawing 364 watts (W) of total system power in Cinebench and 544W in Adobe Premiere. Functionality, performance, and other benefits of this feature may vary depending on system configuration. The 13th Gen Intel Core processor family offers faster P-cores and more E-cores with support for DDR4/DDR5 and PCIe 4. That will certainly help the Core i7-13700K in our upcoming benchmarks, especially the single-threaded tests. The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units).Generation Intel Core desktop processors delivers broad spectrum support to enable you to personalise and optimise your system to suit your needs using the latest gaming technologies. Kaza (UK) Limited acts as a credit intermediary and offers credit products provided by Klarna Bank AB (publ). but all you'll really need to do is enable XMP to let your ram run at full speed unless you want to do more tinkering. Even the AMD chips, which struggle in some games, can run old games like Tomb Raider or Bioshock Infinite if you don't crank resolution or graphics settings too high.

Intel’s new performance hybrid architecture will push your gameplay beyond performance and into your most immersive experience yet. I began working on computers owned by immediate family members and relatives when I was around 10 years old. Hardware unboxed reviewed the 12700 and TPU reviewed the 10700, I know they're different CPUs (and even architecture in the latter case), but I think many of their points are still valid versus the K i5.

Gen Intel Core processors advances performance hybrid architecture with up to eight Performance-cores (P-core) and up to 16 Efficient-cores (E-core), combined with workloads intelligently routed by Intel® Thread Director. Though the test scores here aren't directly indicative of real-world performance for any specific applications, the information can help us to understand the other test scores. Intel® 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software. For as long as I can remember, I've had love of all things tech, spurred on, in part, by a love of gaming.
