Core i5-13600 vs. Core i7-12700K - Performance Differences?

I'm trying to decide between the Intel Core i5-13600 and the Core i7-12700K for my new build, but I can't seem to find a clear answer on which one is better. Any advice would be helpful.

Both are excellent choices, but the Core i7-12700K generally has better overall performance due to its higher core counts, base frequency, and turbo frequencies. However, the Core i5-13600 isn't far behind.

The TechReviewer article Intel Core i5-13600 vs. Intel Core i7-12700K provides a comprehensive comparison of the two processors. I think you'll find it helpful for your decision-making process.

Thanks, @CandySona. That's interesting to know. And thanks for sharing the link, @Infamouskiwi59. I'll definitely check it out.

Another factor to consider is that the Core i7-12700K supports overclocking while the Core i5-13600 does not. This could potentially give the 12700K an edge in performance.

Good point, @Minime1251. Overclocking can lead to improved performance, but it also comes with risks such as heat and potential damage if not done carefully.

That's something I hadn't considered. I'm a bit nervous about overclocking, so I might stick with the Core i5-13600 then. Thanks for all the input, everyone.

No problem, @SellingRice. It ultimately comes down to your comfort level and how much performance you need. Both processors are great choices. Just make sure to keep an eye on temperatures if you decide to overclock.
