Intel Core i5-13600K vs. i9-10850K for Video Editing?

Started by iSuperhero on May 26, 2024

I'm trying to decide between the Intel Core i5-13600K and i9-10850K for video editing purposes. Any advice on which one would be better for this specific task?

In addition to what @andrewsal01 and @AndItsDrew mentioned, there's an article on TechReviewer that compares these two processors in detail. You can find the comparison Intel Core i5-13600K vs. Intel Core i9-10850K. It covers things like core types, frequencies, cache capacities, and other factors that might influence your decision.

The i5-13600K has 14 total cores, while the i9-10850K has 10. For video editing, having more cores can help with handling multiple tasks simultaneously. So the i5 might have an edge in that aspect.

One thing to consider is that the i5-13600K has a single-core max turbo boost frequency of 5.10 GHz, while the i9-10850K has a slightly higher one at 5.20 GHz. This could make a difference in performance when processing video files.

That's helpful, @Lichimaru. I'll take a look at the TechReviewer article you linked. But does anyone have personal experience with either of these processors for video editing?

I've used both the i5-13600K and i9-10850K for video editing, and I must say that the extra core on the i5 made a significant difference when working with multiple layers and effects. The higher turbo frequency on the i9 also helped when exporting large files.

My experience has been similar to @andrewsal01. I found that the i5-13600K was better at handling my video editing tasks due to its additional cores, but the i9-10850K's higher turbo frequency did make a difference in some instances. It really depends on your specific needs and workflow.

I think it ultimately comes down to personal preference and the type of video editing you're doing. Both processors are capable, but they have different strengths that might appeal to different users. If you can, try to get hands-on experience with both if possible.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'll definitely check out the TechReviewer article and consider all these factors before making my decision.
