CPU INTEL 14700F 13600KF

I'm looking into getting a new CPU for 3D rendering purposes and I was wondering if the Intel Core i7-14700F or the Intel Core i5-13600KF would be better. Has anyone worked with these before?

Thanks for sharing your experiences! I found this TechReviewer article Intel Core i7-14700F vs. Intel Core i5-13600KF that provides an overview of both CPUs and their performance in various scenarios. It might help you make an informed decision.

Hi @LexisVideo! I've been using the Core i7-14700F for a couple of months now, and it's working great for me. The 20 core count and support for DDR5 really helps when I'm working on large-scale projects.

Hey @Joaolicia, that's good to know! I'm considering both CPUs, but I'm not sure which one will be better for 3D rendering in terms of speed and performance. Any suggestions?

Hi there, I've used the Core i5-13600KF recently, and it performed well for me too. The 14 core count is decent, but I think the 20 core count on the i7-14700F might be a bit better for rendering tasks.

That's really helpful, @DJredditer! The article mentions the i7-14700F has a single-core max turbo boost frequency of 5.40 GHz, which seems like it would provide better performance for rendering tasks compared to the i5-13600KF's 5.10 GHz.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But what about the L3 cache sizes? The i7-14700F has a larger one (33 MB) than the i5-13600KF (24 MB). Could that be an advantage in rendering?

Definitely! A bigger L3 cache can help improve performance, especially when working with large datasets and complex 3D models.

Good point. I also noticed that the i7-14700F supports PCIe 5.0, which would allow for faster SSDs and graphics cards. That could be beneficial for rendering tasks as well.

Thanks for all the advice! Based on what you've shared, it seems like the Intel Core i7-14700F might be a better choice for 3D rendering. I'll definitely check out the TechReviewer article Intel Core i7-14700F vs. Intel Core i5-13600KF you mentioned to get more insights.
