I've been considering getting a new CPU for multitasking and heavy workloads. I'm torn between the Intel Core i9-13900KS and the i7-13700. Can anyone provide some insights on which one is better for multitasking? I need something that can handle multiple tasks simultaneously without slowing down.
Intel Core i9-13900KS vs. i7-13700 for Multitasking?

Both of those CPUs should be able to handle multitasking well, but you'll definitely see a difference in performance depending on your workload. The i9-13900KS has more cores and threads, which means it can process more data at once compared to the i7-13700.
@deekyfreaky, I've been using an Intel Core i9-13900KS for multitasking purposes lately, and I found that it outperforms the i7-13700. I read a comprehensive comparison on TechReviewer Intel Core i9-13900KS vs. Intel Core i7-13700 that talks about their performance differences in detail. You might find it helpful.
@DomanoSV, thanks for the input! I didn't realize there was such a significant difference between the two CPUs. Do you think the extra cores and threads of the i9-13900KS would make a noticeable difference in my daily multitasking tasks?
The additional cores and threads on the Intel Core i9-13900KS should definitely make a difference, especially when running multiple resource-intensive applications simultaneously. You'll notice improved performance when working with large files or video editing.
@deekyfreaky, I've been using both CPUs for some time now, and I can confirm that the i9-13900KS is better suited for multitasking due to its extra cores and threads. The i7-13700 also performs well, but it's not as efficient in handling multiple tasks.
@Snapchatinsomniac, thank you! That confirms what I was suspecting. Since I'm going to be working with large files and possibly video editing software, the i9-13900KS seems like a better choice for me. Can anyone recommend any good cooling solutions that would work well with this CPU?
@deekyfreaky, you're welcome! For the i9-13900KS, I'd recommend using a high-end air cooler or an AIO liquid cooler to keep temperatures in check while overclocking. The Noctua NH-D15 is a great air cooler, and for AIO options, the Corsair H100i RGB Platinum or the NZXT Kraken X63 should work well.
@mikebwesty, thanks for your suggestions! I'll definitely look into those cooling solutions. One last question, do you think upgrading to this new CPU will make a noticeable difference in my day-to-day multitasking tasks?
@deekyfreaky, it really depends on the specific tasks you're running. If your current setup is already maxed out and you're often hitting performance bottlenecks, then yes, an upgrade to the i9-13900KS will make a noticeable difference. If not, you might not see as big of an impact. It's always best to try it out for yourself if possible.
@DomanoSV, that makes sense. I'll have to test it out myself to see if the upgrade would be worthwhile. Thanks everyone for your insights!
