The Core i7-13700K's Intel UHD Graphics 770 benefit from slightly higher clock speeds and faster RAM that gives it an edge over older Alder Lake parts, but that's not all that matters when it comes to gaming. Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics only: to use the Intel® Iris® Xe brand, the system must be populated with 128-bit (dual channel) memory. Built for modern gaming, streaming, and recording, Intel’s performance hybrid architecture with up to eight Performance-cores and up to 16 Efficient-core makes it all possible.

Other non-Raptor Lake CPUs we tested were operated at lower memory speeds according to their respective supported maximums. Raptor Lake CPUs offer around 10% faster gaming and 45% faster multi-core performance than their predecessors.

ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. Superior performance, no matter what type of creator you are, lets you stream, browse, edit, video chat, and just take care of business. However, the performance delta was so great that the Ryzen 9 7900 really doesn't compete with the Core i7-13700K. If you have a very high-end GPU and differences in frame rate of 5% or so are your concern, you may want to look at one of the AMD gaming-focused specialty chips to squeeze out every last drop.

You'll likely only see slight advantages from chips like the 3D V-cache-enabled AMDs with GPUs higher-end than the already elite RTX 3080. System or device display resolution is dependent on multiple system design factors; actual resolution may be lower on your system.Kaza (UK) Limited acts as a credit intermediary and offers credit products provided by Klarna Bank AB (publ).

Expanded memory options are available thanks to both DDR4 and DDR5 memory configurations, whilst peripherals can be connected easily with the supported Thunderbolt 4 technology.

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. identifies the best performing core(s) on a processor and provides increased performance on those cores through increasing frequency as needed by taking advantage of power and thermal headroom.

The Core i7-13700K's IGP was once again the fastest in Bioshock Infinite, but the older Core i7-12700K and Core i5-12600K took a notable and unexpected lead in Tomb Raider. Though gaming will undeniably be much better with a discrete GPU, you can still have a relatively enjoyable gaming experience with one of these processors as long as you accept its limitations and stick to games for which it's suited.
