Product Information

Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics only: to use the Intel® Iris® Xe brand, the system must be populated with 128-bit (dual channel) memory. Otherwise, use the Intel® UHD brand. Based on our evaluation of using AMD's Ryzen 5 7600 CPU for gaming, you can expect excellent game performance with a high-performance CPU cooler. Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html for details. Note - If you would like to make a small change to the specification call our sales team on 01782 444455 and they will be happy to help. Faster PC memory can improve game and professional tool performance by reducing the time it takes to perform calculations and data operations.

The more cores a CPU has, the more applications you can run simultaneously without noticing a performance impact. Intel classifications are for general, educational and planning purposes only and consist of Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) numbers. Any use made of Intel classifications are without recourse to Intel and shall not be construed as a representation or warranty regarding the proper ECCN or HTS. Your company as an importer and/or exporter is responsible for determining the correct classification of your transaction.

This article compares AMD's Ryzen 5 7600 and Intel's Core i5-13600KF desktop CPUs. We evaluated AMD's Ryzen 5 7600 and Intel's Core i5-13600KF desktop CPUs to determine which would be better for various use cases. We shaped our testing methodology to focus on each CPU's attributes rather than relying solely on benchmarks. On 3Dmark’s CPU Profile, which includes six tests that feature custom simulations, the i5-13600K scored 10,370. All six tests use the same workload with variations in threading. Based on our evaluation of using AMD's Ryzen 5 7600 CPU for general apps, you can expect excellent app performance with a high-performance CPU cooler.

Processors that support 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture require an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Compared to Intel’s ultra-powerful “laptop” processor, the Core i9-12900HX, the i5-13600K can hold its own in Corona but pulls ahead in Cinebench, Geekbench, and 7-Zip, and loses in CPU-Z. The i9-12900HX is a “mobile desktop” processor and is currently the most powerful you can get in any laptop.See our best Z690 motherboards for some ideas, as they will be more affordable than the newer Z790s). Office and web applications are typically single-threaded, so running a single application won't take advantage of a many-core CPU. Based on our evaluation of using AMD's Ryzen 5 7600 CPU for professional tools, you can expect excellent tool performance with a high-performance CPU cooler. Based around the epic gaming CPU, the new Intel 13th Generation Core i5 13600KF, the Tritium is a true multi-disciplined gaming PC. Gaming and Streaming, Content Creation, it does it all and it does it well! Its 8 Efficiency cores have a 2.60 GHz base frequency and support a 3.90 GHz max turbo boost frequency.

With a TDP of 125 W, the Core i5-13600KF consumes a lot of power, so good cooling is definitely needed. Intel's processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel interface. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the machine, Core i5-13600KF uses a PCI-Express Gen 5 connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a separate graphics card. Video editors, 2D and 3D graphics tools, software compilers, and engineering tools require high-performing CPUs.Boost frequencies are only achieved under ideal circumstances. However, with adequate cooling, you may be able to maintain speeds near the max boost frequency. But on a HandBrake 4K encode, Geekbench, Cinebench, CPU-Z, Corona, and Blender, all the results favor Intel’s newest Core i5 over AMD despite the Ryzen 7 7700X peaking at 5.4GHz (Intel is “just” 5.1GHz), having more L3 cache, and being on a 5nm manufacturing node. But AMD uses less power at just 105 watts instead of the i5’s peak of 181 watts, so there’s that. If you're only planning to stream shows, use office apps, or browse the internet, you won't need a top-end CPU to get good performance. The most important CPU capability for general app usage is the single-core max boost frequency. Based on our evaluation of using Intel's Core i5-13600KF CPU for gaming, you can expect good game performance with a high-performance CPU cooler. Based on our evaluation of using Intel's Core i5-13600KF CPU for general apps, you can expect excellent app performance with a high-performance CPU cooler.

Office and web applications rarely max out the CPU for long periods. These applications can use boost speeds when a burst of processing power is needed, returning to the more efficient base frequencies afterward. Intel's Core i5-13600KF CPUs have 6 Performance cores (P-cores) and 8 Efficiency cores (E-cores) for a total of 14 cores. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 has a 3.8 GHz base frequency and supports a 5.1 GHz single-core max boost frequency. See http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/hyper-threading/hyper-threading-technology.html?wapkw=hyper+threading for more information including details on which processors support Intel® HT Technology.With a choice of high airflow, digital RGB gaming cases and braided cables in a stunning selection of colours, the Tritium can be customised to suit your own personal aesthetic tastes. Specifications Case Free items provided in conjunction with any components are only provided with this PC if specifically stated in the description above. We found that, in general, more cores do provide better performance in professional tools and when running multiple applications simultaneously.
