The video offers a comprehensive comparison between Intel’s Core i7-13700K and AMD’s Ryzen 7 7700X across various benchmarks, gaming performance, and productivity workloads to determine the better CPU. Both CPUs exhibit unique advantages: the Intel 13700K, with its 16 cores and 24 threads, outperforms the AMD 7700X in most productivity benchmarks, such as Blender, V-Ray, and video encoding tasks. It also has a higher average speed (23% faster in benchmarks) but consumes more power. On the other hand, AMD's 7700X, with 8 cores and 16 threads, shows better power efficiency and lower costs.
Gaming performance varies depending on the resolution and specific titles. The 7700X generally excels in eSports titles and some games at 1080p and 1440p, while the 13700K performs better in select AAA titles. At 4K, the differences diminish due to GPU constraints. Despite Intel's hardware advantages in specific productivity tasks, the 7700X offers superior value in gaming scenarios, particularly given its lower price and better cost per frame ratio.
Furthermore, the video highlights relevant future considerations: Intel's current platform may not offer as much longevity compared to AMD's AM5 socket, which promises support through 2025. Overall, the choice between the two CPUs hinges on the user's specific needs—productivity-intensive tasks favor the Intel 13700K, while the AMD 7700X is recommended for gaming and future-proofing within a budget.

In this part of the video, the presenter compares Intel’s Core i7-13700K with AMD’s Ryzen 7 7700X across 24 games and applications to determine the better CPU. The 7700X features 8 cores and 16 threads, while the 13700K has 8 performance cores with 16 threads and an additional 8 efficient cores, totaling 16 cores and 24 threads. The 13700K has more L2 cache but less L3 cache, and both CPUs share a 5.4GHz turbo boost clock speed. The 7700X is priced at $399 USD compared to the 13700K’s $450, with a KF version available for $20 less. The price difference of $30 to $50 is a primary reason for this comparison. The presenter uses identical memory kits, the latest Windows 11, and Nvidia drivers for both CPUs, with no power limits imposed. The segment begins with Cinebench R23 tests, where the 13700K leads in single and multi-threaded performance but consumes significantly more power, making the 7700X more power-efficient. However, the temperatures of both CPUs are not directly comparable due to different thermal sensing methods. Despite the 13700K’s initial lead, the 7700X performs better in games, setting the stage for further productivity workload comparisons.

In this segment, various benchmarks are compared between Intel’s Core i7-13700K and AMD’s Ryzen 7 7700X. The 13700K outperforms the 7700X in Blender’s Open Data benchmark by 45%, V-Ray by 38%, and Corona renderer by 49%, though it uses more power. In Linux kernel compilation and LLVM compilation under Ubuntu 22.04, the 13700K is 33% faster. In Windows, using Handbrake, the 13700K converts 4K video to 1080p h.265 33% faster. Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve show smaller gaps with 11% and 7% higher scores for the 13700K, respectively. Adobe Photoshop sees a 5% improvement, aligning with the 6% single-core lead in Cinebench. Microsoft Office tests reveal Intel leading only in Excel, while AMD excels in Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint. In 7-Zip, the 13700K achieves 31% and 21% faster compression and decompression. Intel also leads in AES cryptography by 20% in decryption and 17% in encryption. Despite AMD’s slight single-core performance lead in Geekbench due to AVX512 support, the 13700K maintains a 46% multicore lead. Overall, the 13700K averages 23% faster than the 7700X in these tests.

In this part of the video, the narrator discusses the performance comparison between Intel and AMD processors, focusing on both single and multi-threaded workloads. It is noted that while Intel generally performs better and offers more value for multicore performance, this can vary significantly based on the specific workload. For instance, Intel excels in Cinebench, but when tested with Adobe Premiere, the performance gap narrows.
The video further delves into gaming performance by comparing the two processors across 24 games at different resolutions (1080p, 1440p, 4K). Results show that the AMD 7700X performs better in Red Dead Redemption 2, especially at 1080p, while Intel’s 13700K takes the lead in Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Halo Infinite at 1080p and 1440p. However, differences at 4K are marginal due to GPU constraints. Additional comparisons in other games like Metro Exodus Enhanced, Forza Horizon 5, and Total War: WARHAMMER III highlight varying performance gains, indicating that the ideal CPU choice heavily depends on the specific use case and resolution.

In this part of the video, the performance comparison between Intel’s Core i7-13700K and AMD’s Ryzen 7 7700X across various games is discussed. Key findings include that the 7700X generally performs better in eSports titles like CS:GO and Fortnite, with notable frame rate advantages at 1080p and 1440p. Far Cry 6 shows minor gains for Intel, while Microsoft Flight Simulator favors AMD. Across 24 games tested, the 7700X averages 2.5% faster at 1080p and 1% faster at 1440p, with minimal differences at 4K due to GPU limitations. Overall, AMD’s 7700X offers better performance at a lower price for most games.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the value proposition of the Intel 13700KF and AMD 7700X processors. The 7700X is highlighted as offering better value in terms of cost per frame, even though the 13700KF is cheaper if you opt out of integrated graphics. The comparison is based on CPU price alone, not total platform costs, with both processors running DDR5 for fairness. Gaming performance favors the 7700X, while productivity workloads benefit from the 13700K’s additional cores and threads, albeit with higher power usage. The presenter notes that Intel’s 13th gen platform is limited in future upgradability compared to AMD’s AM5 socket, supported through 2025. They express a personal preference for AMD’s future-proofing. The segment ends by inviting viewers to share their CPU preference and suggests related videos for different budget ranges.
