Intel Core i5-13500
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- To keep your system running perfectly, the Intel Core i5-13500 is the best choice. It gives you the high core count of the i5-14600KF but stays within the power limits that your motherboard can actually handle.
- Update your motherboard BIOS and hunt for a i5-13500 or i5-14500. Perfect candidates to replace the i5-12400F and won't cost a fortune.
- Naturally, as my i5-13500 did 6800MHz in XMP, I was surprised that the 13700kf did not and reached out here.
- My prior CPU was an i5-13500 and had no issue working with my Gskill 2x16Gb 6800Mhz (34-45-45-108) DDR5 in "Tweaked XMP" (tighter than usual) on my measly Asus B760i (so, only 2 ram slots, which is at least "better".)
- The Intel Core i5-13500 paired with the RTX 4070 Ti has handled both my workloads and gaming quite comfortably.
Cons
- You're not going to get 8 simultaneous 4k transcodes from an i5-13500. I think you need something like a 4060 or 5050 for that.
