However, it seems that those chasing the highest possible performance should consider purchasing a DDR5-based platform. In fact, tests carried out on a Core i7-13700K processor on Geekbench showed performance in multi-core workloads 20% higher (while in single core ones they were practically the same), a rather significant difference.
The systems in question were composed, in addition to the Core i7-13700K CPU, by an ASRock Z690 Steel Legend WiFi 6E motherboard with 32GB of DDR4-3200 (2x16GB) for DDR4 tests and an ASRock Z690 Steel Legend WiFi 6E / D5 motherboard with 32GB of DDR5-5200 (2x16GB) for DDR5 ones.

The initial line-up should include the Core i9-13900K, Core i7-13700K and Core i5-13600K, as well as the high-end Z790 platform. The Core i7-13700K chip will have 16 cores, split between eight Raptor Cove P-cores and eight Gracemont E-cores, 30MB of L3 cache, and presumably a base clock of 3.4GHz and a Boost Clock of 5.3GHz. Performance-wise, it should outperform even an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X.| ); }
A couple of months ago, we told you about two new 32GB kits (2x16GB ) by TeamGroup, part of the T-FORCE DELTA RGB series. These are models with RGB LED lighting, one of which has a low latency CL30 with a frequency of 6000MHz and the other with a more stringent clock of 6600MHz. For more details, we advise you to read our previous dedicated article.
