Intel's 13th generation Core processor has finally been released! As the price of graphics cards collapsed, friends who are planning to install the computer were very happy. So is there any 13th-generation Core processor? This article will tell you the answer.
13 generation Core i5 processors have released two models, i5-13600KF and i5-13600K. Among them, i5-13600KF cut off the core graphics card , and the price is 200 yuan cheaper. As for how to choose these two processors, it depends on whether you plan to buy a 30-Series independent graphics card. As for the current situation, 30-Series graphics card is not recommended because the probability of buying a mine card is too high. The author recommends waiting for the 40-Series "dessert-level" graphics card. Adding 200 yuan to buy a core graphics card is a relatively safe choice. What's more, the core graphics card equipped with this processor is also very good, and it's not a problem to play games like "League of Legends".
Let’s take a look at the performance of i5-13600K. The processor still adopts a large core + small core design, with 6 performance cores, 8 energy efficiency cores, and 20 thread numbers. The performance core turbo frequency is as high as 5.1GHz. Even the energy efficiency core has a frequency of up to 3.9GHz. Judging from the paper parameters alone, this processor is quite good in terms of single core performance and multi-core performance. In terms of compatibility, Intel's 13th generation processor supports both 600 and 700 series motherboards. Not only that, it is also compatible with DDR4 and DDR5 memory. The Intel generation processor finally has a conscience, but it is a bit regrettable that the process technology is still 10nm, so the thermal design power consumption has also reached 125W, and the actual power consumption will only be higher.
Therefore, the author recommends choosing a 6-copper tube radiator. If it is water-cooled , 480 cold row starts, Limin PA120 uses 6-copper tube and dual fan design, which is enough to press i5-13600K.
Let’s look at the motherboard again. Although i5-13600K supports overclocking, the author does not recommend choosing the Z series motherboard. There are two reasons. First, the price of the Z series motherboard is too high, and secondly, the overclocking of i5-13600K is too low. The motherboard of the B660 chipset is priced at the right price, and it can fully utilize the full performance of the i5-13600K in non-overclocking state. You can buy a model with a very good configuration for around 1,000 yuan.
Let’s look at the memory stick. As mentioned earlier, i5-13600K supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. memory frequency has a relatively large impact on the gaming experience, especially for games like " PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ". If the budget is sufficient, the author still recommends choosing DDR5 memory with a frequency of 5600MHz. There is no need to buy DDR5 memory with too high frequency, because the B660 chipset motherboard does not necessarily support it. Two 8GB pieces of 16GB dual channels are enough to meet most usage scenarios. In terms of storage, i5-13600K and B660 chipset motherboards support PCIe 4.0 solid-state drive . Currently, the price of flash particles is relatively low. If the budget is sufficient, the author recommends choosing a 1TB capacity PCIe 4.0 solid-state drive, the price is around 1,000 yuan. Although the power supply is not directly related to performance, it is closely related to the stability of the computer. The higher the 80 Plus certification level, the higher the energy conversion efficiency of this power supply, which can also reflect the quality of a power supply from the side. The author recommends choosing brands such as and Zhenhua , which is more guaranteed. Considering the power consumption of the processor and independent graphics card, the rated power is at least 650W, which will be safer.
The author does not recommend choosing a chassis with an oversized size, especially when installing a separate graphics card. Although this configuration does not have a separate graphics card, considering that the 40 Series graphics card will be upgraded later, it will be safer to choose a larger chassis. When using a computer, you should pay attention to "going together". Only when the hardware with the same positioning is combined can the performance of the hardware. Do you have any better configuration recommendations for the 13th generation Core processor? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to tell us and look forward to your wonderful comments!
