This is pretty much as fast as the 14th Gen.

Only difference between 13th and 14th gen is 14th gen has 4 additional efficiency cores. But speed wise is minimal difference.

Saw that price and high tailed it to the store to secure the bag. It was cheaper than the 13600k (by 8 cents, but still) so I figured something odd was going on. Hope it comes back one day for everyone!

I don't know why anyone would buy this when with MB & RAM you would be paying way more than any cpu/mobo/ram deal.

There have been tons of i7-12700k/mobo/32gb RAM deals for the same price as just the cpu only for this "deal".

Uh, this is a 13700.

Plus the 14th gen sucks power for no good reason, and gets hotter. The 13th is a no-brainer compared to 14th.

Unlike the delta between 13th and 14th gen, 12 to 13th gen had a substantial performance gain. The 13700k is essentially what the 12900k was, so if you are talking 12900k combo deals then yes, although the 12th gen i9 also needs a bit better of a cooling setup than the 13th gen i7 as well

uh, yeah and for a marginal cpu performance loss you get a free mobo & ram, you'd have to be insane to take that swap. In games that performance gap is essentially 0.

Define substantial, agreed it's a better generational difference than 14700, but it also gets much hotter & uses much more power than the 12700, so also needs much better & more expensive cooling to get the most of that improvement...

Again my main issue is with buying a cpu only deal like this, especially at this price. If you're going with a 13700k bundles are a much better value. You won't be able to get mobo & 32gb RAM for $100 anywhere.

Just leaving this here. No way I'd buy this or 14th gen over a $200 12700k

If you live near a micro center go there and buy their Black Friday combo. It's a i7 14700k and z790 msi WiFi board, and 32gb of ram for $500
