13600k beats the 12700k in everything and costs lessIs it worth it ?
I currently just use ddr4 so guessing not worth it yet. Could be wrong.
Can not really find a ddr4 vs ddr5 benchmarks.
Did the same. Cost me less than $200 to upgrade.I upgraded a 12700K to the 13700K. Kept the same Z690 board and DDR4 memory and I was able to sell the 12700K for a decent price so the cash outlay for the upgrade wasn't much. The Raptor Lake is better matched with the 4090 IMO. Notably less CPU bottlenecking in games. Multithreaded apps also benefit significantly.
As for daily computer usage, not so much improvement, if at all.
Raptor Lake e-cores clocked to reasonable limits are almost as fast as Sky Lake cores (anything from 6th to 10th gen Core) so it was probably good time to upgrade.I upgrade every 4th/5th gen, so can't imagine much improvement going up a single gen. I almost waited until 14th gen, but got a sweet deal on my Z790 mobo and i7-13700.
By the time the 12700 is outdated, the 13xxx ones will be also.
