Consider purchasing the 12600kf for €246 or the 13600kf for €350. Ideal for gaming setups including a RTX 3070, 16GB DDR4, Z690 GPU, 650W gold PSU, 1TB NVMe, and running at 1440p144Hz.

It varies. If your budget covers it, go for that option.

Check if spending €100 for a 13,600kf price is better than getting 12,600kf and saving €100. Consider what you might lose.

The 13600kf delivers quicker performance and offers double the E-cores compared to its predecessor. It makes a noticeable impact under all workloads, though the extra 100 euros is a question of value. For casual gaming, the 12600kf should suffice. If you can afford it, opt for the 13600kf.

Consider if you require 12600k or 12700k; the 13600k is only needed if you prefer 12700k for better balance. If you were focusing on 12600K instead of 12700K, skip the 13600k.

It's not necessarily more expensive at 13600K if it offers the same performance.

I selected the same option, opting for a slightly bigger cache and increased clock speeds. I believe the eco options aren't more beneficial than 4 since you won’t reach saturation with background tasks. The additional 8 cache bump also aids more on the DDR4 platform by keeping data closer to the core rather than constantly swapping information. You might just reduce the voltage to 1.25V for a modest OOC and have a similar experience.
