What are the opinions on 14500 in relation to 13500?
The matter is that I've been thinking about a build for a while now. Due to some reason or another, I kept delaying it. So, when I finally chose 13500, everyone said it's a better option than 12600K because the thermals are much better. Some thought it was the same as 12600K, but I don't know. Now that I'm almost done, Intel just announced 14500. On the surface it looks similar to 13500. It's strange how the 14th generation just came out without much discussion. Is this a problem or just not exciting?
The 13500 has 4 more e-cores than the 12600 and basically the same clocks, so the 13500 has better multicore performance, if you ever need it, thermals will be the same if you set them up the same, if you let them both run as hot as possible than the one with the more cores will also be hotter since it runs more cores.
(unless you put the k cpu on a z mobo and let it auto overclock)
It's all a matter of price at this point, if there is a big difference then the 12600k will still be good for a long time, if the difference is small then why not go for the one with more cores.
so, maybe 14500 just might be better, because price point is the same too, even number of cores
On PPP US, the 14500 is more affordable compared to the 13500. That makes sense?
The 14600K is priced $15 higher than the 13600K. Therefore, it seems either the 14500 or the 13600K would be the best choices based on available funds.
Not appealing, yet presently $5 lower than the 13500, available on PCPP.
Is that really such a great deal? Since it costs just $20-30, or even $15, I could easily get an aftermarket cooler.
I think it would make the CPU cooler and help it run quieter. That’s why I’d choose an aftermarket option.
