Nice! I upgraded from an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X to this CPU (and the components below) and I couldn’t be happier. Everything opens almost instantly, whether it be Windows 11’s File Explorer, Edge browser and webpages, and opening files in general. I upgraded primarily because I am a developer, and Visual Studio + Dotfuscator would take almost 8 minutes to compile and obfuscate my largest program on my old build. After upgrading, it now compiles in about 4 mins 45 seconds. The longest part is Dotfuscator, not Visual Studio compiling. Compiling happens in seconds on this setup.My components: MSI MPG Z790 Carbon WiFi Gaming Motherboard Intel Core i7-13700K Desktop Processor (this CPU) CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 5600MHz MSI MPG A1000G PCIE 5 & ATX 3.0 Gaming Power Supply – Full Modular – 80 Plus Gold Certified 1000W Corsair MP700 2TB PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe 2.0 M.2 SSD Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo White CPU Air Cooler MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Graphics Card I don’t game much, but there is a noticeable difference loading and playing Cities: Skylines after upgrading, too.I am very happy with the new PC. Everything runs smoothly, I haven’t had a single crash running the XMP Profile in BIOS for my RAM so it runs at full speeds. This CPU blows the Ryzen 7 5800X out of the water. Check out the UserBenchmark: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X vs Intel Core i7-13700K comparison on UserBenchmark’s website for details, which is what I did before purchase. It lives up to the benchmarks for me.
