I don’t know which to get. I currently have a i5-9600k, but it’s ready for an upgrade. And there are a couple of deals.

I7 13700: 389 euro I7 14700KF: 429 euro I7 14700K: 469 euro(419 euro deal is unfortunately sold out)

I’m leaning towards the KF, but don’t know if it’s worth it. Hope to get some advice! Thanks.

    The 14700K is not really a refresh of the 13700K, it has an additional 4 E-Cores, it really is the only improved CPU among the K SKUs on the 14th gen.

    So if OP uses multi-threaded applications a lot, the additional E-Cores on the 14700K might be worth the difference in costs. In gaming, besides the 2 APO games, 13700K and 14700K perform more or less the same, the difference can be gained by slightly oc’ing the 13700K.
