Intel Core i7-13700K Review - Great at Gaming and Applications
Test Setup »Unboxing and Photography
The Core i7-13700K comes in a modest paperboard box, nothing flashy like the i9-13900K. Inside, you just get the processor, a case-badge, and some documentation.
The Core i7-13700K processor package looks like the 12th Gen processor package, as it shares the same LGA1700 socket. It's backwards-compatible with 600-series chipset motherboards with a BIOS update.
The retail Core i7-13700K box doesn't include a cooler, but you can pick up any LGA1700 cooler—there's plenty of choice. Just make sure it can handle the thermal load.
