日本[Comparison] Intel Core i7-13700HX vs Intel Core i7-13700H – Not much of a difference
We’ve compared the Core i9s, and now it’s time for the Core i7s, with both the Core i7-13700HX and the Core i7-13700H going head to head. Manufacturers are getting more and more comfortable with implementing more powerful hardware, even in smaller laptops where perhaps they have no place. However, for the sake of being fair, we’ll choose the best-performing laptops with these processors, which almost always are gaming devices, which carry their bulk with flair and style.
Today we’re presenting you with a comparison between the Intel Core i7-13700HX and the Core i7-13700H.
You can find more information about both processors here: Intel Core i7-13700HX / Core i7-13700H
The Core i7-13700HX comes with 16 cores and 24 threads. Since the 13th Gen processors use a hybrid architecture, the cores are divided into two pairs, Performance cores with two threads per core, and Efficiency cores with only one thread per core. The HX-series Core i7 has 8 Performance cores and 6 Efficiency cores. The HX series also sports a higher base TDP of 55W. On the other hand, the Core i7-13700H is super close to the Core i7-12700H from last year, with 6 Performance cores and 8 Efficiency cores. It also has the so-far standard base TDP of 45W.
Specs table
| Intel Core i7-13700HX | Intel Core i7-13700H | |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Raptor Lake-HX | Raptor Lake-H |
| Cores / Threads | 16/24 | 14/20 |
| Clock Speeds – Base/Boost | 1.50 – 5.00GHz | 1.80 – 5.40GHz |
| Cache | 30MB | 24MB |
| Lithography | 10nm | 10nm |
| TDP | 55W | 45W |
| Memory type | DDR5-5600 | DDR5-4800, LPDDR5-5200 |
| Integrated GPU | Intel UHD Graphics 770 | Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 (96EU) |
Performance
The two extra Performance cores of the Core i7-13700HX contribute to a 4% higher score in Cinebench R23, which isn’t really a lot. Moving over to Photoshop, we see the 55W CPU be the favorite again with a lead of around 0.4 seconds.
Results are from the Cinebench R23 CPU test (the higher the score, the better)
Results are from our Photoshop benchmark test (the lower the score, the better)
Conclusion
The difference between the HX-series and the H-series is becoming smaller, as we go down the totem pole. As you can see, both CPUs perform well, and scores are becoming closer and closer. For what it is, we don’t feel like you need to shell out the extra money to get the Core i7-13700HX, while the i7-13700H is here and delivers pretty similar performance.
