    Ryzen 5600 to i7 13700K Upgrade

    Akin to my previous upgrade, this document briefly briefly summarizes an upgrade from the Ryzen 5600 to an Intel 13th Gen Core i7-13700K.

    This includes an upgrade of RAM to 32GB DDR5 @ 6000Mhz.

    Also as last time, the unscientific aggregate percentile increase from all tests below averaged to 60.8723%. The only category that did not increase was single-threaded SysBench CPU performance, but all other tests had substantial increases.

    Benchmarking

    Benchmarking was done lazily and used whatever defaults were available. Additionally, each test was only run once.
