Core i7-13700TE

2023

Why buy it

✅Better for gaming: +12.7% higher average FPS across 50 shared CPU benchmark tests.
✅+275% larger total L3 cache (30 MB vs 8 MB).
✅100+% more PCIe lanes (20 vs 0) for storage and expansion-heavy builds.
✅Integrated graphics onboard with UHD Graphics 770, while Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 needs a discrete GPU.

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark (22,026 vs 22,051).
❌Launch MSRP is still $390 MSRP, while Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 mostly shows up through inconsistent older-market listings.
❌25% higher power demand at 35W vs 28W.

Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360

2025

Why buy it

✅+0.1% higher PassMark.
✅Draws 28W instead of 35W, a 7W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Worse for gaming: lower average FPS than Core i7-13700TE across 50 shared CPU benchmark tests.
❌Smaller total L3 cache (8 MB vs 30 MB).
❌No integrated graphics, while Core i7-13700TE can still boot and troubleshoot without a discrete GPU.
