UHD 770 will therefore be most commonly used in the i5-12600K as a stop-gap GPU (for temporary use while waiting to upgrade to a discrete graphics card). What’s more, hardly anyone with the means to purchase an i9-13900K will be making use of integrated graphics, as they’ll almost certainly use a high-end dedicated GPU. While this may seem like a sizable difference, the 12600K costs less than half of the 13900K. The UHD 770 GPUs packed into Intel’s newest 13th-gen Raptor Lake processors feature slightly faster boost clocks while retaining the same 300MHz base frequency: The Core i5-13600K has a max graphics dynamic frequency of 1.5GHz, the Core i5-13700K 1.6GHz, and the Core i9-13900K the maximum of 1.65GHz.Įven then, the Core i9-13900K’s pack-leading boost frequency is only 22.2% better than the lowest-end UHD 770-equipped Core i5-12600K. That’s a small 7.5% jump in performance from the Core i5-12600K to the top-of-the-line Core i9-12900K, for a rough 177% increase in cost.

While all three 12th-gen models have GPU base-clocks of 300MHz, the boost clocks of the i5-12600K, i7-12700K, and i9-12900K GPUs are 1.35 GHz, 1.4GHz, and 1.45 GHz, respectively. How big will this difference be? Rather miniscule. In other words, integrated graphics performance will vary slightly between lower and higher-end models. Whereas all graphics-equipped 11th-gen CPUs, from the i5-11600K to the i9-11900K had GPUs with the same 350MHz base and 1.3GHz boost frequencies, Alder Lake’s GPUs vary slightly in frequency. UHD 770 differs a bit from the 11th generation’s UHD 750 graphics in that there is some variation in clock speeds between models.
