Intel Core i5-13600K Desktop Processor 14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) 24M Cache, up to 5.1 GHz

I upgraded from an i7-9700k to the i5-13600k. WOW! Huge difference. Faster load times, better gaming frame rates in games that depend on the CPU more than the GPU, no stuttering in intense games.

I LOVE THIS CPU. Its marketed as a value chip for the performance conscious gamer - at least in the reviews Ive seen but that misses the mark. At 70 fewer watts than the i9-13900K you can actually cool the thing on air and enjoy similar single core performance, and with a respectable multicore performance score as well.

No CPU or VRM throttling like I was experiencing with my 11th Gen i5. Games are running smoothly video is crisp and silky. I highly recommend this CPU.

amazing, has handled everything I have thrown at it, over overclocked or tuned anything yet.

probably the best intel chip ever its so good it runs 30 fps in fortnite battle royale and it the pretty good rob lox

To think that an i5 nowadays has 14 cores/20 threads is just crazy. This CPU is very capable and handles anything I throw at it with ease. Does the average user really need even an i7 or i9 at this point?

its super fast, runs cool with a D15

I was able to get my 13600K to 5.5GHz on the P Cores and 4.2GHz on the E cores at 1.27V which equals to about 195 Watts at 100% utilization.

This CPU runs real fast when paired with good RAM. Im hitting 25,500 in cinebench r23 multi core workload. I manually overclocked it to 5.3ghz p-core, 4.6ghz e-core. It definitely produces a lot of heat, so make sure to get a big AIO or high end air cooler. You do not want to cheap out on a cooling solution or else youll be leaving performance on the table.

Fit well, works well, enough said. Enjoying gaming on my new setup.
