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

Good cpu

The i5-13600k seemed to be the sweet spot of price/performance among both Intel and AMD processors right now. For most of what I use a computer for, this is way overkill, even for most PC games I play. My RTX 3070 graphics card is now the bottleneck in games, by a long shot (though thats fine, as 1440p fps is still plenty high enough in most games with that graphics card).

For my new pc. My older one was core i5 4 generation!

This is an excellent price to performance CPU and outperforms the 5800x3D. For the price the performance is exceptional and impressive and highly recommend this over any current gen CPU

Its very hot in benchmarks. I recommend limiting TDP in the bios settings to 140-150.

The i5 -13600K provides the best performance in its price range.

Purchase for my sons gaming pc he loves it.

Going from an old 4790K to this thing is like going from a biplane to the Concorde jet! This processor will crush any game out there. My main game is Flight simulator and the price to performance boost is outstanding. My old 1080SC is now the bottleneck in my system but both of them together makes even flying a helicopter in downtown New York, on multi-player, on high-end settings smooth as butter and the processor just sits at 55-60c! Amazing! The final piece of my new build was 32gb of corsair vengeance and I couldnt be happier unless I won the lotto.

Great cpu big upgrade from previous one

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.
