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

This CPU for my gaming expectations on gaming at 1080p ultra and 2k settings were just what I expected.

Oh, Intel Core i5-13600K, thou art a marvel of technology,

Very good cpu. No problems. Could get warm with air cooler. Overkill cpu for my purposes.

Purchase for my sons gaming pc he loves it.

Upgraded from an i7 8700k and can say I am very happy with my upgrade. I got a noticeable jump in average fps, but the real improvement that can be felt while gaming was the increase in 1% low frame rates.

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

Im glad I waited for Raptor Lake because this chip is frequently outperforming the i7-12700k or is at least close enough to call it even. Upgrading from an i7-4770 to this chip has been insane. Highly recommend for gaming.

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?

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.

Paired the i5 13600k with MSI Z690-A Pro DDR4. Running P-Cores 5.4GHz and E-Cores 4.2GHz without any issues. Efficiency cores are powerful and theyre equivalent to i7 9700k from few years ago. Scores 25,592 in Cinebench 23 with all cores, and 16,507 with E Cores disabled. Simply put, amazing! Cant ask for more. This CPU has no competition, period!
