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

Upgraded from the infamous 11th gen, and the improvement is not even close. FPS improvements and cleared up a lot of stuttering. I had no idea how much my RTX 3080 was being held back by the CPU. The $300 price tag just a week after launch is icing on the cake!

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.

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?

Great cpu for gaming and programming

Get a good Z790 chipset motherboard, and overclock this thing to ~5.7 and youll have the performance of a chip thats 2-3x the price for most users.

Buy a lot of amd never problems 3 times intel, 2 bad what a crap brand

Purchase for my sons gaming pc he loves it.

Paired this chip with an RTX 3070 and a Z690 motherboard- no regrets!

Best value you can get right now, and its really no compromise of performance compared to an i7 considering the price

I am using this in my first PC build and it was pretty easy to install and seems like a really good value for the price-point.
