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

Absolute best bang for the buck... I wanted to go i9 or at least i7 but with this latest round of intel processors, the extra $100-$150 per upgrade just did not seem worth it. I am very happy with my i5. Paired with an RTX 3060 TI, I am running super smooth with ultra graphics on most games that I am playing.. Currently playing Hogwarts in 4k borderless ultra graphics and ray tracing and maintaining 60 fps on a 4k television... Love it. It is so much faster and smoother than my other PC running the latest AMD processor.

At the time of purchase this was by far the best value for performance cpu. It smashes everything I have tossed at it, keeps my 4080 at 100% in 4k games. I upgraded from an 8700k and this just blows it out of the water. I did NOT use a contact frame and running at 100%, oc off, highest package temps ive seen are 68 according to msi afterburner and armory crate.

Great CPU, but some LGA 1700 motherboards have compatibility issues with 13th gen chips so be sure of what you buy.

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

This chip is great for both gaming and content creation. The CPU and platform are both affordable. Best cheap since the legendary 2500K.

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.

AMAZING best quality price

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.

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

The best choice for everything with good value
