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

Pairs VERY well with the 3080. No stuttering, fast speeds!

What a beast This processor is.. it runs hot!

Last home assembled PC lasted us about 12 years. Hopefully this newest setup will last 10 years too. Yes I spent a little more to have the newest, but not the most powerful technology. I have left room for upgrades in the future if I ever need to.

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.

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

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!

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!

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

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

I think this CPU offers GREAT value for the money. I runs everything at full settings (with 3060 GPU) and stays cool with Noctua air cooling. Recommended!
