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

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?

The best choice for everything with good value

Fantastic Chip!! Runs Cool!! And Super Fast!!

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

Solid speeds, good price . Stock was available and install was a breeze.

Went from i7 7700 to i5 12400f to i5 13600k. This processor is going to be in my machine for the next couple years. Probably gonna skip 14th Gen unless it’s mind blowingly better.

This processor is blazing fast! The only con I can think of is the temps with factory motherboard settings. Im sure the issue is the power settings from the motherboard

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!

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.

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