Just sharing my views on this processor.
I always thought about i5 as slow processors, but I was checking the benchmarks and its amazingly fast and in gaming some cases even defeated i9 13900k
Intel Core i5-13600K Review | PCMag
The single core performance is really strong almost (slightly less) around Ryzen 9 7950X.
And now the prices are reasonable. Intel has done a great job with raptor lake 13th gen
The i5 13600k I got for $250 and a used 3080 for $400 at the start of this year has been my favorite build to date. Unreal performance for the price.
400$ for an used 3080 is crazy good! nice catch!
A friend sold it to me when he upgraded to a 4090. Very cool.
bro I paid 1,5x of (total of) that for my 3080 alone!
