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
It’s the best Intel CPU since at least the i5-2500K. There’s some evidence to suggest that Intel’s margins are suffering from it, but it’s absolutely surreal that they doubled multicore performance at the $300 price point in two years.
I had a 2500k since release, I have just replaced half a year ago, but that beast would’ve pulled still if it wasn’t for memory speeds…
