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

    Before the 7800X3D came around, that was the gaming CPU to recommend. It matched the 7700X in gaming and destroyed it in productivity performance.

    It’s honestly still worth recommending if you want a more stable and balanced experience with your computer.

      I was not impressed by the 7800X3D when it released because of the price. I’m sure a lot of people paired a 7800X3D with a midrange GPU, when in reality they would have been better off getting a cheaper CPU and a better graphics card.
