Intel Core i5 13600K review
Probably Intel's most exciting gaming CPU with 6 performance cores and 8 Energy friendly ones
You should look into this Raptor Lake CPU, or at least this review if you're a gamer and seek a bit of value; it has six performance and eight energy-efficient cores. That means you will have lots of multi-threaded performance and superb gaming performance; this CPU genuinely impresses. Yes my guru friend, the year will close with a bang with new AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA products. Over the summer, nearly all specifications leaked the products you see launched today. Today is about the processor and motherboards.
Last month at Intel Innovation, Intel introduced the 13th generation of its Core processor family, led by the 13th generation Intel Core i9-13900K, their fastest-ever desktop CPU. There are six unlocked 13th-generation Intel Core desktop processors available, with clock speeds running up to 5.8 GHz over a maximum of 24 cores and 32 threads. Intel is releasing the Core i9-13900K, Core i7-13700K, and Core i5-13600K processors. There will also be KF variations of these processors, which lack an integrated GPU but are otherwise identical to their K counterparts. The Core i9-13900K will be Intel's flagship processor. This CPU features 24 cores and 32 threads, comprised of 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores. Intel claims that this CPU's Thermal Velocity boost clock can reach up to 5.8GHz. This processor's base TDP is 125W. The maximum tdp for the top-end products has been slightly increased to 253W and 181W for the 13600K part. Tagged with the same 125W rating, yet a lower P2 state is the Core i5 13600K.

Core i9-13900K | 8 | 16 | 32MB | 36MB | 3.0GHz | 5.8GHz | 2.2GHz | 4.3GHz | UHD 770 | 125W | 253W |
Core i7-13700K | 8 | 8 | 24MB | 30MB | 3.4GHz | 5.4GHz | 2.5GHz | 4.2GHz | UHD 770 | 125W | 253W |
Core i5-13600K | 6 | 8 | 20MB | 24MB | 3.5GHz | 5.1GHz | 2.6GHz | 3.9GHz | UHD 770 | 125W | 181W |
Raptor Lake processors feature 2MB L2 cache per P-core, while Alder Lake processors have 1.25MB per P-core. The CPUs now have 4MB of L2 cache per E-core cluster, up from 2MB previously. Additionally, the total amount of L3 cache is raised to a maximum of 36MB. Intel claims a 15% improvement in single-threaded performance and a 41% improvement in multi-threaded performance. These enhancements are primarily the result of higher frequency and thread count. The new Z790 high-end platform from Intel features a more significant number of PCIe Gen4 lanes and USB 3.0 Gen 2x2 20 Gbps ports. In this review we'll address the Core i5-13600K; it has six performance cores (12 threads) and eight Energy friendly cores (no hyper threads) offering you an excellent 24 threads to do your thing.
