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
I do love mine. And looking at the benchmarks it trumps almost every amd cpu except the 7800x3d and the 7950x3d pretty crazy tbh
