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 think i5-13600K is the new i5-2500K. It is a beast in both gaming and productivity tasks, overclocks well and will probably last years.

    Mine is overclocked to 5.4Ghz/4.3Ghz (P/E) on air and I have also overclocked and tightened my RAM. Gaming performance is just sweet and I believe my little i5 can handle the next GPU upgrade too. I’m currently using RX 7900 XT and play at 1440p so I don’t need to upgrade soon though.
