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
Same here! It runs so smooth! And with undervolting the temp stays cool at under 85degrees in cinebench24
I paired it with an 4090 :D just thinking of upgrading my mobo from B series to Z so i can overclock it
