I've just ordered an i5-13600KF build with 32 GB of DDR4 3600 memory and an ASUS Strix Z690 motherboard for my RTX 3080 as an upgrade from my current almost 10 year-old i7-4770K with 16 GB of DDR3 1600 memory. This is for 1440p gaming on a 27" G-SYNC display with games runing at maxed out settings with RT and DLSS, where available. As such, I'm a bit out of touch with what constitutes a CPU core these days because the i5-13600KF has 14 cores, right, split between 6 performance and 8 efficiency cores as I understand it with the former offering 2 threads per core and the latter a single thread per core for a total of 20 threads. So why is this considered a 6 core CPU in the review? What do the 8 efficiency cores do if they are not considered to be CPU cores? I looked at the i7-13700KF but for gaming at 1440p the i5-13600KF seemed to offer the best value for money by far, especially for the RTX 3080. I certainly will not be buying a 4090 or 4080, the latter of which costs £1,269 for the Founders Edition here in the UK with third-party models costing even more! For comparison, my RTX 3080 cost me 'just' (lol) £749 so the 4080 is almost double the price generation-on-generation which, in my opinion, is utterly absurd and not a pricing model I endorse or support personally.

Good video, i'm building a pc with the 13600k and pair it with the Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX you reviewed.

Sure it's not the fastest CPU, but building a midrange pc with components costs a lot less then it doesn't really matter about LGA socket cycle. I mean they all ready talking about M.2 PCie 5.0 SSD's with massive heat sinks, and only a few high end Z790 expensive boards that support them so even if they did go another cycle on the socket some of the features on the board will be out dated anyway with the next generation of M.2 PCie SSD's.

@@alvarobrufalgarcia86 I am probably going to get a 13600kf myself to replace my 9900kf, its an awesome cpu for the price without the insane power draw of the 13900k.

[@alvarobrufalgarcia86]

@@shadowprice8100 that is exactly what I thought, but i also though I could use a little extra power and cores for future proofing as this gen will be the last with the socket before I gotta get a motherboard. Thats why I strongly considered something better, just so it'll last a bit longer!

[@shadowprice8100]

@@alvarobrufalgarcia86 Well i thought that too when i got my 9900kf years ago and i have watched many 6 cores easily surpass it in productivity and gaming... and with amd and intel constantly trading blows who knows if ill be amd or intel next time i upgrade? So it best to go the best value this time and then go best value again in the future besides, a 4090 can do 4k 120hz gaming! Thats going to work for a really long time!

[@user-cf5uf7vf2g]

which B660 tame this dragon? 125w below 60c?

[@joshbrobud8358]

I went from 2500K to 9600KF. I'll probably wait for the 15th gen but.... I always get the i5.

[@randyronaldclamana1759]

Can you share your undervolt settings for 13600k?

[@AdaaDK]

I dont get those benchmarks, unless your 12600k/12900k was on DDR4, the 13600k shouldnt outphase them that hard, hell 12900k should in theori be faster in all your gametests, something´s off here.

[@GearSeekers]

No there isn't anything off mate. You might want to check out everyones results. All saying the same thing

[@jodiepalmer2404]

This is why the results are the way present is because the 13600K has some extra cache added (similar in specs to 12700K):- L1 = 24mb, L2 = 20 and L3 = 32mb 12600K :- L1 = 20MB, L2 = 9.5mb and L3 = 24mb (I think)

[@DaSesh]

that part.

[@LucidStrike]

Tbf re: platform longetivity, I like to start with the first gen CPUs and then end with a used chip from the final generation, so the same AM5 board will last me 10 years easily. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Only reason I'm not sticking with AM4 is that I wanna go ITX anyway.

[@JPEaglesandKatz]

Strange if you look at the specs of the phanteks it doesn't support the socket.

[@GearSeekers]

What's strange about it being an asetek cooler?

[@tEXKiKos]

I still have a Sand bridge system and looking to upgrade! its about time for me. What would you Advice? AMD or Intel. I'm changing everything but looking to build within an ITX case. Already got 750W SFX Corsair power supply, so I need to balance CPU selection to not overdue it.

[@ZahBroskee]

Depends on what you need out of the system but a 13600k or hold out to see what the 3d vcache cpu(s) from AMD are like as those should be solid gaming and general use options for years to come, and a little power tuning on both them and the gpu could keep you under 750 watts and make cooling easier in an itx build.

[@nivea878]

if you want stability and no issues go for intel, trust me, i returned my 7900x after 2 days

[@3_kids_one_shot726]

13600k or 13700k better match with a 3090ti or stick with the 10850k I currently have? Any thought anyone?

[@cuongtang9539]

the 13600k its about 25 % faster than your 10850k (In gaming) otherwise 13600k is much faster

[@RealLilCupcake]

What graphics card should I get with this cpu 🤔

[@Absolutely_Allen]

if the buget doesnt matter a 4080 and you will most likely be gpu limited even then

[@nivea878]

@Gear seekers, question from switzerland ☺️ do you recommend AMD or Intel for stability or less problems? i allways had intel, and never had a single problem, but wanna try AMD first time, appreciate your kind response

[@GearSeekers]

They are the same in terms of stability.

[@asryan7582]

Hello, I've ordered the 13700kf and its on its way but I'm having second thought. ' I have a TUF 4090 I ordered a Strix Gaming Z790-F My Aio is Is a Ryujin 360 with A12x25 fans, My PSU is a Seasonic Prime TX1000 Titanium Will it be fine regarding temps and watts you think, i've seen videos about the 13900kf the power consumption and how to reduce it. I'm quite freaking easily about temps and even if the 13700kf won't be as warm as the I9 (I hope so?), i'm still a bit worried about it..

[@vMaxHeadroom]

the 13700KF will be more than fine with temps well under control with a 360mm AIO and the 1000w PSU will handle both the 13700K and 4090. I have the 12700K overclocked to an all core 5.1GHz and no issues on temps with my 360mm AIO. On gaming the temps will never go above 70 degrees anyway and more likely in the 50 degrees area. The 13900K does run hot as it is pushed to the limit but the 13600K and 13700K will be more than fine with that AIO...Just enjoy the 13700K matched to an RTX 4090....And the 4090 is something I can only dream about!!!!!!!
