Intel® Core™ i5-13600KF Desktop Processor 14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) 24M Cache, up to 5.1 GHz

Product Information

The more cores a CPU has, the more applications you can run simultaneously without noticing a performance impact. Its 8 Efficiency cores have a 2.60 GHz base frequency and support a 3.90 GHz max turbo boost frequency. Based on our evaluation of using AMD's Ryzen 5 7600 CPU for general apps, you can expect excellent app performance with a high-performance CPU cooler. This article compares AMD's Ryzen 5 7600 and Intel's Core i5-13600KF desktop CPUs. We evaluated AMD's Ryzen 5 7600 and Intel's Core i5-13600KF desktop CPUs to determine which would be better for various use cases. We shaped our testing methodology to focus on each CPU's attributes rather than relying solely on benchmarks. Free items provided in conjunction with any components are only provided with this PC if specifically stated in the description above.

To maximize performance with professional tools, you'll want to use a CPU with a high boost frequency and many CPU cores. Good heat dissipation is needed to maintain boost frequencies for extended periods. We took these factors into account while assessing the expected CPU performance for professional tools. Office and web applications are typically single-threaded, so running a single application won't take advantage of a many-core CPU. Faster PC memory can improve game and professional tool performance by reducing the time it takes to perform calculations and data operations.

Thermal Monitoring Technologies

The same can be said when we compare the i5-13600K to AMD’s latest Ryzen 7 7700X, where Intel’s chip significantly beats AMD. The one exception in our testing was 7-Zip, where AMD just edged out the i5.

Based around the epic gaming CPU, the new Intel 13th Generation Core i5 13600KF, the Tritium is a true multi-disciplined gaming PC. Gaming and Streaming, Content Creation, it does it all and it does it well! The Intel Core i5-13600KF's 6 Performance cores have a 3.50 GHz base frequency and support a 5.10 GHz max turbo boost frequency. Intel's Core i5-13600KF CPUs have 6 Performance cores (P-cores) and 8 Efficiency cores (E-cores) for a total of 14 cores. Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families.

Intel® Speed Shift Technology

With a choice of high airflow, digital RGB gaming cases and braided cables in a stunning selection of colours, the Tritium can be customised to suit your own personal aesthetic tastes. Specifications Case

Based on our evaluation of using Intel's Core i5-13600KF CPU for gaming, you can expect good game performance with a high-performance CPU cooler. Turning to UL’s newest benchmark, Procyon, we benched productivity software consisting of Microsoft Office (Microsoft 365 apps). We reached an overall score of 7,995. Breaking it down, on Word, it hit 8,451, Excel 9,036, PowerPoint 8,135, and a score of 5,745 for Outlook. Based on our evaluation of using Intel's Core i5-13600KF CPU for professional tools, you can expect good tool performance with a high-performance CPU cooler. If you're only planning to stream shows, use office apps, or browse the internet, you won't need a top-end CPU to get good performance. The most important CPU capability for general app usage is the single-core max boost frequency. In the unlikely event of a fault, the customer may be required to undertake basic fault finding with the aid of our system support teamBoost frequencies are only achieved under ideal circumstances. However, with adequate cooling, you may be able to maintain speeds near the max boost frequency. Depending on the game, the CPU will often handle tasks including scene management, gameplay logic, physics calculations, and asset loading. We took these factors into account when assessing the expected CPU performance for gaming. Compared to Intel’s ultra-powerful “laptop” processor, the Core i9-12900HX, the i5-13600K can hold its own in Corona but pulls ahead in Cinebench, Geekbench, and 7-Zip, and loses in CPU-Z. The i9-12900HX is a “mobile desktop” processor and is currently the most powerful you can get in any laptop. Professional tools are often well optimized to use many cores. CPU cores allow tools to parallelize processing tasks. Increasing the number of cores can divide the time required to process a task if the tool has good multi-threading support.
