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

    Interesting. So I own a 13600k, but I don’t have the rest of my build yet. Black Friday is the plan for that.

    I know it’s possible to undervolt the CPU and I will more than likely do this. Is it possible to undervolt and overclock? And get better performance AND lower power draw?

    I will say I didn’t know that about Intel but being one who also does a lot of desktop/browser stuff as well as productivity and gaming that’s kind of nice to know.

    It’s why I ultimately went Intel again this time (Well that’s and that’s where I got the best deal lol. It was honestly okay with either Intel or AMD). They do seem the most well rounded though, with the only drawback being the power draw/temps as far as I knew, which I do consider to be a bit unfortunate.
