But for the price the processor has no equal
Large-scale Core i9-13900K tests have shown that the processor is really very productive, but in general not faster Ryzen 9 7950x, much hotter, but cheaper. Now the bird has come to get acquainted with the Core i5-13600K, which is much more accessible with its official price of $ 320.
Recall that the CPU received six large cores and eight small and operates at frequencies of 3.5–5.1 GHz.
By the aggregate of a large number of various tests, Core i5-13600K showed himself perfectly. It is almost equal to the Core i9-12900K and only a couple of percent faster Ryzen 7 7700x, which costs $ 400. That is, relative to its direct competitor, the new intel is faster, because the 300-dollar Ryzen 5 7600X is approximately 15% slower, which is tangible.
As already mentioned in the previous news, the choice of a modern productive processor is best done on the basis of specific tasks facing a specific user. However, if we continue to talk about comparing the Core i5-13600K with Ryzen 5 7600x, then even in rendering applications, where AMD processors are traditionally strong, CPU Intel is faster.
However, this is given to him, like the Core i9-13900K, at the cost of a huge energy consumption and heating for his class. In Blender, this CPU consumes almost 190 watts along with a faster Ryzen 9 7900x. The same Ryzen 5 7600x requires only 100 watts, that is, the difference is almost half with a 50 percent performance difference.
The average consumption in 45 applications is 104 watts against 60 watts for a competitor and 80 watts for Ryzen 7 7700x equal in performance.
In the same Blender, Intel’s new product heats up to 91 degrees, which is already close to the competitor. In games, heating is in the range of about 70 degrees.
As a result, we can say that the Core i5-13600K can clearly wear the title of a folk six-governing man, although adjusted that he actually has much more nuclei. He is faster than a direct competitor, acts at the level of a more expensive Ryzen 7 7700x, but at the same time consumes much more energy, especially with a large load.
