Description

The i5-13600K is the part that made the generation. Six performance cores and eight efficiency cores put it ahead of the previous flagship i9 in threaded work, while the 5.1 GHz single-core boost keeps it level with far dearer chips in games, which rarely scale past six fast cores.

Key specifications

  • 14 cores (6 P + 8 E), 20 threads
  • P-core 3.5 GHz base, up to 5.1 GHz; E-core 2.6 GHz base, up to 3.9 GHz
  • 24 MB Intel Smart Cache (L3), 20 MB L2
  • 125 W base power, 181 W maximum turbo power
  • DDR5-5600 or DDR4-3200, dual channel
  • Intel UHD Graphics 770 on board

Where it fits

The default recommendation for a mid-range gaming or all-round desktop build. Its 181 W turbo ceiling is a full 70 W below the i9, so a good 240 mm AIO or a single-tower air cooler is genuinely enough — which changes the cost of the whole build, not just the CPU line.

Trade notes

Retail boxed, no cooler. The highest-volume LGA1700 SKU in this catalogue; quote quantities early when a batch build is planned.
