Intel® Core™ i5-13400F Desktop Processor 10 cores (6 P-cores + 4 E-cores) 20MB Cache, up to 4.6 GHz

The Intel Core i5-13600KF is an outstanding processor that delivers excellent performance for both gaming and productivity. With 14 cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) and a 24MB cache, it handles multitasking and demanding applications effortlessly. The boost clock of up to 5.1 GHz ensures smooth and fast performance, even under heavy loads.I’ve been really impressed with its efficiency and speed, whether gaming or running multiple applications. For the price, it offers incredible value and is a solid choice for anyone looking to build a high-performance desktop. Highly recommend!

Great cpu now the intel thing has been sorted with the micro code which is a bios motherboard update

Strong cpu

If you build new desktop pc is very tricky story for found the good compatibility motherboard. The market at the moment 2024 spring show so many different type of motherboard unfortunately not all motherboard recognise it 13th gen processor. The best if you research on factory company website. But I was bought first motherboard is not recognise 13th gen processor. Funny because the motherboard card case is show the picture on the front compatible 13.gen processor but not. In the game I5 processor is good enough but high temp so choose better cooling system. I suggest I7 processor. Better performance. Less temperature. Not to big different on price.

This CPU is very good i upgraded from an i9 9900k and this CPU is actually much faster I would recommend an 5600 ram though to pair with this because of it been a newer CPU I did notice a 5600 ram ran fine on with this CPU also the ram has to be ddr5 not ddr4 just so there's no issues go for the i5 version if upgrading from a older gen CPU because the i5 is actually fast saves money on electricity and also it saves money having to go spend alot on the i7 or i9 then if you choose the i5 version a 850 psu will be just fine I definitely would recommend this version though

used a few of these now ,no issues at all and very fast ,just be careful to make sure the motherboard setting as they should be ...

CPU is at stock clocks and never get warmer than around 60C even after playing CP2077 or Fallout 4 both maxed out @ 1440P for hours partnered with the excellent Noctua NH-D15 (one fan)Fast n Cool 10/10 recommended

great number of cores whether it is for gaming or computing. the base and overclocked speeds are phenomenal and in terms of value for money i would say it is reasonably well balanced. really recommend for budget to performance based however only downside to it is there is no bluetooth or wifi built in therefore will need external adapters or need a motherboard which has wifi and bluetooth
