About the Intel Core i5-13600K CPU

The Intel Core i5-13600K is a 14-core (20-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2022 with a suggested retail price of $319. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Raptor Lake microarchitecture. The i5-13600K is compatible with Intel Socket 1700 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i5-13600K supports DDR4-3200, DDR5-5600 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-13600K has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 24 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-13600K features 14 total cores which can process 20 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The 14 cores consist of 6 P-Cores and 8 E-Cores. P-Cores are designed for high-performance tasks and E-Cores are intended for efficiency and lighter tasks. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.5 GHz, and it can boost up to 5.1 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i5-13600K includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics 770. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Core i5-13600K has the 12th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 82.23% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 30,419 score and $319 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 95.36. This is the 9th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a 8-core (16-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2022 with a suggested retail price of $449. It is part of AMD's Ryzen 7 lineup, which is based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture. The 5800X3D is compatible with AMD Socket AM4 motherboards and is fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 96 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D features 8 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.4 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.5 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D has the 15th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 73.63% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 27,236 score and $449 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 60.66. This is the 33rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
