Intel Core i5-13600K Ups the E-Core Count to 8, Tested in CPU-Z Bench
Intel's 13th Gen Core i5 "Raptor Lake" desktop processor lineup could see the top Core i5-13600K and i5-13600KF feature a 6P+8E core-configuration (that's six performance cores and eight efficiency cores). Each of the six P-cores has HyperThreading enabled, making this a 14-core/20-thread processor. Each of the six "Raptor Cove" P-cores has 2 MB of dedicated L2 cache. The eight "Gracemont" E-cores are spread across two E-core clusters with four cores, each. Each cluster shares 4 MB of L2 cache among the four E-cores (increased from 2 MB per cluster on "Alder Lake"). The P-cores and E-cores share 24 MB of L3 cache, increased from 20 MB on the i5-12600K.
A qualification sample (QS) of the Core i5-13600K made its way to social media, where it was put through a bunch of synthetic tests. In CPU-Z Bench, the i5-13600K QS scores 830 points in single-thread, compared to 648 points of the Ryzen 9 5950X "Zen 3," and trails it in the multi-threaded tests, with 10031.8 points, compared to 11906 points for the Ryzen. The QS comes with a Processor Base Power (PBP) value of 125 W, same as that of the i5-12600K. "Raptor Lake" is backwards compatible with Intel 600-series chipset motherboards, although it launches alongside the Intel 700-series chipset. It shares the LGA1700 socket with 12th Gen "Alder Lake," and is built on the same Intel 7 node (10 nm Enhanced SuperFin) as its predecessor.

103 Comments on Intel Core i5-13600K Ups the E-Core Count to 8, Tested in CPU-Z Bench
The amount of fanboyism when it comes to amd is absurd. Not even facts are enough to change your mind..
So now your argument is that amd did indeed give us less performance increase than a stagnated intel, but thats because of chip shortages. Okay, fine, at least you acknowledge it even though you still make excuses. Im content with that
But let me ask you a question. Back in 2017, when amd released an 8 core cpu for 300 euros, if i told you that 4 years down the line theyll release a 6 core for the same amount of money that is at most 35% faster in MT performance, would you have believed it? Wouldn't you have called that stagnation? Cause thats what amd did...
You can always call someone a fanboy when they dont agree with you when you give skewed arguments.
With these 2 numbers you conclude that intel stagnates but amd didnt, and you dont think its warranted to be call a fanboy?
Yes it is and you are a fanboy. I can do nothing about it sorry.
Its the same kind of nonsense Intel pulled with their 9th gen, naming the 9900k as an i9 to pretend there was no price hike. I blasted them for it so its only fair to blast amd as well for pulling the same shenanigans
I really don't care about naming.
Even if you keep insisting on comparing 1700x to a 5600x in terms of price, which in my eyes is not fair a comparison since these are different products, you have to also compare general performance. As it is so, even though 5600x has 2 cores less, the performance gap between those two is as big as the Grand Canyon itself.
That is one thing that I totally do not understand what you are trying to prove.
Meantime.
You guys have 3090's or 3080 TI's or 3090 TI's with astronomicaly high prices and it's fine for you to pay that price since the performance is higher than the 2000 series equivalent by a lot. I know it is GPUs but still. Justifying it as 2x faster than the price is 2x higher not to mention power consumption to the roof but same thing, faster so power is higher. With AMD you say it is a 1700x vs 5600x because the price for the 5600x is higher and it has less core so reduction over generation? That's just simply wrong and flawed thinking.
It's literally cherry picking situation which is best to prove your point and it doesn't make sense to me.
You can argue chip shortages all you want but that didn't seem to effect the MSRP price of Nvidia or AMD gpus.
check this and W1zzard's conclusion in the review and tests. So I guess your accusations debunked.
now I still would really like to see those numbers you were telling me you always show. Talking about the 5600x pricing being 50% higher than a previous gen 3600x? You still haven't shared any info on that though.
The 1600 2600 and 3600 all were at 200 msrp. The 5600x was at 300 msrp. 300 is 50% higher than 200.
Now of course you are going to go back and start arguing about names even though you admitted you dont care about the naming. Anyways, it's irrelevant, the 5600x is priced closer to the 3700x so thats what it should be compared to to figure out the gen 2 gen improvements.
3600x MSRP was $249 at launch 5600x was $299 so that means the 5600x is 20% more expensive if you compare MSRPs. Non X versions were released later for either generation of ryzen, so if you compare non x version's MSRP's perhaps you should compare those to non X equivalents. 5600 non x MSRP is $199. You calculation is correct but you using wrong numbers and cherry pick price between processors.
Again it is relevant and 5600x is compared to 3600x and in that comparison it is way faster for 20% more price which is justified since the 5600x is much faster than any given previous gen ryzen even 3800x in general performance is slower and every single review tells you that but you choose to be an ignorant and don't knowledge that arguing about core count. Between 2 processors like 3700x and 5600x which are simply different tier of products. So basically what I'm saying is comparisons are bullshit and cherry picked comparisons to prove your arrogant attitude towards AMD lineup of products.
And if you compare 3700x to 5600x maybe you should compare prices as well? You cherry picked price comparison with a same tier CPU and performance with a higher tier CPU and you argue this is a valid a valuable comparison? 5600x is in general faster than a 3700x and it is cheaper.
Bullshit about that embarrassing. 5600x is in general faster than a 3700x and every review will tell you that. Stop talking crap man it is starting to be annoying.
Come on man, it's time to face the music. Zen 3 was the biggest stagnation we've ever seen in the CPU market ever. That is just...a fact. AMD literally gives you 5% performance increase per year at the 200€ space and here you are applauding. GJ man
Edit; Just did a quick dirty run...
