Yeah don't trust user bench. The 13600k is best for all round performance including workload in addition to games. But when benched, this, more than not, outperforms the 13600k in 4k gaming. Not by much, but does have a slight lead. 1080p the 13600k is slightly better. 1440p is a wash between these 2. I would just go for which is cheaper. Most games at 4K is bottlenecked by the gpus anyways.

at the expense of a higher base TDP and a massively higher boosted TDP, sure

13600K does not come with a cooler either (like the CPU for this deal as well), good chance you will end up having to spend any money "saved" on the 13600K on more cooling, and over time on the power bill as well given enough workload

So I plan on a new gaming PC build but not for at least 10-16 months, should I wait or get a CPU now to use with my 2070 Super? I have a Ryzen 5 3600 now, works great

Sounds like you're not struggling with your current build. If it was me not doing a build for roughly a year from now I wouldn't even be looking at PC parts to avoid temptation 😁. I'm sure you'll see better prices by that point in time, a lot of this stuff is newest gen and already going on decent sales.

By next Black Friday you'd probably save a nice amount by waiting. Put that extra money towards the GPU. You'll probably need it unless these companies finally budge on pricing!

Wait.

Zen 4 3D Cache CPU will be announced and available by then and will be much better CPUs for gaming.

people really, REALLY overestimate the need for the most expensive CPU for gaming.

Unless you're playing a very specific game or trying to get 720 FPS at 640x480, most of the recent releases such as this will last you 2-3 GPU upgrades.

All perform the same at 4k +/- 1-2%.

UserBenchmark has been known to be biased against AMD and always favor Intel. It's not a credible source.

I feel AMD could do better at reducing prices on their current Zen 4 lineup to be more attractive to new system builder consumers especially since Intel appears to have a favorable advantage from a price to performance standpoint.
