This is a pretty good deal at this current time.

Depending on your application, you may also want to consider the slower, but higher value i3-12100F for $98. It's only roughly 10% slower in average computing and gaming tasks. It's perfect for a budget gaming computer.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/14499209...media=COPY

If you are running CAD, editing video, or doing some multicore intensive loads, then the i5-13400 is about 40% faster for that.
This, the 13600 and the 12600k are all very similar CPUs, all built on the same alder lake architecture.

The 13600k is the newer architecture, and has many benefits, including nearly double the L2 cache, that make it a big step up from any of those other chips.

Is there a big performance difrence between this vs 13600?

Yes, there's a different core count on top of the wattage use (125W vs 65W for this).

This will explain it better.

Really should stop using that site for general reference. It's only good for individual reference.

For example: You swap out your cpu for a new one, but change nothing else. You can use the site to compare your two individual scores.

For helping others it's rubbish, not to mention it has crazy bias.

This is tempting. No fancy cooler needed and I can probably use the 550W psu I have stashed in the closet somewhere.

Not really sure why it doesn't help if it gives you all the pertinent information for comparing multiple CPUs:
Core count, thread count, stock GHz, release date, where it aligns on release tree, market share (I could see this being biased, but helpful), TDP, nm size.

Most of that is factual information that can help you decide how different CPUs are. If the user were asking if it were much different from a 12600k then the story would be different.

It's b/c all of the information they use is submitted by ppl with wide ranging systems. So you could have the same cpu, but a huge range in mobo, ram, storage, gpu, which will all effect results. It's like doing a science experiment with no control of the variables, you get almost random results.
As for the bias...that's well known. All one has to do is read the language they use when referring to AMD. It's so bad it's comical.

Can be either Raptor or Alder lake, but it doesn't matter much:

The 13600k is quite the huge upgrade over the 12600k. Not quite so similar as you say

Lol it's plenty fast. You can pair this with a 3090 no problem

I feel like the section showing user benchmarks is so tiny. I usually just say wow, someone got it that, impressive. Then go to the stock info.

Maybe I'm plugged in more than the average reader, but I feel like I know the strengths and weaknesses of each company. I do like the market share graph too. As bias as you think it is, the sample size is significant enough to support decent data.

I disagree with your original opinion though. I do think it's good site for comparing CPUs. Get plenty of information you need to be informed. Also, if average benchmarks were consistently bad on the site, wouldn't you be concerned about the the batch of processer?
