Now the smart people will take the extra $100 or $200 saved by buying this CPU and using that money to get a better GPU which is more important to gaming.
If you want to laugh, look at the scores in head to head gaming with the 5600 vs the 5700 or 5800 and smile when the FPS is less than 5% different.
As far as DDR4 vs DDR5. That is another win for saving some money. For gaming, that DDR5 will get you maybe another 5% fps but cost you almost double what DDR4 costs.
So save $100 on your ram and $100 or $200 on this chip and take that $200 or $300 and get a better GPU. Sure that $200 or $300 will get you an extra 10 percent in FPS but does it really matter if you get "only" 60fps vs 66fps (10% boost) or 120fps vs 132fps?
Now if money is not an issue then get the best of the best of the best but smart gamers know what is important and what is not.

BTW the x version is identical to the non-x (5600 vs 5600x) but it's clocked a bit higher. Something you can do yourself in your MB settings.
I say this as someone with a 5600x, but the 5600 wasnt released until 2 years later.
The 13100 can be used with DDR5 and you can upgrade to higher end 13th gen or 14th gen CPUs on the same motherboard.

I currently have an AM4 board running a Ryzen 3, so this would be a good deal.

Now I have to mobo and ram shop.

I paired it with a 6700xt gpu. I stream on tiktok and game a lot. You might need a cpu cooler for this for more intense game but the games I've played (grand strategy, Overwatch and some others) run excellent.

If you have Microcenter nearby, get the bundle 7700x + 32GB ram + mobo for $400
