I'm looking to build a new PC and I'm trying to decide between the i5-13600KF and the i3-13100. Can you provide some insight?

There's an article on TechReviewer Intel Core i5-13600KF vs. Intel Core i3-13100 that goes in-depth on these two processors. It provides a comprehensive comparison and might help you make your decision.

Sure thing! The main difference is that the i5-13600KF has more cores and threads, which should make it better for multitasking and content creation.

I've been using the i3-13100 for a while now, and it works fine for general use. However, when I tried to edit videos on it, the process was really slow and unresponsive. The i5-13600KF would have made that experience much better.

Thanks for the info, guys! I think I'll go with the i5-13600KF based on what you've said. But I'd like to hear more about gaming performance from anyone who has experience with either of these CPUs.

For gaming, both processors should perform well. However, the i5-13600KF's higher single-core frequency could give it an edge in some games that are more CPU-intensive.

I've been using the i5-13600KF for a few months now, and the performance boost over my previous i3-13100 is noticeable. Especially when playing games like Cyberpunk 2077, where you really need that extra juice.

That's what I was hoping to hear! Thanks again everyone for your input.
