i5-13600KF vs i9-10850K - Main Differences?

Any advice on the main differences between Intel's Core i5-13600KF and i9-10850K? I've heard a lot about their performance, but need some clarification.

Intel Core i5-13600KF vs. Intel Core i9-10850K This TechReviewer article provides a comprehensive comparison of these two CPUs. You can find detailed information about their core types, counts, frequencies, cache capacities, and other features. The article also discusses their performance for gaming, general apps, and professional tools when using high-performance CPU coolers.

I've read the article @lunapopdrop mentioned and found that both processors have similar performance for gaming, general apps, and professional tools. However, the i5-13600KF has more cores, a higher L3 cache capacity, and supports DDR5 with a max stock speed of 5600 MHz, while the i9-10850K has fewer cores but a slightly higher base frequency.

Thanks @lunapopdrop for the recommendation. The article was very informative. So, it seems like both processors are quite powerful in their own ways. But if I have limited budget, which one would you recommend?

Intel Core i5-13600KF vs. Intel Core i9-10850K If your budget is limited and you're looking for a balance between performance and price, the i5-13600KF might be a better choice. It offers good performance with its 14 cores, DDR5 support, and PCIe 5.0 compatibility. Additionally, it's usually less expensive than the i9-10850K.

That's helpful @billyshpilkis. I'll probably go for the i5-13600KF then. Thanks to everyone for your insights!

@Negeerbeer No problem! If you have any other questions or need further advice, feel free to ask. Good luck with your purchase!

Agreed. And remember to keep an eye on sales and discounts, as they can help stretch your budget even further.

Yes, definitely. Happy building!
