Intel Core i9-13900F vs. i5-13600 for Gaming?

I've been looking at getting a new CPU and I'm wondering whether the i9-13900F or the i5-13600 would be better for gaming. Can anyone share their thoughts?

Both CPUs are good options for gaming, but the i9-13900F has more cores and higher clock speeds, which could give it an edge in some games. Have you checked out this TechReviewer article Intel Core i9-13900F vs. Intel Core i5-13600? It compares the two CPUs in detail.

Thanks for the link! I'm surprised by how much faster the i9-13900F is compared to the i5-13600. What's your setup like, @Norfolkanchance? Are you happy with your choice?

Yeah, I'm quite satisfied with the i9-13900F. The extra cores and higher clock speeds definitely make a difference in some games, especially those that are more demanding.

I've been using the i5-13600 for a few months now and it works great for me. I haven't noticed any major bottlenecks in gaming. How about you @bankei21, have you decided which one to get?

Well, I'm still debating between the two. Both seem like good choices, but the i9-13900F's performance advantage is tempting.

It really depends on your budget and what type of games you play. If you're into high-end gaming and can afford the extra cost, the i9-13900F might be worth it. Otherwise, the i5-13600 should suffice for most gamers.

That's true, @MileHiMorrow. I guess it comes down to how much I'm willing to spend on a CPU. Thanks everyone for your input!

No problem, @bankei21. Just remember that you'll also need a compatible motherboard and other components for either CPU. Good luck with your decision!
