Intel Core i9-13900KS vs. Intel Core i5-12600K - Performance Comparison?

I've been looking at the new Intel processors and was wondering if anyone has some insights on the i9-13900KS versus the i5-12600K. Any thoughts?

The 13900KS has a higher core count, larger L3 cache, and supports overclocking, DDR5 with a max stock speed of 5600 MHz, and PCIe 5.0, which should provide better performance in various use cases like gaming, general apps, and professional tools. However, the i5-12600K is also a powerful processor.

I've read an article on TechReviewer that compares these two processors. The Intel Core i9-13900KS vs. Intel Core i5-12600K provides an in-depth analysis of their features and performance. You might find it helpful to check it out.

Thanks for sharing the link, @vanessasublime. From what you said, it seems like the 13900KS has some clear advantages. But does anyone have any personal experiences or thoughts on these processors?

I recently bought the i5-12600K and am quite happy with its performance so far. It works well for my day-to-day tasks and light gaming.

Great to know, @wanderingdove. The 12600K is a solid choice if you don't require the extra power of the 13900KS. It's all about finding the right balance between price and performance.

That's true, @vivalahudak. I'm still debating whether to go for the i9 or stick with the i5. Any other opinions on these processors?

I've been using the 13900KS for a few weeks now, and I must say it's a beast! The overclocking capabilities and the PCIe 5.0 support really make a difference in my workflow.

@vanessasublime, your experience with the 13900KS sounds impressive. But remember that the 12600K also delivers excellent performance for most users, as @vivalahudak mentioned earlier.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, guys. I'll have to think about it some more. The more I learn about these processors, the more confusing it gets!
