Waiting for high power SFX and SFX-L psu's to launch this year before i go jumping into upgrades. SFX has been at a standstill for awhile with psu limitations unfortunately so until that gets fixed, 13900k and a 4090 will have to wait.

I just bought a 13500, just awaiting for my board and RAM to arrive so I can side grade my 5600X
They do exist lol

I paid £237.83 for my 13500. Which isn't too bad considering.

More interested in the 7900 non X, tempted to switch out the 13700KF. But they are overpriced in my eyes.
Do some benches with it. Im very interested in this cpuI just bought a 13500, just awaiting for my board and RAM to arrive so I can side grade my 5600X

Still awaiting for my Z790I board and RAM, should be here hopefully end of the week, if not early next week.

Isn't the 13500 an older Alder Lake design just with a 13th gen name printed on it?

Had a brief search, all I can really find to back that up is some rumours from wccftech (and two or three other sites reporting the same sort of rumours from last August). Got any other sources of info that might back it up? I'm not so much doubting you as I'd like to know more, as I'm interested in one of these processors.
It does look like the non-K parts have a smaller L2, 11.5MB -

But I can't see any indication that there might be older architectures in there. The K parts seem to have a higher max memory bandwidth too. Given that and the cache I'd probably go for a KF anyway actually...
(edit - it looks like it might be right, if you look at CPU-Z published results, the stepping for the 13500 is the same as for 12600k, C0, but the 13600K is a B0 stepping. Is there a difference beyond the amount of cache though? Feh. The 600KF is barely more expensive than the 500, so I guess I'll plan on shelling out the extra $50)

I'm going to be upgrading shortly to 13500 and DDR4 B760 board.
I currently have 10400 so going from 6 to 14 cores is a big jump.
I realise that DDR4 is EOL but honestly I won't be upgrading for another 4-5 years and DDR6 will probably be out by then.

That's 13400 and below iirc. Which will be why we're looking at the 13500 not the 13400.

The nonK under 13600K are just Alder Lake cores too. CPU-Z Validation has the 12600k and 13400/13500/13600 at C0 stepping Alder Lake rev 2 but the 13600K is B0 stepping Raptor Lake rev 1.

20706 on R23 Multi Core , obviously PLs on Unlimited. My CPU cooler cant really tame 153 Watts all the time though. It gets about 16K on default PLs 65/153
how much power it pull on unlimited and which cooler you use and what sort of temps you see?
Associate
Almost the full 154W allowed by the CPU and only using a L9i LGA 17XX Chromax on my ITX build , pretty much almost max out at 100C on the fans on max.

Played a little more with the 13500 and I have dialed in a -125mV offset and put the PL1 to 88W for decent all-round performance for my level of cooler. Also this CPU idles at about 9 Watts Vs my previous 5600X of 30 Watts
In every processor range, there are "sweet spots".
I looked at lots of options, I came to the conclusion that 13500 and 13700 with DDR4 were the best value for money.
13900 is for getting towards the top of the league tables ... but it runs hotter and uses more power.

For whatever reason, the non-K i5 parts are using Alder Lake P cores, not Raptor lake, and have reduced cache as a result.
It may be that the 13500 is a great part, but that would put me off. The 13600KF is only a little more expensive, and that would make it worth it for me, even if not overclocking.
For me, the i5-13500 is the choice for productivity or mixed gaming/creating. I'd be more tempted by a 7600 non-X for only-gaming, then upgrade it with an X3D or 9600X in 3-4 years.
