Are there benchmarks with a "dirty" / bloated system?
I originally wanted a 7700x because I wanted more multitasking headroom (games plus a few dozen chrome tabs etc), but the pricing of the CPU and mobo was way above expectations. Rather than downgrading to 7600x, I figured an i5 would give that headroom for background tasks. The cheapo z690 boards seem to make that a no brainer option. Benchmarks only show nice clean systems, rather than a realistic environment?

I would love to upgrade, but this is a dead platform. No upgrade path

Buildzoid seems impressed with the 13600K

Ooof the prices upset me.
US Microcentre: $589
UK OCUK: £730
Im tempted to pick one up when i go to the US next year.
I'm confused isn't that about the same price?
£730 - 20% tax = £584
$589 + 6% tax = $629.74
considering the value of the £ at the moment it's virtually identical.

I 100% understand that mindset, it's same for me but you have to think how long those CPU's will be good for, likely many years!
Funny how I can give that advice and yet I can't take it though

Indeed. The gap between 12th gen and 13th gen has left a sour taste in my mouth.
I’m on the fence about upgrading but knowing that LGA1700 won’t support the next gen kind of makes up my mind at least.
The price hikes on the 13th gen chips this week alone is a bit much too.

While true, there’s no reason why you’d have to upgrade when the 14th gen came out, you could use a 13th gen chip for the next 5 years if you wished.I would love to upgrade, but this is a dead platform. No upgrade path
Yeah it is if you convert it like that but i was talking about buying one while im over there.
Here's a good vid for all the Eco warriors concerned about the 13900k power draw. Also the gaming tests are with a 4090.

Looking around they benefit massively from a tune. Power is a fraction of what it is at stock and performance nearly identical.
Edit. See above video. As always stock volts/power is very aggressive.

They're blender experts now. Games are old news.
Yes gaming not so much for productivity work all them e cores added would have thought would be better in performance sucks too much power
Games / single core it's pretty impressive
really need to be tuned and not just run out of the box to get best out of it

Only if you rely just on their vids.Just watched the GN and Hardware Unboxed reviews. Judging by the power scaling, the 13900K is an astonishingly stupid cpu
Wasn't that the same as ryzen though with the curve optimizer?.
