info added by
Intel F-SKU CPUs do not have integrated graphics, and as such will require a separate graphics card to be included in your system.
If a graphics card is not included, the PC will not produce an output to a display.
Say hello to Raptor-Lake Intel's incredible 13th generation processors are hear to break the boundaries of modern day processing power. Now with up to 14 cores (6 Performance-cores and 8 Efficient-cores) and up to 20 threads, plus Performance-cores are capable of reaching 5.1 GHz with Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost to elevate performance. Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.07 further strengthens lightly threaded performance by identifying the best-performing Performance-cores. Meanwhile, additional E-cores enable an increase in Intel® Smart Cache (L3) for more efficient processing of larger data sets and better performance. The P-core and E-core L2 cache has also increased compared to the previous generation of Intel® processors, minimizing the amount of time spent swapping data between cache and memory to speed up your workflow.1 Unleash the power of next-level performance with the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processor advantage.

sorted byThis K class CPU allows you to overclock the processor and the memory. Best suited to a Z690/Z790 Motherboard.
If your not interested in any overclocking, then the i5-13500/f is a very similar chip that also has a 6P/8E config. Having said that the 13500 is only about £30 cheaper so not alot in it.
I like to mess around with overclocking, so the 13600KF is a better choice for me, however I am currently running a used 12th Gen 12600KF (6P/4E) so no incentive to upgrade.
The only other thing to mention is the 13th gen chips use more power and run hotter than 12th gen, so it's likely you will need a decent cooler From the data I've seen the 13th gen is faster than 12th gen, but 12th gen is more efficient and can be picked up used for exceptional value.
If buying new, on the Intel side of things, the 13600KF is a high end gaming CPU and a mid range productivity CPU that will handle most tasks with little effort.
If your on a budget and wanting an Intel LGA1700 platform then look at a used 12100f)12400f CPU instead, as these can be had between £80-£130 and are surprisingly powerful budget options. (edited)

Unbeatable for the price, in fact unbeatable even if you spent double!
It performs a little better than the PA120 that is much loved, the PA is now the same price as this (The PA120 was £35 until recently) so may as well go with this. (edited)
Anyway it really struggled to keep the i5-13500 under 100c while running Prime95 and cine bench. And this is during the modest temps of May. Come summer it's throttle city.
I think the more powerful i5-13600KF wouldn't reach its MHz potential being cooked by that Thermalright heatsink, and forget about overclocking.
13th Gen is hot. It's basically an overclocked/overvolted power hungry 12th Gen chip with a bunch of e-cores thrown in for good measure.
I'm returning to the young streamers build in a week to check on the system. I likely will repaste and reseat the Thermalright cooler just to rule out an imperfect fitting.
Id say a good 280mm AIO or a massive Noctua Tower in a great air cooled case is what somebody would need to let the i5-13600KF fly...
I might be way off here, but I know that’s often the case with their mobo/cpu bundles which come with the cpu installed for you
Steve's data below from a 12-game average shows an i5-13600K matching a 5800X3D at 1080p, being behind 3FPS @ 1440p and 2FPS faster @ 4K.
Then if we look at the bigger picture including productivity, outside of a pure gaming PC, we see how ordinary the 5800X3D is. It's not a stretch to say Gamers could find this multicore performance useful once they begin recording and editing their gameplay for uploads.
The cheaper i5-13600K/F is an underrated chip. 5800X3D is a beautiful chip for AM4 1080p gamers, but I can't see anyone choosing it for a brand-new build. (edited)
