What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a big step up from its predecessor, with excellent gaming and single-threaded performance on a platform with a long future. The main reservation is the high cost of moving to AM5 with DDR5 memory; Club386 found Intel's Core i5-13600K much faster in applications and slightly faster in games for similar money, and noted that no cooler is included.
