How does this compare to 5600x for Gaming? null

Practically, there would be no difference. At the level these two chips operate, your gaming performance will be dictated and limited by your GPU. Theoretically, you could set up a game in such a way that the GPU bottleneck is minimized and run some benchmarks to discover that this chip will be faster, but you wouldn't notice that difference when you're actually playing. If you have a 5600X and want a gaming upgrade, don't get this - or any other CPU. Upgrade your GPU. If you have an older platform and are planning on an upgrade then this chip is faster across the board. It's also a less expensive part, however the overall platform costs, at the time of writing, are higher.

I will say that after watching tons of benchmarks on these two CPUs, the 12600K will: 1. Be around 10-15 fps faster in games at 1080p 2. use less power then the 5600x when gaming 3. Run cooler than the 5600x while gaming.

How does a 180 mph sports car compare to a 160 mph sports car? Both pretty much the same. Same goes for Ryzen 5600x vs Intel Alder Lake. Gaming is excellent on both chips.
