Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great value for performance. Great for productivity, as in my case. Recommend.

This is an excellent CPU with a nice added boost of specs over last gen. It's very snappy and makes for an excellent mid range gaming PC or a really strong office/work PC. Runs really efficiently thanks to all the E-cores and handles about anything I can throw at it. Working great as an office CPU for my dad that I expect will last him a very long time. My only complaint is this guy will run a little hot under a sustained high load when using the included cooler. I'd try to use a better cooler if you can as it will be very beneficial to prevent thermal throttling if you hit it with high load use cases.

I recently was looking to cut some power from my home server running unraid. It sucked back 80-100W just to idle with “low power” xeons from ~2010. I swapped it out with this CPU and a MSI B660m Mortar which now idles at ~30w with more threads, a higher clockspeed, and quicksync for transcoding. HUGE upgrade, very satisfied.

Such a great upper mid-tier CPU, especially when it was briefly marked down to $210. The extra efficiency cores make liife heaven for heavy work-from-homers with innumerable browsing tabs and docs open at the same time. Paired this with an RX 6700 (non XT) graphics card. My heavy content and video editing, with some gaming on the side, now runs absurdly and buttery smooth.

Excellent, efficient platform for everyday workloads!! I'd been eyeing this CPU for some time and when BestBuy had it on sale for $209 with free shipping it was a no-brainer!! This far exceeds the 10700K it replaced in both mulit-core and single-core benchmarks while running cooler and using less energy!

Bought it 9 months ago for my DIY PC project, along with ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI D4 motherboard, CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 RAM, and Samsung 980 PRO 1TB (Geek Squad Certified Refurbished) SSD. I preferred this one over 13600 because of the lower TDP, to use with my older water cooling system. Setup was easy, with no problems at all. There were no overheating or stability issues during the 9 months of moderate gaming/backend development tasks. Can recommend.

I've always used intel for my gaming PC's. Great value for even higher quality games. Low energy consumption, great performance. 10/10!!

Great CPU. Fast and relatively power efficient. Use it for home office and remote work. Bestbuy had the best price and it was delivered to my door the next day. Best Buy is outstanding!

Excellent processor, it performs as promised. And the price was great! Very happy with purchase.

Lightning quick and at $200 on sale a great little bump for my new NAS. It has the intel UHD 770 igpu so it’ll burn through transcoding like a breeze for all media content. Has the performance + efficient cpu breakdown and so it’ll fire up when I put it through image processing for like photoprism.

I decided to go with this CPU after reading a lot of recommendations for both the 13400 and the 13600. The 13500 seemed to be a great fit for gaming, especially ultra quality, high frame, 1080p. Has not disapointed.

As of buying this, and getting a discount of 50 when i did. I think it was a great product. No problems and very simple install

At the sale price of $210 this CPU is really hard to beat. Its a harder sell at full price, but on sale it's essentially a slightly lower clocked 13600k for $100 less. If you're building a value PC, definitely give this a look.

Love it. I'm an intel girl, so naturally, I went w Intel on this last build. Love it as always. It's fast, effortlessly running Linux and able to game. So win win.

I upgraded from the i3 13100f to this cpu and it was a big difference paired with the rx 7600 its a great beginner build.

Better than 12600K for productivity and some games. Look out for the 13600K when it's on sale! It's at a similar price but much better performance wise.

It works great, my son built a gaming computer and loves it. Easy to install.

absolutely excellent performance in all tasks, great for gaming and handles cpu intensive applications amazing. runs very cool

Runs almost neck and neck with a 12900 but half the power draw and half the price…it is a no brainer

Works very fast and efficient. Quality is also on point.
