VERDICT

Recommended Core™ i5-13600K

Treat Core™ i5-13600K as a tie-breaker (73 vs 72); your workloads should override this line. Match your cooling and board budget to up to 5.1 GHz, 14 / 20, 24 MB L3 cache. The 23% edge in AI Capability is the usable takeaway. Totals say Core™ i5-13600K; obsessions say audit Value Index, Gaming Index for Ryzen™ 5 7600X. Match your week against about +26% in Efficiency Index, by 23% on AI Capability—that is the practical test. The final word is your most-used software, not this page.
