Mmmm, ahhh, yes! Very interesting numbers...

Also replacement low/mid end CPUs are supposed to be released this year so if you are on a tight budget then might as well wait a bit and see if those are more worth it.

As near as I can tell another big win for Intel is the idle power consumption. Which is useful for me as an HTPC CPU.

Some people have pointed out the cause may be that the I/O die being on a larger node and having to power the communication between dies is more costly for Ryzen, but it is hard to tell when looking in from the outside.
 
Eh, these aren't really price comparable chips. The 13100F is $99 on Amazon right now, while the 5600X is $152 and the 5600 is $140.

The 13400F is $185.

Before someone tells me about Newegg prices on Intel (higher than Amazon)- the 5600X is $189 there, which makes it uncompetitive vs 13400F at Newegg. Amazon though, it's decently priced at $152.

So basically the 5600X fits in an in-between slot in pricing. On either side of the 5600X/5600 +/- $40 sits a chip which is either notably slower (13100F), or notably faster (13400F).

I think this all comes down to budget questions.

Sweet! More price-performance stagnation!

Making the new stuff only marginally more desirable than previous-gen stuff so more people and companies decide to hang on to whatever they already have for a while longer is a great way to reduce e-waste production.

>The $150 Core i3-13100 is simply overpriced for a quad-core in 2023.

It's amazing how an article can be obsoleted in the space of two days. On 4/29, price on i3-13100 has dropped to $110 on Amazon,


i5-13400 has dropped to $200,


i5-13500 has stayed roughly the same (since March) at $248,


i5-13600K has also stuck with its initial launch price at $319 (probably because it's the most popular and thus in-demand),


i7-13700 has also dropped in recent days (4/17) to $350


i7-13700K dropped (4/29) to $400,


On the high end, i9-13900 has a small drop (4/27) from $$590 to $566,


while i9-13900K has stabilized at $567 (from high of $740'ish), or same price as 13900,



Checking in with Alder Lake pricing,

i3-12100 is $132, with low at $130, which means you can skip this in favor of 13100,


i5-12400 is $180; again, not worth it when 13400 is only $20 more,


i5-12600K is $234; worse bang/buck than i5-13500 at $14 more
