While the power draw of the 13600K looks sane compared to the 13900K, it's still a huge increase from the 12600K, which on the same chart only draws 128W. That's a 50% increase for probably just a 10-20% performance increase in most scenarios.

Yea that's true but it is a really good all around CPU if you don't want to break the bank but still get all around great performance. The 5800X3D is still the best bang per buck considering both 7000 series and Raptor Lake are expensive and aren't worth it imo outside of workstation performance. But if someone does want a budget upgrade that they want to keep for a long time, a cheap z690 that's on sale + 13600k would do wonders.

Just saw the 5800X3D on that power consumption chart compared to the latest and lmao, this makes for such an easy choice for me at this point. 



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
