I initially aimed to create an additional system that was both portable and efficient, featuring an i5 12400 and an rx 6600. However, I discovered information about the 13400 and struggled to find comparisons between the 10700k and the 13400. From what I understand, the 13400 is close to the performance of a 13600k, which is significantly better than a 10700k. Instead of purchasing a new PC, I opted for a 13400 in my main build and used the 10700k for the portable version at the same cost. My concern is whether the E cores could affect the low-end performance, though it seems possible they might have been addressed.

The 13400 lags slightly behind the 12600K in speed. It remains a solid chip that will improve, particularly if the 10700K is available at its original price, though the 12600K tends to be faster for comparable costs and the 13400F doesn’t match the performance of the 13600K.

You should pick either the 13,500 or 13,600 model. The difference between 13,400 and 13,500 specs is quite big for just a $20 extra, and the 13,600 models are now under $300.

That's possible, I'll consider it.

I’m planning to go for the 13600k and it seems it could really harm my CPU. Using an i7 in a portable setup might work, but I should consider lowering the clock speed and reducing voltage. Appreciate the advice!

It's a strong option. From a price standpoint, it's either the 13600k or Ryzen 7600, mainly depending on personal taste. By default I'd pick the 7600 unless someone insists on Intel, which I'm comfortable suggesting. Their 13th generation model performs adequately, though power efficiency is lacking.
