This chip marks the beginning of the DDR5 generation. Yay or no!
On average across 41 games it was 4 percent. With the RAM already installed, it makes sense to use it again. Adding 25 percent to the platform cost doesn’t justify a 4 percent performance boost. Installing 6400mt is at least 180 minimum reuse; for argument’s sake, 3200mt. A 10 percent improvement is a smart choice that leads to a better GPU or a 13.7k model.
Ignore the irrelevant details about the i9 12900k. Focus on the actual benchmarks for the CPU you're talking about. If you're using DDR4, consider the R7 5800X3D—it performs better than the i5 13600K when paired with DDR4 and can help save money on motherboard costs.
the benchmark highlights the gap between 4 and 5, which remains consistent across all alderlake and raptor lake processors. This makes scaling MSI quite relevant. I’m not too surprised by the 5800x3d query—it seems focused on the 12700k. If you’re targeting that, the 13600k offers better value and faster DDR4 options. Since you already have DDR4 RAM, I suggest going with the 13600k and using your existing memory.
I wouldn't go for the 12700k. It's worth considering the 13600k as a slightly improved option at a lower cost. The 5800x3d also doesn't seem to offer significant advantages over the 13600k based on my research.
The images you provided don’t align with this point, they’re only slightly quicker overall
