The Intel Core i5-13600K is amazing even with B660 and DDR4! It is able to match an AMD AM5 system!

Intel Core i5-13600K review using DDR5? Nah, I’m going the DDR4 path because I was curious how my favorite CPU will perform even when I pair it with lesser components, like a B660 motherboard and DDR4 memory.

To my surprise the gaming performance is indistinguishable.
