Power Temperature and Frequency
We will now test the power and temperature on each CPU, as well as the frequency on the Intel Core i5-13600K. To run these tests we ran Cinebench R23 for 10 minutes and took readings according to HWiNFO64, the latest version.
Power
The Intel 13th Gen Desktop Processors come with a power increase. While the maximum boost TDP is 181W with the 13600K, in actuality its socket package power runs at 227.5W at full load. At 227W the 13600K consumes 89% more power than the 12600K, a huge increase of over 100W at full load when pegging all cores. The power level is also much greater than the Ryzen 5 7600X with it pulling 94% more power or 110W more. The power level of the 13600K is on par with the Ryzen 9 7950X, and that is just nuts. Its power draw exceeds that of the 7900X.
Temperature
With this power increase comes a temperature increase. The 13600K runs at 95c, which is as hot as the Ryzen 9 7950X. Compared to the 12600K this is a large 67% temperature increase, 38 degrees hotter, than 12600K. The 12600K ran at a col 57c, and this one is at 95c, and that’s just a huge difference that cannot be ignored.
CPU Frequency
The Max Turbo Frequency on the Core i5-13600K is 5.1GHz and the E-cores should be 3.9GHz. As we can see above, running Cinebench R23 all P-cores are maxing out and sustained 5.1GHz while running, and the E-cores are at 3.9GHz. Therefore the CPU does not throttle frequency at 95c, and it is maintaining the maximum boost clocks when all the cores are pegged.
