In our test, the Intel Core i5-10600K proved to be an inexpensive and powerful mid-range processor that performs well in everyday use and has enough power to not slow down many graphics cards. In addition, the processor has an integrated GPU with the Intel HD Graphics UHD 630. However, a fan is not included in the scope of delivery, but must be purchased separately...

AMD has clearly decided this battle in its favour. Giant Intel has to play hard to catch up again. At the moment, the classes for the blue team have moved back one point and we have to compare 5s with 7s. The fact that AMD still has a Ryzen 9 5950X up its sleeve should only be mentioned here in passing out of courtesy.

That is unusual. It seems Intel has slept through the times a little. When it comes to CPUs, Tema Blue is clearly behind Team Red. This comparative test shows that without ifs and buts. The good thing: CPU prices are developing nicely - as long as AMD doesn't get greedy. The fastest desktop CPU in the consumer sector comes from AMD...

Apart from the lack of support for PCI-E 4.0, it is actually difficult to find anything negative about the CPUs. The main focus of this test was gaming performance, a discipline that both processors passed with flying colours. They are consistently more efficient than their predecessors, faster than AMD's Zen 2 and also outperform Coffee Lake with ease...
