What RAM is supported by Intel Core i5 13600KF

Launched in October of 2022, Intel Core i5 13600KF is compatible with Intel B660, Intel H610, Intel H670, Intel Z690, and Intel Z790 motherboards and supports both DDR4/DDR5 memory. The new DDR5 RAM is almost twice as much as DDR4 RAM with speeds ranging from 4800MT/s all the way up to 7200MT/s. So the question remains how much speed do you really need?

What RAM is supported by Intel Core i5 13600KF

In our opinion for the 13th Gen Intel Core i5 13600KF, the sweet spot is 5600MHz. As we go faster we see diminishing returns in terms of performance. For example, going from 3600MT/s DDR4 to 4800MT/s DDR5 we can see a performance uplift of 9-15 percent in gaming. Meanwhile, we can see a performance uplift of 2-4 percent when going from 4800MT/s to 5200MT/s and when we go from 5200MT/s to 6000MT/s we see a performance uplift of 4-5 percent.
