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.
