I like to use Passmark as a very rough comparison for CPUs. Emphasis on rough, but probably grounded in reality. Whether the user can utilize such performance, or if they have a specific workload that isn't ideally multithreaded, is critical. i5-13600k is around 38000 points (https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-13600K&id=5008 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-13600...) i7-7700k is around 9600 points (https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-7700K+%40+4.20GHz&id=2874 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-7700K...) So the new i5 is nearly 4x faster than the old i7. New CPUs have come a long way over the last few years.
