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+i5-13600...)

i7-7700k is around 9600 points (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.

Some of this is additional cores (4x overall). On a single thread, the 13th gen is only about 50% faster than 7th (2727 to 4190).
