📎 AI Summary:
The WindowsForum thread discusses a compatibility issue where Windows Mixed Reality does not recognize the Intel i5-13600k processor as supported, despite it being a high-performance CPU. The original poster questions this, noting that older chips like the i5-9600k are officially supported, and emphasizes that their CPU is significantly more powerful. Contributions suggest checking BIOS settings for Hyper-Threading or virtualization support, and later advice recommends verifying hardware requirements such as Hyper-V support, graphics card compatibility, and driver updates, with some noting that Microsoft’s compatibility list may not yet include the latest CPUs. Overall, the discussion highlights frustration over Microsoft's apparent lag in updating support for recent hardware.

Fact is, the official information from Microsoft suggests that an i5-9600k from 4 generations ago will pass with flying colors, that a Intel 13th gen i5-13600k won't is ridiculous. As for the chip itself, it's at least a 30 percent performance improvement over my previous i7-10700k which was ample. The chip has 6 performance cores with hyperthreading and 8 economy cores without hyperthreading (14 cores / 20 threads). I'm not going to get into a flame war over chip performance, fact is it's one of the fastest desktop processors on the market especially regarding gaming which is practically identical to the 13700k and 13900k. Apparently Microsoft hasn't updated their mixed reality portal to work with the latest chips on the market. Look closely at this pic, please note that the aforementioned i5-9600k has only 6 cores and 6 threads.

Again if you don't have it enabled it doesn't matter how super duper the chip is
