i5-13600K

The i5-13600K has higher Level 2 Cache. Data/instructions which have to be processed can be loaded from the fast L2 and the CPU does not have to wait for the very slow DDR RAM
The i5-13600K has higher Level 3 Cache. This is useful when you have substantial multiprocessing workloads, many computationally intense simultaneous processes. More likely on a server, less on a personally used computer for interactive desktop workloads.
The i5-13600K has more cores. The benefit of having more cores is that the system can handle more threads. Each core can handle a separate stream of data. This architecture greatly increases the performance of a system that is running concurrent applications.
The i5-13600K has more threads. Larger programs are divided into threads (small sections) so that the processor can execute them simultaneously to get faster execution.

i3-12300

The i3-12300 is more power efficient and generates less heat.
