Difference between K and non-K on Intel Core

So I’m planning on getting some Raptor Lake soon(ish). Mainly because W680.

Right now I’m not sure if the K is an upgrade to me. I don’t plan to overclock, but I do plan to reduce power limits. And 13600k is like +50€ over the 13600 in my market.

I’m specifically looking at 13600 and 13900 SKUs and limiting power to 80-150W. Performance/Watt while still sporting consumer CPU level of high clocks is the name of the game.

What are the limitations on non-K SKUs?

Locked system agent voltage. At least with DDR4 kits, this can prevent you from running DDR4-3600 or faster kits in gear 1.

I’m not sure how much does locked system agent voltage impact high speed DDR5 kits.
