New Build w/ 3080

The 13600K is about 15% faster on average in gaming workloads, though the exact amount will depend on how CPU bound the game is. If it's something like Civ VI, I'd expect closer to that 15% mark. If it's something like Doom Eternal, it would be pretty much identical, though since the 13600K does have E Cores it does pull ahead in multicore workloads by a large amount.

That really depends on you and your performance standards. A 13600K should do really well for a while, but we don't know the future, what games are going to do since CPUs have been moving so fast, and even how CPU bound the games you like are gonna be. I'd expect you should be able to get about 5 years out of it easily, but that's really just a guess and I could be dead wrong in either direction.
There are arguments to be made in either direction. Personally I'd be leaning towards the 13600K, mostly because in socket upgrades don't usually make that much sense (even on Ryzen, since once you start being due for an upgrade your board could be old enough that BIOS support for new CPUs that make sense to buy is a bit spotty, look at X370 with Ryzen 3000, for instance, where only half the boards got support for it in a reasonable time), though I can see arguments to be made either way.
