Intel Core i9-13900K and i5-13600K Review: Raptor Lake Brings More Bite
by Gavin Bonshor on October 20, 2022 9:00 AM ESTGaming Performance: 1080p
Moving along, here's a look at a more balanced gaming scenario, running games at 1080p with maximum image quality.
Civilization VI
World of Tanks
Borderlands 3
Grand Theft Auto V
Red Dead Redemption 2
F1 2022
Hitman 3
Total War: Warhammer 3
Cyberpunk 2077
The 1920 x 1080p resolution is still popular with users (even I still game at 1080p), and looking at our results with our AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT graphics card, the 13th Gen Core series processors are highly competitive. In some cases, AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X3D with 96 MB of 3D V-Cache makes for a great value in gaming, even if it's not really on par with Ryzen 7000 or Intel's 13th Gen in compute performance.
There are certainly trade-offs depending on the title on whether the game favors AMD or Intel, but the key thing to take is, things are competitive, especially at 1080p gaming.

I don't know what is it but openbenchmarking.org gives geometric mean of all tests +20% for 7950X. In many tests 7950X kills 13900K by huge margin. Please see https://openbenchmarking.org/vs/Processor/AMD%20Ry... ReplyCT007 - Sunday, October 23, 2022 - link
So many apps that nobody uses. . . -_- ReplyCinzzano - Saturday, October 22, 2022 - link
Why would undercut all of the processors with such a piss poor RAM configuration... this is just ridiculous to pair 13th Gen Zen4 and even 12th Gen with such a slow memory and those timings...The whole review and testing are invalid. Reply

"Whereas Alder Lake officially topped out at DDR5-4800, Alder Lake can run at DDR5-5600, helping to feed the beast a bit more with higher memory clockspeeds."Guessing the second mention should be Raptor Lake. Reply

I really don't want any CPU over 65W Replynandnandnand - Sunday, October 23, 2022 - link
You can limit TDPs yourself. ReplyContrabondo - Friday, December 16, 2022 - link
To get performance lower than zen 3 5950x?FYI 5950x when properly tuned draws about 70-75W in Cinebench R23 at 3200MHz Reply

Nice review, however I have to say that this site has lost itself after the departure of Andrei and Ian.The deep dives on mobile processors for smartphones were very important as you were the only ones to do those and it is a real shame not to have Spec data and a detailed comparison of the A14, A15, Exynos 2100, Exynos 2200, Snapdragon 888, Snapdragon 8 gen 1, Snapdragon 8 plus gen 1, Dimensity 9000 and Dimensity 9000+.
I hope that you find and you are actively looking for a new editor for those pieces of content and that onceyou find one you push out deep dives on those SOCs even if they will not be the latest and greatest because it will complete the amazing database of reviews which stopped with 865 and those reviews where real gold!

good that intel is able to compete for now. but i go for the AM5 plattform.support until 2025 at least and the X 3D versions will blow intel out of the water.
i am not buying an already EOL plattform for a bit more performance. Reply

Why not stop buying CPUs every year? It's a waste of money. Reply
