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: 4K
Last, we have our 4K gaming results.
Civilization VI
World of Tanks
Borderlands 3
Grand Theft Auto V
Red Dead Redemption 2
F1 2022
Hitman 3
Total War: Warhammer 3
We noticed some discrepancies in our Cyberpunk 2077 testing at 1440p and 4K; we will publish these results once we identify the issue.
As we've seen throughout our game testing, things are quite competitive between the top contenders, including the Intel Core i9-13900K, the Core i9-12900K/KS, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X chips. In our 4K testing, however, where the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and loads of 3D V-Cache can't be utilized, then the Core i9-13900K and Core i5-13600K perform very well.

Wow, what is going on with Civ 5 and Intel 12/13 series CPUs? They get absolutely wrecked. Replyshoestring - Tuesday, October 25, 2022 - link
"...eeking out every last bit of performance" +1 for word choice, -1 for the spelling: it's actually "eking", which looks weird to me too! https://www.dictionary.com/browse/eke ReplyRyan Smith - Tuesday, October 25, 2022 - link
You are correct. The article has been fixed.I humbly accept my deduction in points. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Reply

I am surprised Gavin did not include the cooler and perhaps beefier power supply in the price comparison: clearly, if you get an Intel system, you need a *much* bigger cooler, especially if you care about noise. And you might need a bigger power supply, especially if you plan on getting an nVidia 4000-series card. Replynader_21007 - Wednesday, November 2, 2022 - link
THX for the review.It should be mentioned that INTEL's 13900K is nowhere near the MSRP of $589, I expect the writer to check the real prices, it's price is $795, about $100 more than AMD's ryzen 7950X.
AMD CPU's are cheaper. it's FACT. Reply

I wonder if the 5.8 GHz turbo is going to last more than 1 nanosecond at a time. ReplyVVTF - Tuesday, October 17, 2023 - link
The sad thing is, I find this Alder Lake-N review for Nuc Boxes on Anadtech much more interesting:https://www.anandtech.com/show/21085/asrock-indust... Reply
