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: iGPU
Despite updating the main bulk of our CPU test suite for 2023 and beyond, we've not had a chance to test every integrated graphics chip in our stack of CPUs. As a result of this, we've included limited results for our iGPU-based gaming tests, although it is more than enough to get to grips with improvements in Raptor Lake performance.
As a reminder, We are using DDR5 memory on the Core i9-13900K, the Core i5-13600K as well as Intel's 12th Gen (Alder Lake) processors at the following settings:
- DDR5-5600B CL46 - Intel 13th Gen
- DDR5-4800 (B) CL40 - Intel 12th Gen
All other CPUs such as Ryzen 5000 and 3000 APUs were tested at the relevant JEDEC settings as per the processor's individual memory support with DDR4.
Final Fantasy 14
World of Tanks
Borderlands 3
Far Cry 5
Grand Theft Auto V
Strange Brigade (DirectX 12)
For both 13th and 12th Gen Core series processors, Intel is using the Xe-LP based 770 HD graphics processor. This means the overall integrated graphics performance between the two is almost identical.
In our integrated (iGPU) graphics testing, the power of Intel's Raptor Cove cores combined with more E-cores does show a distinct, but negligable advantage when using Intel's 770 HD graphics. This advantage is clear in Final Fantasy 14 where more cores and more CPU power are advantageous for performance.
Looking at the iGPU performance of both the Core i9-13900K and Core i5-13600K in our other tests, the Core i9 performs best out of Intel's chips, but in games where graphical power is required, the AMD 5000 series APUs do come out best. The Core i5-13600K also performs marginally worse than the Intel Core i9 12th Gen series, but this is to be expected.

PCs are idle (or used for light browsing, reading bews, watching youtube or a movie, etc.) most of the time. Intel idles at around 12W due to E cores while AMD idles at around 45W which will make the energy consumption 4x. Replyt.s - Thursday, October 20, 2022 - link
idle around 45w? sources? My 5600G idle at 11W. others, around 7 s/d 17W. Replytitaniumrock - Thursday, October 20, 2022 - link
here is the source link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNmpVvTUkJE&li... Replyt.s - Friday, October 21, 2022 - link
And where it states the AMD vs Intel watt vs watt? ReplyWrs - Friday, October 21, 2022 - link
A 5600g is a monolithic chip, just like the Intels. A 7600x or 7950x is a multi-chip module, though, with 2 or 3 modules, and the IOD idle is very substantial now with all the PCIe5 lanes. Bottom line Zen 4 is more efficient when doing major work, courtesy of being one process generation ahead, but Raptor Lake and Alder Lake idle lower. If you want low idle with Zen4, wait for the SoC variants like your 5600g. Replytygrus - Saturday, October 22, 2022 - link
They don't run constantly with at maximum power consumption in all workloads. They use less while gaming or more integer & less FP/AVX. Highest usage probably when they have a performance lead over the other. AMD can run at lower power limits & loose a few % in many cases. Replyneblogai - Thursday, October 20, 2022 - link
I was hoping for Ryzen 7000X iGPU benchmarks too. There are no proper comparisons of them vs Intel's 32EU iGPUs on the internet. Replynandnandnand - Thursday, October 20, 2022 - link

It's similar to the UHD 770 in Alder Lake, sometimes a little better or worse. About half the performance of a 5700G which is impressive for 2 CUs.
UHD 770 in Raptor Lake gets +100 MHz across the board, so that could make a slight difference. Reply

Thanks. I liked the ones on Techpowerup, as they include tests at 720p low, and tested more than a few titles. Part of my interest is the need to compare to Tomshardware 7950 iGPU results, which looked suspiciously low for the specs, and probably faulty: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ryzen-7000-integ...

About power consumption.I think it is completely useless to measure it when running a useless benchmark that you then don't even use to compare the relative performances to other CPUs.
It would be much worth having a measurement for some more useful (common?) benches, just to understand when a real work is applied how much the CPU is consuming and, related to the performances, understand how efficient it is.
Just think what the results would be if the CPU would be artificially limited (by BIOS/driver) in Prime95 bench: you would measure a much lower consumption that extrapolated for other tests, and you could just think the CPU is consuming a fraction of what is does. It's the same for the torture benches of GPUs. The max consumption in that test is useless to understand how much they really consume while gaming, and in fact, most of them are artificially limited or just hit the max TDP (which is again not a measure of power consumption).
If you don't want to provide the power consumption for most benches, at least use a bench that gives a comparable performance, so that (at least for that test) one can make a comparison of the efficiency. Reply
