Intel Core i9-13900K and i5-13600K Review: Raptor Lake Brings More Bite
by Gavin Bonshor on October 20, 2022 9:00 AM ESTCPU Benchmark Performance: Simulation
Simulation and Science have a lot of overlap in the benchmarking world. The benchmarks that fall under Science have a distinct use for the data they output – in our Simulation section, these act more like synthetics but at some level are still trying to simulate a given environment.
In the encrypt/decrypt scenario, how data is transferred and by what mechanism is pertinent to on-the-fly encryption of sensitive data - a process by which more modern devices are leaning to for software security.
We are using DDR5 memory on the Core i9-13900K, the Core i5-13600K, the Ryzen 9 7950X, and Ryzen 5 7600X, as well as Intel's 12th Gen (Alder Lake) processors at the following settings:
- DDR5-5600B CL46 - Intel 13th Gen
- DDR5-5200 CL44 - Ryzen 7000
- DDR5-4800 (B) CL40 - Intel 12th Gen
All other CPUs such as Ryzen 5000 and 3000 were tested at the relevant JEDEC settings as per the processor's individual memory support with DDR4.
Simulation
Outside of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D's dominance in our Factorio testing, the rest of the results paint an interesting picture; the Core i9-13900K excels in simulations. Whether that's the addition of eight more efficiency cores over the Core i9-12900K, or that it's also partly due to increased core clock speeds, if it works, it works. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X is also a solid contender, however, and it tears the competition a new one in our new John the Ripper MD5 test.

7700x uses 80w less during gaming than 13700k. ReplyCT007 - Sunday, October 23, 2022 - link
7700X is an awesome chip for pure gaming... I don't understand why it has been excluded in so many major benchmarks I've scene lately. Replytitaniumrock - Thursday, October 20, 2022 - link

For gaming: 13900k is more effecient than Ryzen per Igor’s lab’s test. Here’s what he has to say:“From a purely statistical point of view, it is a clear victory of the Core i9-13900K against the Ryzen 9 7950X in gaming, although life does not only consist of pure gaming. The Core i9-13900K often wins in the workstation and creation field, but not always. And even if it is even a tad more efficient at gaming than AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X counterpart…”

For idle: Given below is a comprehensive review for Alder Lake vs Zen3 done by Tech notice. He found Ryzen to use almost 4x during idle. He also tested some realistic day to day use cases where 12th gen was more efficient than Ryzen. I expect it to continue with 13th gen vs zen4.

Pity there's no from the wall numbers. ReplyWrs - Friday, October 21, 2022 - link
Socket power is a fair comparison - both sides have comparable socket PCIe lanes and chipset lanes. When using wall numbers for Intel vs. AMD you introduce motherboard and component variability. Even using the same CPU you'll find motherboards can vary by 10-20W at load due to VRM quality differences. Replyt.s - Saturday, October 22, 2022 - link
yep, you're right. I just curious about the consumption from the wall. Replycatavalon21 - Sunday, October 23, 2022 - link

Intel is really pushing those e-cores. Do they really help with keeping power draw to a minimum while doing low power tasks? Reply
