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.

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
