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: Science
Our Science section covers all the tests that typically resemble more scientific-based workloads and instruction sets. For our 2023 CPU suite, we've also added SciMark 2.0 which measures numerical kernels and various computational routines found in numeric coding.
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.
Science
Outside of the 3DPM 2.1 AVX test (only Ryzen 7000 has AVX-512 enabled), the rest of the results are conclusive, the Core i9-13900K is very good as it dominates things in our SciMark 2.0 tests.
It is worth noting that in both 3DPM 2.1 (non-AVX) and in yCruncher, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X is the clear winner in that battle, but even the Core i5-13600K does well against the previous Intel 12th Generation chips.

7700x uses 80w less during gaming than 13700k.CT007 - 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.titaniumrock - 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.Wrs - 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.t.s - Saturday, October 22, 2022 - link
yep, you're right. I just curious about the consumption from the wall.catavalon21 - 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?
