Apr 30, 2024 · Based on our evaluation, the 13900K CPU's support for overclocking can be excellent for performance with the latest graphics-intense games. The 8 Performance cores have a 3.00 GHz base frequency and support a 5.40 GHz max turbo frequency. The 13900K has a 3.00 GHz P-core base frequency, which is the speed before boosting.

Oct 20, 2022 · The third-fastest chip in the Blender benchmark is the Ryzen 9 5950X, and that's down on the Core i9 13900K by 44.5 samples per minute. So it's close between the top two. The only major loss for ...

Before we dive into the blue bar graphs, here's a look at clock behavior in Cinebench R23. After an hour of load testing, the Core i9-13900K maintained an all-core frequency of 5.2 GHz for the P-cores and 4.1GHz for the E-cores. This frequency was sustained using the MSI CoreLiquid S360 360mm liquid cooler installed inside the MSI Prospect 700Rcase...
Starting with CinebenchR23 multi-core results, we see that the 13900K is able to match the 7950X which is an impressive achievement. I should note though that after just a single run the Intel CPU was faster, scoring around 4-5% higher than what's shown here, however thermal throttling does slightly reduce the score after 10 minutes, despite the us...
Now time for the gaming benchmarks and we'll start with Factorio, which is very cache sensitive, and really only looks at single core performance. Here the 13900K was 9% faster than the 12900K and 7900X, and only trailing the 5800X3D. Next we have Watch Dogs Legion and at 1080p we're looking at a massive 19% performance improvement for the 13900K u...
For the 12 game average the Core i9-13900K comes out on top, beating the 7950X by a 6% margin and the 7700X by just 4%. When paired with cheaper DDR4 memory the 13900K is able to match the 7950X. When compared to the 12900K, we're looking at a 14% performance improvement when pairing both with DDR5 memory. As you'd expect the margins are even slimm...
As good as the gaming performance looks, here's the bad news. Under an all-core workload, the 13900K pushed total system usage to 493 watts, and remember that's with the GPU doing nothing, this is primarily CPU load. That means, when factoring the entire system load, the 13900K consumed almost 40% more power than the 7950X, which isn't great given ...
Using MSI's CoreLiquid 360mm liquid cooler the 13900K peaked at TjMAX, or 100c. Obviously that's very hot and while only 5c hotter than Zen 4 CPUs, the results are far worse than what we saw with AMD's Ryzen 7000 series. The reason is that unlike a part such as the Ryzen 9 7950X, the 13900K thermal throttles after just a few seconds. We did try mul...
Here's a quick look at IPC performance in games, here we've fixed both the 12900K and 13900K at 5 GHz with the E-cores disabled. We're also using the same DDR5-6400 memory, on the same motherboard, using the same timings, with the same graphics card and CPU cooling. In short, the 13900K was just 4% faster on average, so if you were to overclock the...
For a look at cost per frame, we'll start with just the cost of the CPU. With 12th-gen and AM4 CPUs dropping in price the 13900K doesn't look great here, though it is considerably better than the 7950X, which isn't a good value gaming CPU. Ideally, if going with Zen 4 for gaming you'd purchase the 7700X, and when just comparing CPU prices, the 8-co...
To say we're disappointed with the Core i9-13900K would be an understatement. It all looked quite good until we glanced over at the power consumption and realized this chip is trying to use more power than your graphics card. The 12900Kwas already a bit ridiculous in our opinion, so we guess that makes the 13900K completely absurd. The fact that wi...
