Latest Ryzen 9 7950X CPU-Z Bench MultiThreaded Score Puts it 8% Behind i9-13900K, 33% Ahead of i9-12900K
A screenshot of an alleged AMD Ryzen 9 7950X "Zen 4" processor surfaced on the web, courtesy of OneRaichu, and this time there's no blur-out with the score field—15645 points. When compared to the alleged CPU-Z Bench scores of the Core i9-13900K "Raptor Lake" from last week, the Intel 8P+16E hybrid processor ends up 7.9% faster than this score, but still a very close second.
The Ryzen 9 7950X ends up a significant 23.47% faster than the leaked score of the Core i7-13700K (8P+8E), and the AMD flagship scores 33.5% faster than the previous-gen Intel flagship Core i9-12900K. While both the i7-13700K and i9-12900K are 8P+8E, the "Raptor Lake" gets ahead with higher IPC for the P-cores, slightly higher clocks, and more cache for the E-core clusters. The 7950X is also 32.12% faster than its predecessor, the Ryzen 9 5950X "Zen 3," and a whopping 58.39% faster than the Core i7-12700K (8P+4E).
One can begin to explain Intel's lead with its core-count of 24. The "Gracemont" E-cores are no slouch, and in our "Alder Lake" testing, were seen closely trailing the IPC of "Skylake" cores. The "Raptor Lake" as 16 of these, making the processor 24-core/32-thread. The 7950X is a 16-core/32-thread chip in comparison, made entirely up of what Intel would consider P-cores. The net-performance of Intel's 8P and 16E cores ends up slightly ahead of AMD's 16 P-cores.

Might have to build with Intel next time :D
Can't wait to see real tests, i will be truly shocked if AM5 gen 1 is a bust.
Here is the stock 13900K
Now it remains to be seen what AM5 can do with great cooling on stable release hardware, but remind me again how much good E cores do for a gaming experience?
In terms of retail market share aimed DIY (including system builders) the data actually suggests that AMD leads over Intel and has been for the last 2 years or so. Given the context that the products discussed and the consumers in question are in the retail DIY segment, AMD is actually in the stronger position and Intel is the so called "underdog."
The only thing that matter is how performance increase and how competitive involved parties are. I hate to see clickbait articles or videos saying and cheering that X is or will destroy Y.
I am very exited for next gen because from rumors, it look like both will be competitive. I just hope that Meteor lake will be there soon enough to compete with Zen4 X3D.
I don't know what AMD has planned in the future, but I would expect them to start doing something similar if these Intel CPUs give the same or better performance with lower power use.
