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.

Intel Core i9-13900K "Raptor Lake": 125-228W TPD / listed for $726
Will be a head to head battle. But I bet the performance/W crown goes to AMD. :)
(Look i cant understand their logic either)
Remember that TDP is meant to be about thermals, not peak wattages.
There have been some very veeeery large discrepancies on some models, however
