Intel Claims 11 Percent Gaming Performance Advantage of the Core i9-13900K Over AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X
Intel has been busy briefing its customers about its 13th gen Core processors and courtesy of a reader over at Videocardz, we now know a little bit more about Intel's positioning of its Core i9-13900K processor. In the slides, Intel is pitching its upcoming flagship CPU against AMD's current flagship, the Ryzen 9 7950X, which is hardly surprising, since it'll be its main competitor. Intel put the two CPUs through 12 game benchmarks using an unknown graphics card and on average, the Core i9-13900K leads by around 11 percent. As always, take the numbers with a sprinkle of salt, especially as we don't know the system configuration, or even what resolution was used, but we'd hazard a guess that it's 1080p or lower. Intel only allowed for one game win for AMD, with Intel being as much as 22 percent ahead in The Riftbreaker.
Intel also claims to lead in content creation, but this doesn't appear to be quite true, as AMD either comes out on top or ties with Intel in all of the Pugetbench tests. Intel is somewhat ahead in AutoCAD Catalyst and a healthy 16 percent ahead in Autodesk Revit, but as we know, the type of scene being rendered can have a huge impact in these types of tests, as we've seen from both camps. On the plus side, here it appears that content creators shouldn't have to worry too much about which CPU is in their system, as both should be performing exceptionally well. Intel is set to launch its 13th gen Core processors tomorrow, so it won't be long until we'll have some third party benchmarks comparing the two CPUs.

Still I'm a huge fan of new builds on AM5 - Zen4 X3D will be the gaming champ imo.
There's just one issue here. The Ryzen 7000 series has just barely made to to stores and especially its lower end half going to get... well.. you'll see.
I'm always dubious of company slides but I imagine the 13900K will have a slight gaming advantage. No surprise there.
if they show slides amd vs Intel dont forget add another line with your last gen results.
12900k vs 13900k vs 7950x vs 5950x
Their x3d chips will almost certainly take the "gaming" crown back!
AMD has split Zen 5 cores into standard, 3D V-Cache, and ‘ Zen 5c’ variants. The Zen 5 era will debut with a 4nm process, presumably from TSMC, and 3nm variants will also be on offer, though the timing of their arrival isn’t clear. AMD’s CPU roadmap slide ends in 2024, so these cores will debut in 2024.
Just marketing games. Intel waited with 13900K for 7950X, AMD is waiting with 7800X3D for 13900K, later Intel will do the same with 13900KS.
And then ... :)
For context, it took amd 2 years, a node shrink, a price increase and 50% more wattage to deliver a similar performance increase.(7950x to 5950x).
I can find the 13900k being compared to the 5800X3D and 5950X, but nothing from AM5. Perhaps someone else can pop in there and look around and see if I just somehow overlooked it.....or maybe Intel just hasn't posted it? Seems odd they say you can check specs for hardware on their chart, yet you can't find it.
I took one of the games on the graph (Far Cry 6) and looked under the 13th Gen Desktop Processors, but I couldn't find any 7950 (or any 7xxx series CPU from AMD listed).
Here are examples of what I can find:
As measured by Far Cry 6. (this is for 1080p)
- The 13th Generation Intel® Core™ i9-13900K processor delivers up to 6% more average frames per second (FPS) while playing Far Cry 6, compared to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor.

As measured by Far Cry 6. (this is for 1080p)- The 13th Generation Intel® Core™ i9-13900K processor delivers up to 31% more average frames per second (FPS) while playing Far Cry 6, compared to the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X processor.

Clearly the gains of the 13900k vs the 5950X or the 5800X3D are not listed in the graphs so I'm not sure where they are getting the info if it's not publicly listed on the link they provided.
