Intel Core i9-13900K

No you weren't, those are power limits not actual power consumption! Besides your math is wrong ~
(96/71)x100 or (111/81)x100 or (126/93)x100

Might wanna get a scientific calculator for the results.
Powerlimit IS the power consumption on Intel. You can actually see it, the computerbase review has power draw. With the stock 253w limit the 13900k draws...253w (surprise, I know). And it score 43% better in CBR23 compared to the 12900k @ 240w. So I was perfectly right, dunno wth y ou are talking about
 
So 95 isn't the new 65, 115 is?!.

Funny now I do get to say told you so, 95 isn't an issue as I said.
 
At this point I almost suspect that some reviewers are deliberately sabotaging their tests to get rage clicks. Look at the power scaling by HardwareUnboxed.

damn, this cpu is so good! only twice as much power for a slightly higher cinebench score!

wowza, and a whole 4% faster than a 7700x in games! sure is a bad year to be an "AMD fanboy"!
both generations are nothing special, but to see intel shills desperately damage control in here is hilarious
ask for an hourly raise for all the effort you're putting in

Yeah hwunboxed and techpowerup are shitting the bed with the power draws. Every other site I checked has completely different results, guru3d / computerbase / club386 / igorslab. Wtf is going on?

Something went clearly wrong in the HardwareUnboxed test.

How can it be that the 13900K at lower power levels is producing the same scores as the 12900K when most of the efficiency improvements will be in that operating region?

go intel go ..
 
Nicely head to head with the AMD 7950X. Didn't crush it like many predicted. :) Pricing is very competitive, though. AMD needs to cut prices.

Hats off for the gaming performance. Quite a little lead over the AMD's. Let's see if they can stand AMD's upcomming mighty X3D force.
But then it all comes down to pricing. I guess Intel's will be the top pick for budget gaming if AMD doesn't bring on a cheapo 7600X3D etc. variant.

Also would be interesting to see some 13900K vs. 7950X performance/W charts with locked power targets.

And temperatures, holy moly! Folks where making fun about AMD's temps. :laugh: Intel, hold my beer.

What, it's still not fixed? :wtf: lol, Intel.
 
8% faster than the 7700 for almost 100W more power and 15 degrees hotter? Where dem boys at that was saying 95 was gonna cause degrading….. what’s the deal here?
 
You can actually see it, the computerbase review has power draw.
Their max power draw listed is for P95 v29.8 which isn't what some of the other reviews are testing it with.

No you can't read reviews, that's what the issue is!

wut? guru3d is showing power consumption of 368w at a multithreaded load, and a ~38k CB23 score, that's pretty much in line with HUB's findings
 
Thank you for the review
I have 2 comments please:
1. In 720p game tests, are there any engine caps on fps and some CPUs would hit that before running out of calculations?

2. I would (in my opinion) use the new 4090 to remove any bottleneck from GPU side in all game resolution tests since it has tremendous power exposing CPU difference better.

Thank wizard
 
Fastest cpu overall, much faster in games and can be had for barely more than 7900x on a (potentially, if you so choose) much cheaper platform to boot! What's not to like, except of course, if you're a hardcore red team fanboy, then there will always be a pea under the mattress... :D
Cough….


I have to agree; with how much AM5 costs as a whole, it was absolutely stupid to try to retain cooler compatibility and sacrifice well over 10 degrees (as DerBauer's testing clearly shows) due to the ridiculously thick IHS. Just another typical AMD blunder I guess...

That pea is at least 20C cooler, what’s Intels blunder here beyond more cores, cache and power?

Their prediction unit and cache latency are the two benefits they have.

Sure I can't ready reviews. With the exception of techpowerup, every other review has the 13900k scoring 38 to 39k in CBR23 at 253w, YES? The 12900k on the other hand scores 27.5k @ 240w, yes? What percentage is that increase?

Can't you just admit you were wrong, jesus christ

I picked up a i9-13900k off QVC this morning, George Foreman was selling them!

This is a great round with both Intel and AMD pushing their archs to the absolute limit. Amazing performance from both camps which will make the CPU scenario all that better for us buyers. Hopefully a price war is incoming!

No, guru3d measures system power. That's why the 7950x is at 340w. TPUP is measuring CPU power only. See the problem?

Its hard to not use insulting words to someone so much clueless like you. I will just post the power consumption from computerbase and your 50% faster at similar wattage
1666276173383.png
 
I think winner is 12600K.
 
So, why did you continue to test using the ancient 3080 data set under games? you could have started with this, and just re-ram the 720p tests.

I'm referring to the results at reduced power limits. The i9-12900K at a power limit of 125W scores about 24000 points at 125W.

The 13900K apparently does the same (or less) according to HardwareUnboxed's power scaling graph.
Besides this, the score-power curve they show does not look correct; it is not supposed to grow roughly linearly with power.

Oh FFS these are TDP levels, do you think setting 253W or 241W TDP will get you the exact same power draw across a 1000 review sites :shadedshu:

Do you know this thing called entropy then physics & chemistry all at play here?
