While the 13900K beats AMD’s top 7950X Ryzen 7000 CPU in the majority of my gaming tests at 1080p, AMD’s impressive 5800X3D still looms large over both the Zen 4 and Intel’s 13th Gen chips ...

Still, the Core i9-13900K just edged out the Ryzen 9 7950X, but didn't offer anything more than the Core i9-12900K.

Comparing 12th-gen chips to 13th-gen ones, Intel says the i9-13900K should be around 15 percent faster than the i9-12900K in single-threaded tasks and 40 percent faster at multi-threaded workloads.
