Core i9-13900K Outperform Core i9-12900K By 5 Percent In Early Gaming Benchmarks
The alleged Intel Core i9-13900K Certified Sample (QS) processor has bent its muscles in a few PC games in video reviews. The flagship Raptor Lake chip is considered to be one of the best CPUs. The game selection provided a basic overview, but was still able to span the most popular genres and game styles today. With this tier of processors and the best graphics cards, gamers will probably want to play in the highest quality settings. In these situations, the new Raptor Lake QS chip is only about 3-6% faster than the previous Alder Lake. However, keep in mind that this is a certified sample and the peak power consumption appears to be relatively high.
The first real video review of the Intel Core i9-13900K QS processor appeared a few days ago. We focused on synthetic and app benchmarks for the Intel Core i9-12900KF (iGPU-less variant of the Core i9-12900K) on the same platform. It was an important moment in Leak’s lineage of slowly discovering Raptor Lake’s flagship chips over the course of several weeks. The key point is that the next-generation flagship provided an average performance improvement of 10% for single-threaded workloads and 35% for multithreaded workloads.

Twitter technical detective Harukaze 5791 (Opens in a new tab) Gets a whole batch of results from the video and provides a clearer, more condensed overview of performance comparisons across the game (rather than tabulating the game individually).
An important change from Extreme Player’s synthesis / app testing was to use the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti to get the most out of the processor. Other than that, it had the same specifications as the previous video.
Extreme Player not only provides a benchmark for game performance, but also graphs some interesting peak power consumption statistics. The Core i9-13900K chip could consume significantly more power than the previous Alder Lake. The game with the largest difference in peak power consumption between generations did not match the game that gained the most fps using the new CPU. For example, in the Horizon Zero Dawn game, the advances in the 13th generation Intel Core processor had little performance benefit. Still, peak power consumption at all three tested resolutions was at least 28% higher.
These are exciting results for PC gamers to ponder. Still, it’s essential to remember a few things. This is called a QS test processor and the results are questionable. The only 13th generation core processor currently offered by BIOS Asus (or MSI) is labeled “Boot only, not suitable for performance testing”.
