In-game, Intel’s Core i9-13900K is only 5% faster than its predecessor

The spearhead test of the next range of processors signed Intel continues with the passage of fire on many games.

At the end of last week, the tester ExtremePlayer was the first to publish measurements taken with a Core i9-13900K. Remember that the processor is not yet available and that the test uses a pre-production model very close to the final version. This first series of tests focused on applications with measurements made on CPU-Z, GeekBench, AIDA64, CineBench in version R20 and R23, Blender, WinRAR and 3DMark. For this second part, eight games were used: Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption 2, far cry 6, Forza Horizon 6, Monster Hunter: Rise, PUBG, FFIX Endwalker and CSGO.

Consumption growing further

As we said in the previous news, it should be remembered that this is not a final version of the processor and, above all, that the BIOS of the motherboard can still be optimized.

As it stands, however, it is difficult to be very impressed by the performances noted. There are of course variations depending on the game and the image definition, but the gains are ultimately quite low with an average of more or less 5%.

Above all, we note that the Core i9-13900K seems to have to reduce fluctuations and offer a more stable animation speed over the entire duration of the tests. Conversely, it is important to note that these small gains are obtained at the cost of much higher consumption.

This generation Raptor Lake – the 13^e for Intel – seems to be presented at the end of September at the Intel Innovation event for an estimated October release.
