In FireStrike, FireStrike Ultra, FireStrike Extreme, Time Spy, and Time Spy Extreme, both processors produce nearly identical numbers. Regardless, Extreme Gamer put both CPUs through the entire 3DMark suite, and the results are interesting, to say the least. It’s important to mention that the i9-13900K is running at 5.5GHz here, while the 12900KF is only running at 4.9GHz, which is a pretty sizeable increase. Moving on to performance, let’s take a look at synthetic benchmarks first.
Moreover, the tester used a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card across both CPUs.
For the test bench, he’s using an SUS Maximus Z690 motherboard, equipped with 32GB of DDR5-6400 memory from Team Force, a 360mm AIO liquid-cooler, and a 1500W power supply from Cooler Master. Just like last time, this leaked benchmark comes from “ Extreme Gamer” over on Bilibili, who has put the 13900K up against its current-gen counterpart, the Core i9-12900K(F). Today, the same leaker has posted a follow-up to that, discovered by HXL which sheds some more light on the overall package Raptor Lake has to offer. That benchmark didn’t include any games and only tested the processor’s synthetic performance along with its relative power consumption. Just a few days ago, we looked at a benchmark overview of Intel‘s next-gen flagship CPU, the Core i9-13900K.
