Recently, there is news in the industry that Intel is about to increase the price of CPUs., for friends who want to build a new gaming computer, they may wonder whether they should build it soon or wait for the release of Intel’s 13th generation processor. After all, there are only about two or three months left before the possible release. Recently, China EP Extreme Gamer Hall tested the performance of i9-13900K QS on multiple games. It should be able to give you a good reference. I will summarize it below.
Actual measurements show that the gaming performance of the unreleased i9-13900K is on average 5% faster than that of the i9-12900KF
Although the i9-13900K QS is not yet an official version, its performance is very close. It is equipped with 8 P cores and 16 E cores, with a total of 24 cores and 32 threads. Featuring 36MB L3 cache and 32MB L2 cache for a total of 68MB, plus a base TDP of 125W (PL1) and an MTP of 250W.
The test platform used by China EP Extreme Player Hall:
- ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme
- T-Force Delta 32 GB (16 GB x 2) DDR5-6400 memory
- 360mm AIO radiator
- Coolermaster Silence II 1500W power supply,
- MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ti 24GB graphics card
Let’s first look at the 3DMark running scores. Because the i9-13900K has 8 more small cores, its pure CPU and physical scores are much higher than the i9-12900KF. The overall score is not that big of a difference. The i9-13900K is only about 1~5% faster:
No matter which resolution is used in “Far Cry 6”, the improvement is relatively small. This is mainly due to the fact that the DUNIA engine used by the game is very old, so the CPU encounters a bottleneck after reaching a certain level:
Although the average FPS performance of each resolution in “Red Dead Redemption 2” is similar, in the maximum and minimum FPS parts, the i9-13900K is much better:
In the game “Forza Horizon 5”, the difference between the two processors is basically not big, except that the 1440p resolution i9-13900K performs better:
In “Monster Hunter: Rise” in 1080p and 2K resolution, the average FPS of i9-13900K is 6%~7% higher than that of i9-12900KF, but the 4K resolution is not much different:
