It appears that the first gaming benchmarks for Intel’s new high-end CPU, the Intel Core i9 13900K, have appeared online. And, from the looks of it, this new Core i9 CPU will be around 10% faster in CPU-bound games than its predecessor.
Below you can find all the gaming benchmarks that appeared in this early review article. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Chinese so I don’t really know which games have been tested. The only one we can be sure of is the first benchmark which is from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
It’s also worth noting that some benchmarks appear to be GPU-bound. Instead of using a low resolution (like 720p), the reviewer used a 2K resolution. Thus, and even when using a high-end GPU from NVIDIA, some games can be bottlenecked by the GPU at that res. To be honest, some 720p benchmarks would make more sense.
What’s really ironic here is that Intel hasn’t even announced these new CPUs. From what we know, the blue team will officially reveal these CPUs on September 27th at the Innovation event.
Stay tuned for more!

The games are CS:GO, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Ashes of the Singularity, Red Dead Redemption 2, Watch Dogs: Legion and Far Cry 6
Hopefully my 3rd gen PC lasts until 5mm comes out next year
Since i game only 4k, this CPU doesn’t impress me at all
is D4 standing for DDR4 memory and D5 for DDR5 memory ?
yes
13900K not interesting for those whom own 12900K, let’s wait and see the response from AMD
I own an 8700 and i’m still not interested lmao. And it looks like imma gonna wait for a couple of more years for something better.
Good idea. My i7-7700k is keeping up as well. Until I see a stock 5.3-5.7 with a boost around 7.0, with 16 core 32 thread being the base model, I am going to wait as well. Thinking 2-3 more cycles.
7700k hasn’t been keeping up for a while now unless you’re only playing non-CPU intensive games. I couldn’t even keep 4k 60 in Horizon Zero Dawn a year ago with it before switching to 5600x.

You have DLSS/FSR for that.
Indeed, but they did not use them
the numbers are a bit lower than i expected. i’ll wait and see the launch numbers. AMD has a chance of actually being faster in gaming without the 3D cache.
