Our lab has never seen a faster CPU! The Intel Core i9-13900K is extremely fast and outperforms its predecessor by 30 percent and more.

- Fastest gaming CPU
- high application performance
- cheaper than the AMD competition
- DDR4 and DDR5 RAM support
- 600 and 700 chipset support
- Low gaming efficiency
- Extremely fast, even with complex calculations
- High price, somewhat high power consumption under full load
Intel's top model Core i9-13900K worked 21 per cent faster on average than its predecessor in testing and consumed six per cent less energy. In terms of speed, the CPU is on par with AMD's top model, the Ryzen 9 7950X, but it consumes much less energy and therefore remains number one...

- Very high gaming performance
- Very high application performance
- good energy efficiency
- moderate temperatures under gaming load
- Becomes very hot under high application load
With Raptor Lake and the Core i9 13900K, Intel has once again increased the clock speed. This, coupled with fast DDR5 RAM, gives the CPU by far the highest gaming performance in testing, although the performance of the Core i9 13900K quickly fades into the background during gaming...
