In this part of the video, the focus is on Intel’s 13th gen Raptor Lake desktop CPUs which are praised for their gaming performance and productivity. Key points include Intel’s improvements in core counts, cache size, clock speeds, memory compatibility up to DDR5 5600 with XMP, updated z790 chipset with more PCIe Gen 4 lanes and USB 20 gigabit per second ports, and backward compatibility with 600 series motherboards and DDR4 memory. This backward compatibility significantly reduces overall platform costs for upgraders. Intel is positioning itself as a value play this generation, challenging AMD’s performance.

In this segment of the video, benchmarking results for various CPUs are discussed. The AMD 13600k leads in CS:GO but lags slightly behind the 12900k in Total War, matching Ryzen 9 CPUs’ performance. Intel gains a big win in Far Cry 6, showing stability and big wins in Hitman 3. The 13900k tops the chart in Total War. AMD dominates in Tomb Raider at 1080p, with the 13900k taking the lead. At higher resolutions, GPU bottlenecks occur. Testing at 4K shows inconclusive results due to this bottlenecking issue. In games like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands and Forza Horizon 5, there are close frame rate races, with Cyberpunk having varying performance metrics across different CPUs.
00:06:00
In this segment of the video, the comparison between different CPUs is discussed. The 13900k outperforms the 7950x, while the 13600k falls in the same category as the 12900k. The Ryzen 7 5800x3d’s performance drops in gaming benchmarks. In productivity benchmarks, the 13900k leads in multi-threaded performance and the 13600k shows strong efficiency despite fewer performance cores. Intel wins in handbraking code, while the AMD 7950x excels in heavily parallelized workloads.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the performance of Intel’s 13600k and 13900k CPUs is compared against AMD’s offerings in various workloads. The 13600k offers more performance than the 7600x and even outperforms the more expensive 7700x. The 13900k undercuts the 7950x by $110 and demonstrates superior performance at a lower price point. Tests with different RAM speeds showed minimal impact on performance for ddr4 and minor drops with slower ddr5. The 13900k faces thermal challenges, running hot and requiring a robust cooling solution like the Noctua nhd15.
00:12:00
In this segment of the video, it is highlighted that the NH-D15 cooler effectively manages the CPU, keeping it 10 degrees below throttling temperature and maintaining maximum clocks. The new Intel 13900k CPU is noted to be more power-hungry and hotter compared to the previous generation. Despite Intel’s efficiency improvements, the performance in applications like Handbrake falls short of the bold claims. Intel has made significant improvements to their CPUs without increasing power consumption like AMD, offering better performance at a competitive price, even outperforming the 7950X. The speaker addresses potential concerns for those with older CPUs, mentioning that performance differences may not be significant in most games and that yearly performance improvements from new competition are promising. The segment ends with a sponsorship mention for Zoho One, a business management platform.
