Recently, there is news in the industry that Intel is regarding to increase the price of CPU, For friends who want to set up a new gaming computer, they may wonder whether they should set up soon, or wait for the release of Intel’s 13th generation processors. After all, there are only two or three months left before the possible release time. Recently, the Chinese EP Extreme Player Hall has tested the performance of various games of the i9-13900K QS, which should be able to give you a good reference.
The actual measurement shows that the game performance of the unpublished i9-13900K is on average 5% faster than that of the i9-12900KF
Although the i9-13900K QS is not an official version, the performance is very close. This one is equipped with 8 P cores and 16 E cores, with a total of 24 cores and 32 threads. With 36MB L3 cache and 32MB L2 cache, a total of 68MB, in addition to 125W of basic TDP (PL1) and 250W MTP.
The test platform used by China EP Ultimate 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
First of all, let’s take a look at the 3DMark running points. The i9-13900K is much higher than the i9-12900KF in terms of pure CPU and physical scores because it has 8 more small cores. The overall score is not that big, and the i is only regarding 1~5% faster. :
No matter which resolution is used in “Polar War Howl 6”, the improvement rate is relatively small. This is mainly due to the fact that the game uses the DUNIA engine to be very old, so the CPU encounters a bottleneck following reaching a certain level:
Although the average FPS of each resolution of “Blood Killer 2” is similar, the maximum and minimum FPS part, i9-13900K is much better:
In the game “Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5”, the difference between the two processors is basically not big, but the 1440p resolution i9-13900K performs better:
In 1080p and 2K resolutions of Monster Hunter: Rise, the average FPS of the i9-13900K is 6%~7% higher than that of the i9-12900KF, but the 4K resolution is not much worse:

- Average i9-13900K for all resolutions 4.43% faster maximum FPS
In addition, the power consumption performance of each resolution is shared:
- At 1080p, the Intel Core i9-13900K consumes 19.1% more power
- At 1440p, the Intel Core i9-13900K consumes 19.8% more power
- At 2160p, the Intel Core i9-13900K consumes 26.2% more power
Before the Chinese EP Extreme Player Hall, there was also a software performance benchmark.Interested readers can click me to read。
