AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is 6% faster in gaming than Core i9-13900K
If we can believe the reviewer's guide that got leaked today by HD technologica. The highly-anticipated AMD Ryzen 7000X3D processor has been leaked, revealing performance comparisons with the Core i9-13900K.
The leak includes data from a confidential review guide and shows that the flagship Ryzen 9 7950X3D model has been tested against the Core i9-13900K with both Radeon RX 7900 XTX and NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPUs. The new processor boasts an extended L3 cache and is being compared to the original 7950X model without the cache. Given the impressive results from the previous Ryzen 7 5800X3D with Zen3, expectations are high for the new Zen4 desktop processor. While these review guides tend to focus on optimized games and may not represent real-world performance, they offer an early glimpse into the upcoming CPU's capabilities.
The upcoming Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor, outperforms Intel's i9-13900K by 5.6% in 22 games when paired with the Radeon RX 7900 XT. The differences in performance range from 26.9% in Horizon Zero Down to Intel's superiority in games like Far Cry 6.
When paired with an RTX 4090, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is 6% faster than the i9-13900K and up to 16% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X. However, in multicore performance, Intel comes out on top in almost all tests, including popular ones like Cinebench R23 and Geekbench 5.4. The i9-13900K is also $90 cheaper and a better option for those prioritizing multicore performance. The Ryzen 9 7950X3D may be the better option for gamers with a high-end graphics card, although both the 7950X3D and the 13900K are pricey and not necessary for gaming when a more affordable i5 or Ryzen 5 can suffice. These are official AMD benchmarks, and reviews will provide more insight into the actual performance of the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and its younger sibling, the Ryzen 9 7900X3D.
Next week, Ryzen 9 7950X3D will go on sale for $699. This is how much the 7950X CPU cost when it first came out last year. However, that AMD CPU is now much cheaper and can be found for around $589. The Intel Core i9-13900K costs $569,-

Only 16% above the 7950X. That's not much.
For Zen4 owners, it might be better to just tune the memory and save good chunk of cash.
I feel like that's a lot? That makes it ~30% faster than a 5950X. I don't think you're memory tuning that kind of performance.
That's not to say that I think all Z4 owners should run out and upgrade.. but if you're sitting on a 3k series processor like a 3950x or less.. you're looking at almost a 50% increase in performance by making the jump + you're getting a whole new platform where you can probably slot the next 3 series or so in.

What is the peak power draw of the 13900k compared to the 7950x? Effienciecy should be taken into consideration as well.

Assuming the scheduling is done right, I would think 7950X3D would be slightly faster since you could run the game on the X3D chiplet and perhaps run the OS or other tasks on the normal chiplet. Some games also do seem to benefit from "going wide" across a few CCXs despite the latency penalty.
I'm reminded of the more recent Windows 11 tests for 13th gen Intel CPUs with E-cores on vs off. Initially it wasn't a big deal but in more recent tests the chips are doing noticeably better in games with the E-cores on (happy to dig up some tests for that if you like). Not really the same design philosophy as AMD's chiplets though I suppose. I also recall usually the 5800X performs slightly worse in games than the 5950X in terms of 1% lows especially. Though I did notice these days the 7700X was outperforming in some games so who knows.
Side note, man the 13700K is just a killer chip this generation. Not great efficiency compared to AMD but the performance and net value of that part seems pretty awesome. Though for gaming I'm guessing the 7800X3D will supplant it.

That 7950x3d was compared against a 13900k at stock clocks with low memory speeds of ddr5-6000Mhz. Now i wish they did the same test with the 13900k overclocked to 5.7~6.0Ghz and ddr5-7200~8200Mhz and i bet onced tuned and overclocked that 13900k will have the lead
. I will have to wait for propper reviews to see if this is true :/ . So glad my 13700k is a good overclocker and at 5.7Ghz on H2O and ddr5-7800Mhz will properly feed the 4090 on my system , it will get the most out of this configuration and plays anything i trow at it with no bottlenecks.
It seems to me the one to get is the 7800x3d , that one the price will be more reasonable and a good cpu. Not bad for gaming for just adding 3D cache.

Did you expect like...30-40% or what. 16% is a healthy jump.
