In the Blender Benchmark, Intel's 13th Generation Raptor Lake CPUs are beating AMD's new Ryzen 7000 series processors in a big way. The Core i7-13700K from Intel can compete with the Ryzen 9 7900X, the Core i5-13600K is much better than the Ryzen 7 7600X and Ryzen 7 7700X.

Blender is an open-source tool for making content that can do many things, such as 3D rendering, video editing, modelling, visual effects for animation, and more. Because of this, the programme can be challenging on both the CPU and GPU, which makes it a great tool for benchmarking. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, which has 16 cores and scores 607.53 points, is at the top of the list. At 557.66 points, the 24-core Core i9-13900K is below the Ryzen 9 7950X. The Core i7-13700K has 429.7 points, the Core i5-13600K has 358.18 points, the Ryzen 7 7700X has 305.51 points, and the Ryzen 5 5600X has 234.65 points. The only chips that can beat Intel's Raptor Lake CPUs in Blender's heavy multi-core workload are AMD's Ryzen 9 parts. The Core i9-13900K is 9% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X, and the Core i7-13700K is 7.6% slower than the Ryzen 9 7900X.

When we look at the reviews of Raptor Lake in a few weeks, it will be interesting to see how it works out. But Intel's latest version of its hybrid CPU architecture could help the company win the multi-threaded battle.
