Minimum framerates of games evaluated on an engineering sample of Intel's Core i9-13900K have improved.
Recently, an Intel 13th Generation Core CPU was evaluated. The future K-series CPU will be a 24-core, 32-thread processor with no power limits. This is not a retail processor, but rather a qualifying sample with near-identical performance.
The Core i9-13900K outperformed the Core i9-12900KF in recent simulated testing. In identical testing, Raptor Lake scored 10% higher in single-core and 35% higher in multi-core than Alder Lake. Despite the fact that they are developed on the same node and designed for the same platform, the higher core count enhances multi-threaded performance (now featuring 16 Efficient cores). Raptor Lake is said to have higher single-core frequencies (around 5.5 GHz). A second section of the evaluation focuses on game performance. The CPU has been tested in Horizon-Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption 2, FarCry 6, Forza Horizon 5, Monster Hunter: Rise, and PUBG. Benchmarks are available for Final Fantasy Endwalker, CSGO, 3DMark Timespy, and Firestrike. ASUS motherboard with 32GB DDR5-6400 memory is used in the test platform. The MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ti SUPRIM X graphics card comes with a 1500W power supply.
In most tests, the Intel Raptor Lake CPU sample outperforms the Core i9-12900KF. CPU-bound benchmarks (such as 3DMark Physics) and minimum frame rates have risen by 11% to 28% depending on resolution. The same data was gathered by @harukaze by resolution, average, and minimum framerates. The alleged Core i9-13900K sample performs 4.46 percent faster at 1080p, the recommended resolution for CPU gaming tests.

Something looks off here... looked at it this way:
1st graph shows gaming performance relative to 12900KF, second table power draw... first I see that the increases in power draw are way higher percentages than the increases of fps, which are just above margin of error more often than not...
Horizon: Zero Dawn, they spend +39/+39/+28% more power to achieve an average of +2,8% more fps (taken from all three resolutions and all three numbers)?
RDR2 -- +32/+41/+52% power draw increase for an average 21% gain? (When clearly +77% fps gains were botched to begin with)
FF9 -- +11/+0/+15% with fps gains of ~ +4,5%
Forza -- -2/+4.5/+10% to fps gains of +11,6% (well done here)
Monster Hunter -- +29/+21/+32% for +4.75% fps
PUBG -- +6.7/+12.9/+28% power for +18% fps
1080p -- power draw +19% for 12% fps gains (with a heavy weight on min frames)
1440p -- power +19.7% for fps +11%
2160p -- power +31% for fps +5.9%
I don't know, power draw just looks way to much increased for what they actually gained from it. Might be just me missing something. But like that, this looks like they have quite a way to go...

Adding more e cores while still having 8 p cores is a bad idea. The only difference between 12900k and 13900k will be higher core clock. That wont increase fps in games as much we want to.
Wait for zen4 with v-cache boys.

Exactly. Adding just more e-cores is pointless, unless your are too concerned with cinebench scores.
Intel should have added more cache or performance cores, instead of those pathetic E-cores.

It's probably pushing a higher clock speed. And power consumption increases in geometric way, relative to clocks.
Also, this CPU is made in Intel's node 7, the same as the 12900K.
This node 7 is not a full new node. It's just a tweaked node 10.

not correct,
the 13900k has more cache as well (not to mention a higher possible ring clock)

This will be a nice upgrade from 4770k and 3800x
The jump in min fps is what we want to see in games. Looks like more cache is working for Intel too
