News and articles for the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the Intel Core i9-13900K
AMD Ryzen 7000 and Intel Core i 13 Gen at almost 6 GHz clock speed
Posted by Stefan on 2022-08-29
In September, both AMD and Intel are introducing their new mainstream desktop processors. It doesn't seem to have been as close as this year for a long time, leaked benchmarks of the new top models from AMD and Intel point to a head-to-head race.
This year even the 6 GHz clock limit is almost within reach. With a good cooler and some overclocking it should be possible to reach the 6 GHz limit. But even in series production, the manufacturers try to realize the highest possible clock frequency, at least on one core.

Intel Core i7-13700K could debut with 16 cores and 24 threads
Posted by Stefan on 2022-07-20
According to an internal Intel slide published at the end of last year, the Intel Core i7-13700K could have 8+8, i.e. 16 CPU cores that provide 24 threads. The interesting thing about the slide is that it was recently confirmed by newer leaks of the Intel Core i9-13900K and the Intel Core i5-13600K as the number of cores and also the size of the cache matches with recently published CPU-Z screenshots of alleged development models.
Comparison of the two processors
With the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, we are today comparing AMD's mainstream desktop top model with Intel's desktop top model, the Intel Core i9-13900K. Both processors are designed for users who need maximum performance both in computer games and for demanding applications.The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is a processor with 16 equally sized CPU cores that can process up to 32 threads at the same time thanks to AMD's Simultaneous Multithreading technology. The clock frequency is 4.2 GHz, which can reach up to 5.7 GHz in turbo mode.
Intel is taking a different approach with the Intel Core i9-13900K. A hybrid core structure is used in the Intel Core i9-13900K, which consists of 8 large performance cores (Raptor Cove architecture) and a further 16 smaller efficiency cores (Gracemont architecture). The clock frequency is 3.0 GHz (5.8 GHz Turbo), the smaller cores clock at 2.2 GHz (4.3 GHz in Turbo mode).
Processors with a hybrid core structure are usually more efficient when idle and also in partial load ranges. Under full load, the advantage over a classic core structure is no longer there.
Both processors have an integrated graphics unit, which is not very powerful on either processor, but is sufficient for image and video output. Modern computer games require a dedicated graphics card.
Both the Intel Core i9-13900K and the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D can address modern DDR5 RAM. The Intel Core i9-13900K officially supports up to 128GB of DDR5-5600 memory with a maximum bandwidth of just under 79GB per second. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D can also support 128 GB of memory with up to DDR5-5200.
Both processors also support the current PCIe 5.0 standard in order to be able to connect fast graphics cards and M.2 SSDs in the best possible way.
