Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.
The integrated graphics unit of a processor is not only responsible for the pure image output on the system, but can also significantly increase the efficiency of the system with the support of modern video codecs.
A photo or video codec that is accelerated in hardware can greatly accelerate the working speed of a processor and extend the battery life of notebooks or smartphones when playing videos.
The Intel Core i5-13600K supports a maximum of 192 GB of memory in 2 memory channels. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D can connect up to 128 GB of memory in 2 memory channels.

The Cinebench 2024 benchmark is based on the Redshift rendering engine, which is also used in Maxon's 3D program Cinema 4D. The benchmark runs are each 10 minutes long to test whether the processor is limited by its heat generation.
The Multi-Core test of the Cinebench 2024 benchmark uses all cpu cores to render using the Redshift rendering engine, which is also used in Maxons Cinema 4D. The benchmark run is 10 minutes long to test whether the processor is limited by its heat generation.
Cinebench R23 is the successor of Cinebench R20 and is also based on the Cinema 4 Suite. Cinema 4 is a worldwide used software to create 3D forms. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count.

Geekbench 6 is a benchmark for modern computers, notebooks and smartphones. What is new is an optimized utilization of newer CPU architectures, e.g. based on the big.LITTLE concept and combining CPU cores of different sizes. The single-core benchmark only evaluates the performance of the fastest CPU core, the number of CPU cores in a processor is irrelevant here.

In the Blender Benchmark 3.1, the scenes "monster", "junkshop" and "classroom" are rendered and the time required by the system is measured. In our benchmark we test the CPU and not the graphics card. Blender 3.1 was presented as a standalone version in March 2022.
Some of the CPUs listed below have been benchmarked by CPU-monkey. However the majority of CPUs have not been tested and the results have been estimated by a CPU-monkey’s secret proprietary formula. As such they do not accurately reflect the actual Passmark CPU mark values and are not endorsed by PassMark Software Pty Ltd.
Cinebench R15 is the successor of Cinebench 11.5 and is also based on the Cinema 4 Suite. Cinema 4 is a worldwide used software to create 3D forms. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count.

Efficiency of the processor under full load in the Cinebench R23 (multi-core) benchmark. The benchmark result is divided by the average energy required (CPU package power in watts). The higher the value, the more efficient the CPU is under full load.
The theoretical computing performance of the internal graphics unit of the processor with simple accuracy (32 bit) in GFLOPS. GFLOPS indicates how many billion floating point operations the iGPU can perform per second.
The CPU-Z benchmark measures a processor's performance by measuring the time it takes the system to complete all benchmark calculations. The faster the benchmark is completed, the higher the score.

This comparison is about the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D from AMD's Ryzen 7 family, which was released in the fourth quarter of 2020, and the Intel Core i5-13600K, which was released in the fourth quarter of 2022. The AMD processor is manufactured with a structure width of 7 nanometers and is based on the Vermeer (Zen 3) architecture. The Intel counterpart, although it is 2 years newer, is still manufactured using the 10 nanometer process and is based on Intel's Raptor Lake S architecture.
The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is equipped with 8 identical processor cores that clock at up to 4.50 gigahertz. It supports hyperthreading, which means it has up to 16 computing threads available. The Intel Core i5-13600K is built in a hybrid big.LITTLE core architecture. It has 6 Raptor Cove performance cores and 8 Gracemont efficiency cores. The Raptor Cove cores clock at a maximum of 5.10 gigahertz and the maximum clock speed of the Gracemont cores is 3.90 gigahertz. The performance cores support hyperthreading, which provides the processor with up to 20 computing threads. In addition, the Intel processor is also overclockable, which the AMD processor is not.
Only the Intel Core i5-13600K has an internal graphics unit. The Intel UHD Graphics 770 is used here, which is equipped with 32 execution units and 256 shaders. The iGPU clocks at up to 1.50 gigahertz and can use up to 64 gigabytes of the system's built-in RAM. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D must be operated with a dedicated graphics card; 20 PCIe lines of version 4.0 are available for this purpose. Of course, you can also use a dedicated graphics card with the Intel processor; for this it is also equipped with 20 PCIe cables, but already in version 5.0.
The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D can be operated with up to 128 GB of RAM via the 2 memory channels. The Intel Core i5-13600K even supports the operation of up to 192 GB of RAM.
