Intel Core i9-13900K vs Intel Core i9-13950HX

Core i9-13900K vs Core i9-13950HX benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i9-13900K beats the Core i9-13950HX in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i9-13950HX in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i9-13900K has a slightly higher clock speed than the Core i9-13950HX. Also, the Core i9-13900K has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i9-13900K has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i9-13950HX. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i9-13900K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
