Ryzen 9 3950X vs Core i9-13900K benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i9-13900K is faster than the Ryzen 9 3950X. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Ryzen 9 3950X in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i9-13900K has significantly more cores than the Ryzen 9 3950X. Indeed, the Core i9-13900K has 24 cores compared to 16 cores found in the Ryzen 9 3950X. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 3950X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i9-13900K. Despite this, the Core i9-13900K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 9 3950X CPU outputs less heat than a Core i9-13900K CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i9-13900K has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 9 3950X. Despite this, the Ryzen 9 3950X has significantly more L3 cache compared to the Core i9-13900K.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Ryzen 9 3950X has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
