Intel Raptor Lake was finally announced at the Pax West Event in 2022 after Intel leaked it accidentally on their official website. With all the innovations added to the chip by Intel, users will experience a huge performance boost over the 12th gen processors.
To compete with this advanced 13th gen Raptor Lake chips, AMD has also come up with the Ryzen 7000 series. Previously, AMD was successful in beating Intel at times. But this season seems a bit tough for them.
Intel's i9 Series, which is currently the top-end series processor of Intel will also get its 13th gen upgrade. The Intel Core i9 13900K is the top-end processor.
AMD Ryzen 9 will compete with the 13900K to stay at the top of the processor market. Here are some details regarding which processor is better and which one should gamers buy.
Comparison between Intel Core i9 13900K and AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
Both of the processors are enough for users to get a next-gen and a lot faster experience than the current-gen chips. But a question that still arises is which processor will perform better.
Although the RX 7950 will be released on September 27, the release of the i9 13900K is still awaited. So every detail related to performance is just based on leaks. Intel fans must wait for the official release of the exact benchmark.
The Intel Core i9 13900K belongs to Intel Core i9 Family which comes with Raptor Lake-S architecture. In contrast, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X belongs to the 6th gen AMD Ryzen 9 Family, which comes with "Raphael" Zen 4 architecture.
