And now you’re up to speed.
Actually, we forgot one minor detail, the price.

Benchmarks
Here are theCinebench R23scores, taken after a 10 minute loop.
The gains in Adobe Photoshop are minimal.
TheBlender Open Dataresults are disappointing with a 1% increase in performance.
So the ~2% increase for the 13900KS meant it was a whopping 2% faster than the 7700X.
All that heap and power for a 2% boost on average.
Then with DDR5-7200 which the 7700X can’t use, the 13900KS was 5% faster.
Typically speaking, theRyzen 9 7950Xis a bit cheaper but those savings are eaten up by motherboard costs.
The Ryzen chip does offer superior productivity though, generally offering greater performance at significantly lower power consumption.
The cost of memory is irrelevant as you wouldn’t and shouldn’t pair either with DDR4 memory.
The Core i9-13900KS is a dumpster fire of a processor and at $699 most builders should ignore it.
Short of extreme overclockers, this is a hard pass.
