What counts in the end: Who offers the best package? And a super-fast processor alone is not enough. The test winner was Intel's Core i7-14700K. The 20-core processor was extremely fast, its graphics chip offered a decent speed and it left nothing to be desired in terms of energy consumption...

Our lab has never seen a faster CPU! The Intel Core i9-13900K is extremely fast and outperforms its predecessor by 30 percent and more.

Intel's top model Core i9-13900K worked 21 per cent faster on average than its predecessor in testing and consumed six per cent less energy. In terms of speed, the CPU is on par with AMD's top model, the Ryzen 9 7950X, but it consumes much less energy and therefore remains number one...

With Raptor Lake and the Core i9 13900K, Intel has once again increased the clock speed. This, coupled with fast DDR5 RAM, gives the CPU by far the highest gaming performance in testing, although the performance of the Core i9 13900K quickly fades into the background during gaming...
