Cyberpunk 2077
The sixteen-core desktop Raptor Lake (Ci7-13700K) is a curious compromise between Core i9 (13900K) and Core i5 (13600K). Compared to the Core i5, it is significantly faster thanks to higher clock speeds and Turbo Boost 3.0 support, and it doesn’t lose much performance compared to Core i9 in lighter workloads, including gaming, but it is significantly more power-efficient.

Disclaimer: Performance in this game varies more than is usual for other titles due to continuous updates. We verify the consistency of results by re-testing the Ryzen 9 5900X processor before each measurement. In case of significant deviations, we discard older results and start building the database anew. Due to the incompleteness of the Cyberpunk 2077 results, we do not use Cyberpunk 2077 to calculate average CPU gaming performance.
