Fragz' verdict
The 13th Gen Core i9-13900K clearly takes the win, leading the 11th Gen Core i9-11950H @ 2.60GHz by a substantial 103.2% in CPU score, though it's worth noting the limited number of verified runs for both chips. This performance gap is evident in single-thread operations, where the 13th Gen achieves 0.88 Gop/s compared to the 11th Gen's 0.5 Gop/s, directly contributing to a higher FPS ceiling in many games. Furthermore, the 13th Gen Core i9-13900K boasts significantly more cores (24 vs 8), threads (32 vs 16), a larger L3 cache of 36 MB, and a higher peak clock of 6119 MHz, resulting in superior multi-threaded integer performance at 12.5 Gop/s (vs 3.7 Gop/s) and more draw calls per second (9,342,700 vs 5,567,420), all translating to a smoother experience in demanding titles and background tasks, as seen with 77.9 FPS in Supernova DX11 compared to 46.4 FPS. While the 13th Gen chip is a powerhouse, the 11th Gen Core i9-11950H @ 2.60GHz could still be a decent choice if you're on a very tight budget or only play less intensive games.

What the numbers mean
The CPU score is the processor's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the processor in, and leans heavily on the graphics card. A strong processor in a weak PC gets a low GAMING score without being worse. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
