Fragz' verdict
The 13th Gen Core i9-13900K dominates this CPU comparison, leading the Core 7 150U by a substantial 473.2% in overall CPU score, though it's important to note the sample size is thin with only one verified run for each processor. This significant gap is evident in single-thread performance, where the 13th Gen Core i9-13900K achieves 0.89 Gop/s compared to the Core 7 150U's 0.16 Gop/s, and also in multi-threaded integer operations, scoring 15 Gop/s against 1.6 Gop/s. Furthermore, the 13th Gen Core i9-13900K delivers 116.4 FPS in the Supernova DX11 test and processes 13964310 draw calls per second, backed by its 24 cores, 32 threads, and 36 MB of L3 cache, significantly outperforming the Core 7 150U's 11.9 FPS, 1425509 draw calls per second, 10 cores, 12 threads, and 12 MB L3 cache, despite the Core 7 150U's higher peak clock of 7577 MHz. For gamers, the 13th Gen Core i9-13900K offers a vastly superior experience with a much higher FPS ceiling and stronger background task handling, making the Core 7 150U a challenging choice for any serious gaming rig based on these results.

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
