Fragz' verdict
The 13th Gen Core i9-13900K is the clear winner in this CPU comparison, leading the "Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics" by a massive 99.9% in CPU score, though both chips have a thin sample size with only one and two verified runs respectively. This dominant performance is evident in its much higher single-thread performance of 0.89 Gop/s, crucial for gaming's FPS ceiling, compared to the 5600G's 0.53 Gop/s. The i9-13900K also excels in multi-threaded tasks, hitting 15 integer MT Gop/s versus 4.7 Gop/s, ensuring smoother background operations and streaming, and it delivers 116.4 FPS in the Supernova DX11 scene, nearly double the 5600G's 67.8 FPS. With 24 cores and 32 threads alongside a 5233 MHz peak clock, it easily outstrips the 5600G's 6 cores, 12 threads, and 4478 MHz. While the "Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics" is significantly outpaced, its performance in the Supernova DX11 scene shows it can still deliver playable frame rates for gamers with less demanding needs.

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
