Fragz' verdict
The Ryzen 5 5600 decisively wins this CPU comparison, leading the 13th Gen Core i7-13620H by a substantial 120.3% in overall CPU score. This advantage is starkly visible in gaming-critical metrics, with the Ryzen 5 5600 delivering 0.57 Gop/s in single-thread performance, which typically dictates the FPS ceiling in games, compared to the i7's 0.43 Gop/s. Furthermore, the Ryzen 5 5600 demolishes the Supernova DX11 scene at 85.8 FPS against the i7's 10.5 FPS, showcasing significantly greater raw CPU gaming power and draw call capabilities. While the 13th Gen Core i7-13620H did have 10 cores and 16 threads, its overall CPU score and performance in key tests like integer operations and draw calls per second lagged far behind. It's worth noting that the 13th Gen Core i7-13620H has only one verified run, making the sample thin and its true potential uncertain. However, based on the current data, the Ryzen 5 5600 is the undisputed champion for gamers seeking robust CPU performance.

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
