Rendering Performance
We will now take a look at how rendering performance compares.
Cinebench R23
In Cinebench R23 we see the great benefits of having 14 cores and 20 threads on the Core i5-13600K versus the 6-core/12-thread 7600X. The Intel Core i5-13600K is a whopping 60% faster than the Ryzen 5 7600X! This is huge, a very big difference. Compared to the previous gen 12600K the new 13600K is 38% faster, which is a nice boost gen over gen. The 13600K is even faster than the 12700K.
In Single-Core testing the Intel Core i5-13600K is 2% faster than the Ryzen 5 7600X in single-thread performance. Compared to the 12600K the new 13600K is 4% faster.
Blender Open Data Benchmark
Take note, the Blender Open Data Benchmark has changed, it now runs 3 scenes and spits out a “Samples per Minute” number, where higher samples are better.
Blender is going to be another application that benefits from more cores and threads on the 13600K. The 13600K is 49% faster than the Ryzen 5 7600X. Compared to the 12600K the new 13600K is 37% faster. The 13600K is faster than the 12700K.
In junkshop the Core i5-13600K is 49% faster than the Ryzen 5 7600X. Compared to the 12600K the 13600K is 38% faster.
In Blender classroom the Core i5-13600K is 47% faster than the Ryzen 5 7600X. Compared to the 12600K the new 13600K is 36% faster.
V-RAY 5 Benchmark
In V-RAY 5 the new Intel Core i5-13600K is 41% faster than the Ryzen 5 7600X. Compared to the 12600K the new 13600K is 37% faster. We also see the 13600K edge out the 12700K and the Ryzen 7 7700X by 8%.
HandBrake
In HandBrake video encoding/transcoding the Intel Core i5-13600K does extremely well compared to the Ryzen 5 7600X. It allows you to export video much faster, saving you 3.3 minutes of time in our test or 33% faster over the 7600X. The 13600K is also faster than the 12700K and 7700X. Compared to the 12600K it’s a 24% improvement. These are significant results, in fact, the 13600K is very close to the time of the Ryzen 9 7900X! They are only 5% apart! That is just simply amazing, and an advantage of all those cores and threads.
