Share your thoughts on your Cinebench R23 results with the i9-13900k.
Your i9 13900k performed well under the tested conditions. The temperatures stayed stable during the full 30 minutes, and with the Extreme profile and negative offset, you should have seen good thermal management. No sync issues or core changes were made, which helped maintain consistent performance. Overall, a solid result!
It seems typical. Techspot/HUB scored 38,003 during a 10-minute test, meaning your result is about 1.7% lower after a longer session. https://www.techspot.com/review/2552-int...i9-13900k/ The microcode fix that prevents overheating may slightly affect multicore speed, and since your test lasted 30 minutes—already longer than the usual duration—the score matches what you’d anticipate. Essentially, your performance is completely within the expected range.
Yes, but the initial stock configurations had no power restrictions. The OP is applying the "Extreme" setting, which caps the CPU at 253W. This is reflected in the review: "The 13900K reached TjMAX in just 17 seconds, causing thermal throttling at a package power of 303 watts..." Their testing data accounts for the extra 50W from the profile, meaning the CPU will operate at a higher temperature than the OP's expectations.
It seems like you're discussing a technique called undervolting. This method helps improve performance per watt and can extend battery life if you stay within power constraints, allowing the system to run at full clock speed.
I overlooked the fact when I purchased my CPU in October 2023 that I executed Cinebench R23 with default configurations. The maximum temperature stayed at 79°C, and there was no thermal throttling—possibly just a fortunate match with the chip. (Score was still higher :c)
