I believe it relates to each core receiving more power or capability, allowing it to perform better over time. Since games aren't optimized to utilize all the CPU cores fully, this doesn't provide an advantage.

It might be that the game prioritizes faster clocks rather than additional cores. Having more cores usually results in smaller caches per core and reduced memory bandwidth per core.

It offers a much stronger single-core performance, resulting in a higher overall boost. According to the review, it reaches around 5.5Ghz per core, surpassing the peak of 5.1Ghz seen on the 13600K. This improvement applies across both single and all cores. The boost isn’t drastically reduced compared to the stock version, though there’s a slight decrease in higher-count chips. Each core still runs faster, preventing a noticeable slowdown. You should check the linked review for details. A screenshot from TechPowerUp shows the cache distribution differences between P and E cores, which affects performance more than a simple total cache count. The CPU-Z data confirms this variation, especially when games are running. The author also mentions that the cache sharing isn’t uniform across all cores, so the numbers don’t always add up to a straightforward total.

The L3 cache is shared, but the performance advantage remains stronger for the 13600k compared to the 13900k in that area. The Forza quirks might relate to its console origins and optimization for AMD systems along with a higher-speed RAM pool. This means even minor shifts in memory bandwidth or cache-to-core ratio could impact this title more noticeably.
