Synthetic benchmarks:
Let’s start with a series of synthetic tests that we use regularly. We have opted for the CPU scores of the 3DMark benchmarks. The idea is to isolate only the CPU score by making a customtest.
Here are the results obtained in Fire Strike and Time Spy. In Fire Strike, whether it is for the “standard” or the “ultra” version, the physics test (CPU) is identical. Therefore, you will only find the score of Fire Strike. On the other hand, for Time Spy and Time Spy Extreme, the tests are different, so you will get both scores. These scores are very interesting for overclockers to choose the platform that will offer the best performance in order to break a maximum of records.
CPU score in Fire Strike:
Let’s start with 3DMark Fire Strike, which is one of the most widely used benchmarks today. It consists of two graphics tests, a CPU test and a fourth test that combines GPU and CPU. Don’t forget to disable the demo which doesn’t add anything to the final score and prolongs the benchmark(unnecessarily).
As far as CPU scores in 3DMark benchmarks are concerned, it is often the number of cores that will make the difference. The more cores there are, the higher the score should be. However, we must also take into account the generation of the processors and the maximum frequency that these cores can reach when they are all used. So we can easily estimate the potential of our i5-13500 with its 14 cores (6+8). Indeed, we obtain a score of 34548 points but it is not enough to reach the result of the Ryzen 77700. As a reminder, the 13500 benchmarks on the six P cores at 4.5 GHz and on the eight E cores at while the Ryzen 7000 benchmarks on its eight cores at 4.875 GHz.
CPU score at Time Spy:
The second test is 3DMark Time Spy. Although this one is done in 1440p, it has the particularity of using DirectX 12. It consists of two graphical tests and a CPU test. As for Fire Strike, don’t forget to disable the demo. These two first benchmarks are proposed by UL Benchmark.
Second CPU benchmark and once again our i5-13500 comes out perfectly with an excellent score of 16670 points.
CPU score at Time Spy Extreme:
The second test is 3DMark Time Spy. Although this one is done in 2160p, it has the particularity of using DirectX 12. It consists of two graphical tests and a CPU test. As for Fire Strike, don’t forget to disable the demo.
On the “Extreme” version of Time Spy, the i5-13500 logically drops a few places and is 31 points behind the Ryzen 7 7700X but well ahead of the Ryzen 7 7700 once again.
