Honestly i really doubt it will give the 5950X a run for its money with only 8 performance cores. Outperforming in single core performance i'll believe

According to the benchmarks of the 12900KS, it's a 20% improvement on single core and 10% improvement on multi-core. The 13900K will likely perform even better.

It does show Intel is at least trying, but it's been over a year since the 5950X dropped. No doubt AMD will have a response.
