So, for those thinking about making a system upgrade this holiday (you know, treating yourselves with a present), the guys at TechPowerUp have been doing a series of articles where they compare two CPUs with a larger amount of games than usual while using a RTX 4090 to avoid GPU bottlenecks as much as possible.

So far there's only three of those articles, and only one of them uses one of the new released CPUs, which means that there's room for more of these articles, but at least tkey can help you decide what's better, a whole system upgrade or, if you're on an AM4 system, just a CPU upgrade.

Here are the links:

RTX 4090 & 53 Games: Ryzen 7 5800X vs Core i9-12900K Review: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/rtx-4090-53-games-ryzen-7-5800x-vs-core-i9-12900k/
     >>The 12900K is up to 16% faster at 1080p, 14% at 1440p and 6.5% at 4K

RTX 4090 & 53 Games: Ryzen 7 5800X vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D Review: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/rtx-4090-53-games-ryzen-7-5800x-vs-ryzen-7-5800x3d/
     >>The 5800X3D is up to 18.5% faster at 1080p, 15% at 1440p and 6.8% at 4K, making it faster than the 12900K

RTX 4090 & 53 Games: Core i9-13900K vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D Review: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/rtx-4090-53-games-core-i9-13900k-vs-ryzen-7-5800x3d/
     >>The 13900K is up to 6% faster at 1080p, 5% at 1440p and not even 1.5% at 4K

So far, these articles only reinforce the idea that Yuri has said countless times, that those on an AM4 system should go for a 5800X3D, but I hope they make more of these articles to include CPUs like the 13600K and the 7700X or 7600X, to have processors in other price points.
