Title: GPU Mining Efficiency: Has Intel's Core i9-13900K Finally Caught Up to AMD's Ryzen 7950X?

I've been following this debate for a while, but now that the Core i9-13900K is out, I'm curious to know if it's finally a viable alternative to the Ryzen 7950X for GPU mining. I've seen some benchmarks and they seem promising, but we all know how that doesn't always translate to real-world mining performance. Has anyone else been experimenting with the Core i9-13900K for mining?

"I've been running some tests and from what I've seen, the Core i9-13900K is still a few notches behind the Ryzen 7950X in terms of mining efficiency. The power draw is lower, but the hashrate just isn't there. Still, it's a decent option for those who don't need max performance."

"Y'all, I gotta say, I've been mining some ETH on my 13900K and I'm still getting around 40% better hash rates per dollar compared to my old Ryzen 5900H rig. Don't get me wrong, the 7950X is a beast, but Intel's got some tricks up their sleeve too. Still, if you're all-in on AMD, I won't judge "

"Honestly, I've been testing the 13900K for a bit, and while it's a beast for gaming, I've seen no real difference in mining efficiency between it and the Ryzen 7950X. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but I've tried different miners and settings. Anyone else seeing this?"

"Dudes, I've been testing the i9-13900K with a 3080Ti and gotta say, it's been giving me a run for my money in terms of efficiency. The 7950X still has a slight edge, but Intel's finally closing the gap. Not sure if it's enough for me to switch, though"
