So, it's nearing the time where leaks can be valuable nuggets of reality so I'm putting a thread up.
Take this with an absolute pinch of salt but these are early leaked benchmarks of the 13900k in gaming:
13900K vs 12900K (Leaked Gaming Benches):
1080p Avg FPS - 4.22% Faster
1440p Avg FPS - 6.97% Faster
2160p Avg FPS - 3.30% Faster
1080p Min FPS - 27.93% Faster
1440p Min FPS - 21.83% Faster
2160p Min FPS - 12.82% Faster
1080p Max FPS - 6.29% Faster
1440p Max FPS - 4.42% Faster
2160p Max FPS - 2.58% Faster
1080p - 19.1% Higher Power Draw
1440p - 19.8% Higher Power Draw
2160p - 26.2% Higher Power Draw

What does this suggest?
Likely smoother experience with current gen AAA games as the 1% lows are far higher (FAR HIGHER!), but in the expectation that new gen upcoming games will likely draw more power from far more powerful cards, it likely means these chips are going to fall quite far behind, perhaps about 10 - 15% behind upcoming Ryzen.
Also, the expectation is further the case that 1080p will become less supported by upcoming GPU tiers, with further push to 4k and perhaps even the public entry of 8k 60Hz??? but certainly moving away from lower res.
But this is kind of expected. These chips are really aimed at multicore as all they're really doing is adding eCores which gaming doesn't benefit from.
