When looking at web browser performance, it’s pretty clear to see that the 7950X from AMD fairs very well, but the 13900K just manages to do it better and comes in 8% faster overall.

It’s a very similar story when looking at Mozilla Kraken with the 13900K leading the pack with the fastest time to finish, again, by quite some margin.

WebXPRT 4

WebXPRT 4 is a browser benchmark that compares the performance of almost any web-enabled device. It contains HTML5, JavaScript, and WebAssembly-based scenarios created to mirror the tasks you do every day: Photo Enhancement, Organize Album Using AI, Stock Option Pricing, Encrypt Notes and OCR Scan using WASM, Sales Graphs, and Online Homework. Use WebXPRT to see exactly how well different devices handle real-world tasks.

In WebXPRT 4, the i7 3700K was already ahead of everything AMD had to offer by a small margin of less than 1%, while the 13900K managed to push ahead further by just under 5% cementing its lead as the most powerful CPU in this test.
