It would be interesting to know which res they did the bench at, I imagine it will be useful for 1080P and 1440P but I can't see there being much of a difference at 4K.

Will be interesting if they are able to overcome the challenges of overclocking with this 2nd iteration and actually allow users to manually OC to increase performance.

It'll be interesting to see how Intel answers this considering Meteorlake isn't coming out until 2024. Guessing that Raptorlake refresh will have even higher clock speeds now ^_^
"Up to" doesn't mean much. In this Hardware Unboxed comparison of the 7600X vs. the 13600K, the 7600X is up to 36% faster, while the 13600K is up to 16% faster. On average the 7600X is 5% faster. It's that average that counts, unless you play specific games.
So it literally comes down to price and which games you're actually playing. Heck, I'd even take 5% SLOWER average if it's 100EUR less.
If everyone had this mentality I think we would have a more valued market and prices may have been even lower. Yet unfortunately too many must have the latest and greatest at whatever price is given. I would do the same, 5% less for a massive saving that could go towards another component.
