Does core i9 need water cooling?
Intel recommends that you use a 240mm AIO cooler or greater (or air equivalent) for the Core i9-13900K. While we expect most enthusiasts will pair an i9 CPU with high-end air or liquid cooling, we'll also be testing with more basic air coolers to see what can be gained or lost with different levels of cooling.

Why is ‌m1‌ chip so fast than core i9?
Since the M1 chips have a single source of memory, as opposed to having different memory for the system and a graphics memory, there's very low latency with memory sharing. Apple's integrated graphics chip with unified memory also helps with power efficiency.

Are 6 cores enough for gaming?
Generally speaking, six cores is usually considered optimal for gaming in 2021. Four cores can still cut it but would hardly be a future-proof solution. Eight or more cores might provide performance improvement, but all this depends mainly on how a particular game is coded and what GPU the CPU would be paired with it.
