Your raw files are actually shots of multiple USD notes and a 1000 Japanese yen note. A better comparison would have been posting jpegs of the entire image from the raw file and not just crops of the image.
Anyway, I don't have a 1 USD note or any Japanese notes so it's difficult to fine tune the denoising without having a reference point. You can add/remove texture as much as you like using the options and sliders in Denoise AI.
In any case I spent a couple of minutes fiddling with _A1_0053.ARW (ISO 12800 shot) in Topaz's standalone Denoise A! v3.6.2.
On the left is the raw file as opened in Denoise AI with all the adjustments set to zero. I don't have Photo AI because I am not yet convinced its denoising is significantly better than the standalone version. On the right is a quick denoising with the model set to Raw and fiddling with the sliders a bit.
On my screen this looks pretty much on par if not slightly more realistic in some parts than the equivalent DXO crops you posted.
At the end of the day, anyone interested in this type of comparison can do their own tests using their own images and come to their own conclusions on which is best for their needs and work flow.
