We extremely doubt that
Intel will slap an image of a carnivorous Velociraptor on its thirteenth Gen Raptor Lake CPUs, but when newly listed single-core and particularly multi-core scores on Geekbench change into correct, the chip maker would possibly need to take into account it. Each scores, purportedly obtained from a soon-to-be flagship
Core i9-13900K processor, depart the current-gen crop within the mud. We simply do not know in the event that they’re actual.
Benchmarks leaks all the time needs to be taken with a block of salt anyway, however on this case, there is a disclaimer highlighted in crimson on the high of the itemizing that claims, “This benchmark result’s invalid attributable to a problem with the timers on this technique.”
So far as we all know, there are a number of causes that would invalidate a benchmark run and set off that type of disclaimer. It could possibly be one thing as benign because the system firmware not being up to date for
Raptor Lake, or wires getting crossed between the system and Geekbench’s capability to correctly acknowledge the platform and settings. And on the flip facet, it could possibly be benchmark manipulation at play.
Regardless of the case, maintain that in thoughts when trying on the benchmark scores under…
Supply: Geekbench
Whoever uploaded this rating did so from a system outfitted with an ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Excessive motherboard and 32GB of DDR5-6400 RAM. So far as the CPU goes, the Core i9-13900K is acknowledged as a 24-core/32-thread processor with a 3GHz base frequency and 5.5GHz turbo clock.
It is value noting that ASUS just lately began
pushing out BIOS updates for its 600 collection motherboards, to help Raptor Lake (
as has ASRock). So it is no less than believable that this can be a reputable entry from an engineering pattern.
Within the benchmark run, the Core i9-13900K posted a single-core rating 2,133 and a multi-core rating of 23,701. Once more, we won’t rule benchmarking shenanigans, but when these scores are correct, they bode moderately nicely for Raptor Lake. Here is how they examine to our personal assortment of Geekbench scores…
We plucked this chart from our
Core i9-12900KS assessment. If we have been to plot the leaked Core i9-13900K scores, the CPU would ascend to the highest of the graph. Trying on the high chips, the Core i9-13900K’s single-core rating is 3.5 p.c greater than the Core i9-12900KS, 6.4 p.c greater than the Core i9-12900K, and 24.4 p.c greater than AMD’s Ryzen 9 5950X.
Even larger gaps may be noticed within the multi-core scores. these numbers, the Core i9-13900K scored 22 p.c greater than the Core i9-12900KS, 27.9 p.c greater than the Core i9-12900K, and 51.5 p.c greater than the Ryzen 9 5950X. Not too shabby.
We will hear the groans and grumbles over what quantities to an apples-to-oranges comparability with these
Raptor Lake scores, although. For one, the 24-core/32-thread Core i9-13900K advantages from having extra cores to throw at workloads—it consists of 8 P-cores and 16-E cores, the latter of which is twice as many because the Core i9-12900K/KS. In the meantime, the Ryzen 9 5950X sports activities 16 cores and 32 threads.
It is also value mentioning that Raptor Lake is a next-gen launch and, so far as AMD goes, it is going to be extra helpful to check efficiency in opposition to it is next-gen Zen 4 lineup. We might love to try this, however while you’re coping with leaks, information is restricted, so we will solely work with what’s out there.
Hopefully we’ll see some Zen 4 efficiency leaks within the close to future. Each Zen 4 and Raptor Lake are on observe to launch this 12 months.
