Intel has but to formally announce and begin shipments of its unlocked Core i9-13900K ‘Raptor Lake’ processor, however a few of its artificial benchmark outcomes have already been printed. The flagship CPU already tops PassMark’s single-thread rankings, beating predecessors and processors from AMD and Apple (as seen by @Tum_Apisak).
Intel’s Core i9-13900K processor has eight high-performance cores working at 3.0 GHz base clock and 16 energy-efficient working at 2.20 GHz base frequency. Nonetheless, when most single-thread efficiency is required, it activates Thermal Velocity Increase and skyrockets high-performance cores to a powerful 5.80 GHz (at 241W). The CPU scores 4,883 factors in PassMark’s single-thread efficiency benchmark, which is 471 factors increased than Intel’s Core i9-12900KS.
In reality, Intel’s twelfth Technology Core i7 and Core i9 ‘Alder Lake’ processors have led PassMark single-thread CPU efficiency rankings for some time now. Largely due to excessive clocks and excessive IPC execution, these processors dethroned Apple’s M1 system-on-chip that topped this benchmark all through 2021.
But, Apple’s single-thread effectivity speaks for itself: in a bid to beat Apple’s M2 processor (as much as 3.50 GHz at 22W ~ 30W), Intel’s Core i9-13900K (as much as 5.80 GHz at 241W) needed to work at a 65% increased frequency whereas consuming virtually an order of magnitude extra energy. After all, Intel’s new flagship CPU has 24 (8P+16E) cores and may course of as much as 32 threads per clock, beating all of Apple’s choices in artificial benchmarks.
In the meantime, Intel’s yet-to-be-released Core i9-13900K just isn’t the very best high-end CPU in PassMark’s basic CPU benchmark that takes under consideration each single-thread and multi-thread efficiency. AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper processors clearly lead the sport right here. For now, the Core i9-13900K leaves behind AMD’s previous-generation Ryzen 9 5950X by a cushty margin. Nonetheless, in a couple of days, AMD’s next-generation Ryzen 9 7950X enters the sector, and we’re desperate to see whether or not it beats Intel’s providing.
Whereas the outcomes of Intel’s upcoming Core i9-13900K processor appear legit, take them with a grain of sale as we is likely to be coping with pre-production {hardware} with all attainable penalties.
