@Benchleaks has surfaced a Geekbench 5 results of a prototype Raptor Lake i9-13900K boosting as much as 5.77 GHz, and the chip has the benchmark scores to again up the excessive clock speeds: The 13900K’s single-threaded outcomes are 10% sooner than the current-gen i9-12900K, and a full 47% sooner within the multi-thread outcomes.
The nearly-5.8 GHz result’s spectacular and a transparent signal that Intel’s Raptor Lake is sort of prepared for the manufacturing line to fend off AMD’s Zen 4 Ryzen 7000. Not one of the different Raptor Lake samples we have coated touched 5.7 or 5.8 GHz, with the one exception being an i7 variant overclocked to six GHz.
The efficiency outcomes converse for themselves, with the i9-13900K being a full 10% sooner and a whopping 47% sooner within the single and multi-threaded outcomes in comparison with its predecessor. The multi-threaded rating, specifically, was helped immensely by Intel doubling the variety of E-cores on the 13900K over the previous-gen mannequin. Nonetheless, this additionally seems to be an engineering pattern, so there might be much more untapped efficiency ready to be unlocked by the event crew.
That is additionally the beginning of a brand new clock-speed warfare that may emerge within the CPU business after a protracted hiatus, with each Intel and AMD now confirmed to have chips operating increase frequencies of 5.5 GHz or greater. So it is solely a matter of time earlier than every firm begins combating it out to see who will be the primary to interrupt the 6 GHz barrier.
It also needs to be a good time for {hardware} lovers to leap again into the overclocking world and see how far they’ll push these chips. We have already seen one alleged engineering pattern of the Core i7-13700K hit 6 GHz. So we would not be stunned to see this frequency turn into commonplace amongst overclocking lovers as soon as these new chips come out — so long as the “silicon lottery” is of their favor.
Raptor Lake doesn’t have an official launch date but, however rumors report a This fall 2022 launch for the brand new CPU era, with a rumored launch date of October seventeenth. AMD’s Ryzen 7000 processors have already been confirmed for a launch date of September fifteenth.
