Intel’s next-gen flagship CPU has been noticed in a leaked benchmark, with the Raptor Lake chip displaying an excellent flip of velocity.
The Core i9-13900K has turned up in PassMark, as Tum_Apisak dropped at our consideration on Twitter (courtesy of VideoCardz (opens in new tab)), with the processor being ranked on 4 pattern runs.
The 13900K scored 4,833 (averaged) in single-thread efficiency, which is round 15% quicker than its predecessor (and virtually 10% faster than the particular version 12900KS). A fairly spectacular efficiency that will get it high spot within the PassMark rankings right here.
For multi-threaded the 13900K hit 54,433 factors which is 31% quicker than the 12900K, and certainly virtually 20% faster than the Ryzen 9 5950X in PassMark’s CPU Mark. Once more, that’s an excellent early displaying, and has actually spiked some expectations round what the Raptor Lake flagship may ship – although we should always at all times be very cautious round leaked benchmarks.
Evaluation: Promising stuff – and an indication that Raptor Lake is coming quickly?
Clearly, this is only one benchmark suite – and 4 pattern runs as famous – so there’s very a lot a restrict to what we would infer right here. PassMark isn’t the benchmark we’re most excited to see in leaks both, however nonetheless, it represents a chunk of the puzzle relating to the general efficiency of the 13900K. Nevertheless it’s simply that – one piece, and never a central ingredient of the jigsaw both, many would argue.
On the identical time, there’s no denying that the sort of uplift demonstrated right here is eye-opening. Sadly, what we don’t have but is any next-gen Ryzen 7000 processors displaying up on PassMark, which might clearly make for probably the most illuminating comparability. And that’s a bit unusual, as AMD’s Zen 4 chips are out imminently – on September 27, the truth is – and Raptor Lake silicon isn’t even revealed but. (That reveal is regarded as taking place on the identical day as Ryzen 7000 goes on sale, which appears to be some tricksy maneuvering by AMD when it comes to eradicating wind from Intel’s sails).
Raptor Lake chips gained’t go on sale till subsequent month – seemingly mid-October, or thereabouts – however perhaps these benchmarks turning up now’s a glimmer of hope that they could debut sooner in October somewhat than later. We will see, however not less than it factors to Intel’s Thirteenth-gen CPUs not being delayed from their rumored launch schedule, anyway.
We already know the 13900K can boost to 5.8GHz (albeit briefly) at inventory, and a future chip – the 13900KS presumably, which once more is prone to flip up as a particular, higher-binned version of the flagship – is set to boost to 6GHz, Intel not too long ago tell us. And once more, that’s at inventory efficiency, as in default, proper out of the field.
Raptor Lake is actually shaping up impressively, then, however so is AMD’s Zen 4, with the next-gen flagship Ryzen 7950X already breaking world records in some benchmarks the place the highest performers used the likes of liquid nitrogen – and but the 7950X ran with customary you-can-do-this-at-home cooling.
