The test results of the upcoming Intel Core i9-13900K processor have appeared on the network. They were held by one of the reviewers, who was able to buy an engineering sample of the chip. The device contains a total of 24 computing cores and supports 32 instruction streams.
In synthetic tests, the Intel Core i9-13900K (Raptor Lake) engineering sample outperforms the Core i9-12900KF (Alder Lake) by about 10% in single-core mode and more than 35% in multi-core mode. Both chips are manufactured according to the same technical process and are intended for use within the same platform. The increase in multi-core performance is due to the increase in the number of cores (16 Efficient cores are available in the Core i9-13900K). At the same time, the performance gain in single-core mode is associated with a higher operating frequency – Raptor Lake can reach a frequency of 5.5 GHz.
The browser also published the second part of the test, which compared performance in games. Tested on Horizon-Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption 2, FarCry 6, Forza Horizon 5, Monster Hunter: Rise and PUBG. Final Fantasy Endwalker, CSGO, 3DMark Timespy and Firestrike benchmarks were also used. The test platform was an ASUS ROG Z690 Extreme motherboard with 32GB of DDR5-6400 RAM and an MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ti SUPRIM X graphics card.
The Intel Core i9-13900K engineering sample performed better in almost all tests. The biggest increase can be seen in tests that actively use the CPU, as well as a noticeable increase in the minimum frame rate in games – from 11% to 28% depending on the resolution. Compared to the average gaming performance boost at 1080p, the Core i9-13900K is about 4.46% faster.
Along with the increase in performance, there is also an increase in power consumption in games. Peak CPU power consumption was higher in almost every scenario. Actual changes in power consumption ranged from -3W to +44W. But in most games, power consumption was higher, regardless of resolution.
As expected, the official announcement of the 13th generation Intel Core processors will take place in September, and they will enter the market in October.
