The new 13th generation Intel processors are coming soon! Leaks fall almost every day, rumors of all kinds abound on social networks, and tests fall. The i9 13900K Raptor Lake has already been benched, but then, what is it worth?

The Intel i9 13900K processor, even more powerful than the AMD Ryzen 7000

The arrival on the market of 13th generation Intel processors is imminent. Even if the range has not formalized a release date, it is easy to imagine that we will see these processors at the same time as those of their longtime competitor, AMD.

Different manufacturers have even launched pre-orders of motherboards compatible with the AMD Ryzen 7000, these same manufacturers will not even have to offer other products for 13th generation Intel since this range will be compatible with the LGA 1700 socket, which already supports DDR5.

It was via the Geekbench 5 measurement software that tests were carried out on the i9 13900K (24 cores and 32 threads). The figures are formal: it is very powerful.

The i9 13900K offers a clock frequency of 5.52 GHz, but can be boosted up to 5.79 GHz. To give you an idea, the very good AMD Ryzen 9 5950X can be boosted to 4.9 GHz (in single core) and 4.2 GHz (in multi core).

Thanks to this benchmark, we discover that Intel’s new processor is 54% more efficient in multi-core than the Ryzen 9 5950X.

The Intel i9 13900K offers a score of 2314 in single core and 26464 in multi core (in DDR5). The i9 12900K, from the previous generation, is at 1987 in single core and 17287 in multi core.

The 13th generation obviously promises to be more powerful than the previous generation, even though Intel remains on the same architecture.

The new generation easily exceeds 5 GHz of clock frequency, and even on the i5 and i7, that is to say if Intel has succeeded in its bet on the optimization of their CPUs. Now, all that remains is to know their prices, especially since Intel manufactures its chips at TSMC, in Taiwan, in a very complicated geopolitical context.

Intel is giving their i9 processors a little makeover

News never comes alone, i9 packaging will change! Even those of previous generations.

Intel has decided to create smaller, but above all more sober boxes for their high-end processors. No more big box that houses the very small chip, Intel gives way to a thinner box. Intel has a habit of creating very original packaging on their shapes, even quite bizarre, which should make us wonder regarding how Intel’s marketing departments see High Tech fans…
