Not even two months have passed since the first Intel Alder Lake CPUs, the 12th generation Intel Core, hit the market, and benchmarks of the 13th generation flagship known as Raptor Lake have already begun to leak. this Raptor Lake flagship is the Core i9-13900K, which follows the usual Intel CPU nomenclature, and has been spotted in the benchmark database Ashes of the Singularity.
The CPU Intel Core i9-13900K The 13th generation Intel Core Raptor Lake has 24 cores and 32 threads as it appears in the Ashes of The Singularity benchmark. The results say that it is as fast as the 12900K in the ES phase, provided you have the right equipment.
First possible benchmark of a Raptor Lake
Together with its appearance in the GFX CI Bootlog and this benchmark, it would be confirmed that the i9-13900K will have up to 32 threads. The test suite has not been updated to separate physical from logical cores, and due to the hybrid design introduced in the Alder Lake generation that will be implemented in future Intel CPUs, the software is unable to report the correct number of physical cores.
It is expected to be based on an enhanced Intel 7 process node and to feature the latest Raptor Cove and Gracemont Enhanced cores. Increasing the number of efficiency cores in a single cluster should improve multithreaded processor performance. It is also expected to carry 68MB local cache, which would make them ideal for gaming and would be an answer to AMD's 3D Cache.
Regarding i9-13900K benchmark, the performance test was done with 32 GB of memory, which would most likely be DDR5 and an RTX 3090. Although it would be a very early production sample, it managed to offer performance similar to that of the Core i9-12900K.
