Intel Core i7-13700K reached 6.18 GHz with overclock

With a single thread, the unreleased Intel Core i7-13700K processor reached over a thousand points on the CPU-Z benchmark this week. The overclock was accomplished by setting the eight performance cores to almost 6,200 MHz and the eight efficiency cores to 4,200 MHz.

The Raptor Lake CPU was installed on a DDR4 memory-equipped Asus Z690 ROG Strix A motherboard. Since hyperthreading was deactivated, CPU-Z displays just 16 threads. According to unofficial data gathered thus far, this model has 24 threads. The engineering sample of i7-13700K obtained 1009.9 points in single thread and 11877 points in multithreaded performance with all threads. Leaks indicate that, with this overclock, the CPU outperforms the 13th generation's flagship processor, the i9-13900K. According to the leaker, Raptor Lake CPUs are compatible with voltages of 1.3V and may be cooler than existing Alder Lake processors. The i7-13700K in this instance was set with a voltage of 1,536V. Unfortunately, neither the cooling system nor the temperatures were disclosed. 

According to speculations, the unveiling of the Intel Core Raptor Lake CPUs will take happen during the September 28 Intel innovation event, and the launch will occur several weeks later.
