Recently, an Intel 13th Generation Core CPU was evaluated. The future K-series CPU will be a 24-core, 32-thread processor with no power limits. This is not a retail processor, but rather a qualifying sample with near-identical performance.
The Core i9-13900K outperformed the Core i9-12900KF in recent simulated testing. In identical testing, Raptor Lake scored 10% higher in single-core and 35% higher in multi-core than Alder Lake. Despite the fact that they are developed on the same node and designed for the same platform, the higher core count enhances multi-threaded performance (now featuring 16 Efficient cores). Raptor Lake is said to have higher single-core frequencies (around 5.5 GHz). A second section of the evaluation focuses on game performance. The CPU has been tested in Horizon-Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption 2, FarCry 6, Forza Horizon 5, Monster Hunter: Rise, and PUBG. Benchmarks are available for Final Fantasy Endwalker, CSGO, 3DMark Timespy, and Firestrike. ASUS motherboard with 32GB DDR5-6400 memory is used in the test platform. The MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ti SUPRIM X graphics card comes with a 1500W power supply.
In most tests, the Intel Raptor Lake CPU sample outperforms the Core i9-12900KF. CPU-bound benchmarks (such as 3DMark Physics) and minimum frame rates have risen by 11% to 28% depending on resolution. The same data was gathered by @harukaze by resolution, average, and minimum framerates. The alleged Core i9-13900K sample performs 4.46 percent faster at 1080p, the recommended resolution for CPU gaming tests.
