(Image credit: Future)Intel shared specs, pricing, benchmarks, and architectural details for its 13th-Gen Raptor Lake lineup today, touting its flagship Core i9-13900K as the 'world's fastest desktop processor.' The lineup includes three new processors with frequencies that jump up to 5.8 GHz, a new record for the mainstream desktop, and more e-cores, giving Intel the core count lead on the mainstream desktop for the first time since AMD's Ryzen arrived back in 2017. Intel also announced that the 6 GHz version of the…

Intel Raptor Lake is coming, and it’s coming soon. With several new processors on the way, it’s hard not to focus on the flagship, the Intel Core i9-13900K. Equipped with a seemingly endless number of cores, capable of hitting those ultra-high clock speeds, and socket-compatible with Alder Lake, it seems to check most of the boxes as far as the top-shelf CPUs are concerned. On the other hand, the Core i9-13900K is likely to be more expensive than its predecessor, and that processor is still not cheap despite having…

Intel is launching its 13th-generation Raptor Lake processors with the 24-core Core i9-13900K — and on the same day that AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X hits store shelves. The Core i9-13900K and Ryzen 9 7950X are the flagship offerings of the next generation, and with both arriving so closely, PC builders have a tough choice between AMD or Intel. Although the Core i9-13900K isn’t here yet, we can get an idea about how it holds up to the results we gathered in our Ryzen 9 7950X review. It’s best to wait for further testing…

Intel is kicking off its 13th Gen Core CPU lineup, codenamed 'Raptor Lake', starting with high-end desktop models aimed at gamers and enthusiasts. The company makes a fresh claim to the title of "the world's fastest desktop processor" with the flagship Core i9-13900K, which features a 5.8GHz peak boost speed and a total of 24 cores - of which eight are high-performance 'P-cores' with Hyper-Threading, and 16 are smaller single-threaded 'E-cores' for power efficiency. Intel claims up to a 15 percent improvement in…

After weeks of teasers and leaks, Intel is finally making its 13th Gen processors official today. Intel’s 13th Gen desktop CPUs will start arriving on October 20th, led by the flagship Core i9-13900K priced at $589. That’s the same price as Intel’s previous 12900K flagship, despite Intel’s warning of price increases. Intel’s 13th Gen announcement comes just as AMD launches its new Ryzen 7000 processors today in a battle for desktop dominance.Intel’s Core i9-13900K will ship with 24 cores, 32 threads, and clock speeds of…

Intel has yet to formally announce and start shipments of its unlocked Core i9-13900K 'Raptor Lake' processor, but some of its synthetic benchmark results have already been published. The flagship CPU already tops PassMark's single-thread rankings, beating predecessors and processors from AMD and Apple (as noticed by @Tum_Apisak). Intel's Core i9-13900K processor has eight high-performance cores operating at 3.0 GHz base clock and 16 energy-efficient working at 2.20 GHz base frequency. However, when maximum single-thread…

Thanks to an early Intel Core i9-13900K retail review on Bilibili, we get an early look at Raptor Lake's architectural enhancements and performance improvements over Intel's 12th Gen Alder Lake architecture on finalized CPU silicon. Be warned that this review is super early, released far earlier than the October 20 official launch. So take all this info with a grain of salt.The review shows us that Intel's design philosophy going into Raptor Lake was to improve both its frequency headroom and its multi-threaded…

Another purported Intel Core i9-13900K video has surfaced on Bilibili (opens in new tab), the Chinese video streaming site. Erjin Homemade Taobao (EHT) compared an alleged Intel Core i9-13900K engineering sample (ES) against a Core i9-12900K on the same platform; an MSI Z690 Godlike with Colorful DDR5-4800 RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card. For extra interest, an AIO 360mm liquid cooler tamed both CPUs. The reviewer tested both application benchmarks and games.Unfortunately, we don’t know the Raptor Lake…

@Benchleaks has surfaced a Geekbench 5 result of a prototype Raptor Lake i9-13900K boosting up to 5.77 GHz, and the chip has the benchmark scores to back up the high clock speeds: The 13900K's single-threaded results are 10% faster than the current-gen i9-12900K, and a full 47% faster in the multi-thread results.The nearly-5.8 GHz result is impressive and a clear sign that Intel's Raptor Lake is almost ready for the production line to fend off AMD's Zen 4 Ryzen 7000. None of the other Raptor Lake samples we've covered…

According to a report by VideoCardz, a Chinese retailer has managed to grab an engineering sample of Intel's Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake CPU and sold it online. The listing says this Core i9-13900K packs eight performance cores and 16 efficiency cores, with a total thread count of 32, and claims to be working on a ROG Z690 Apex motherboard. The part was sold for 2850 RMB, or about $426.For the uninitiated, Raptor Lake is Intel's upcoming 13th generation of CPUs running on an enhanced Alder Lake architecture called Raptor…
