Another alleged Intel Core i9-13900K video has emerged Bilibili (opens in new tab), a Chinese video streaming site. Erjin Homemade Taobao (EHT) compared an alleged Intel Core i9-13900K Engineering Sample (ES) with a Core i9-12900K on the same platform. MSI Z690 Godlike with colorful DDR5-4800 RAM, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card. More interestingly, the AIO 360mm liquid cooler used up both CPUs. Reviewers tested both application benchmarks and games.
Unfortunately, we don’t know the ES revision of the Raptor Lake chips, but they could be recent. An image of the processor is shown in the video, but the chip engraving is obscured except for “Intel Confidential”.
EHT characterizes this test session as a “brief analysis”. Nonetheless, they offer a pretty thorough test comparison. Her one of the first slides shared clarifies the difference between his two processors dueling in the video. Those who have been following the press on Raptor Lake development will know the big change as the new chip doubles the number of E cores and he offers 8P + 16E processors with 32 threads at his disposal. The 13th Gen Core chips have bigger caches and higher clocks, but those speedups could push the power envelope up.
As mentioned at the beginning, EHT has done some testing with apps and games. Similar to the “stock” tests, other results were collected by isoclocking the Core i9-13900K and Core i9-12900K P cores to 5.2 GHz. Therefore, comparison charts typically show 4 results for every app/game.
In our CPU-Z and Cinebench tests, the Raptor Lake performed well in the nT tests, with plenty of extra cores available. However, the 1T test was less convincing. That’s because the new generation of processors came second to him in those tests for CPU-Z.
There seems to be a problem with the game tests on the Core i9-13900K ES. In two of the largest games tested, Cyberpunk 2077 When Forza 5, Alder Lake’s predecessor came out on top in the first set of tests with the processor running on a full set of P-cores and E-cores. only) to ensure overall dominance. In fact, this video isn’t the best Raptor Lake show we’ve seen.
According to a recent leak, Intel’s 13th Generation Core ‘Raptor Lake’ CPUs will reportedly launch on September 28th with availability starting October 10th.
