According to his tweet @BenchLeaks, Intel’s first Raptor Lake T model has landed on our radar, and it could turn out to be fantastic. This chip is known as the i7-13700T. His T variant of Intel’s chip features very low power consumption, similar to his mobile chip with a 35W TDP. The i7-13700T scored faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X, and compared the power consumption to the i5-12600K.
| CPU model: | Single core result | Multicore result | Single core difference | Multi-core difference |
| Core i7-13700T 35W | 1939 | 11564 | 100% | 100% |
| Ryzen 7 5800X | 1669 | 10316 | 14% slower | 11% slower |
| Core i5-12600K | 1858 | 11634 | 4% slower | 0.6% faster |
| Core i7-13700K | 1909 | 14157 | 2% slower | 22% faster |
There are no official specs for the new parts yet, so take the data with a little salt. geek bench, The 13700T has an incredibly low base clock of 1.4 GHz with a 35W TDP. But to make up for that, the chip features a significantly higher boost clock of 4.8 GHz. This is a very high value for a T tip. This could be attributed to Raptor Lake’s new performance cores, which already boost above 5.5 GHz on the high-end SKUs.
In addition to this difference, the i7-13700T features exactly the same core specs as its power-hungry counterpart with 8 P-cores and 8 E-cores.
| model | core: | boost | base power | maximum turbo power |
| i9-13900K | 24-8P+16E | 5.8GHz max boost | 125W | 253W |
| i7-13700K | 16 – 8P+8E | 5.4GHz max boost | 125W | 253W |
| i7-13700T | 16 – 8P+8E | 4.8GHz max boost | 35W | none |
Compared to other Raptor Lake parts, the T model’s power reduction is significant, achieving a 72% power reduction at base. I’m not sure what Intel’s limit is for turbo boost peak power. But perhaps the chip can spike past 70 or 80W for a short time to reach those very high clocks.
Still, even with a peak turbo power of less than 100W, that’s significantly less power compared to the 253W peak boost power of the 13700K and 13900K, and even less compared to AMD Ryzen 5000 series chips.
But don’t let its low TDP fool you. The 13700T seems like a blazingly fast chip that packs a punch for its weight class. The chip has a very respectable single-core score of 1,939 points and a multi-core score of 11,564 points.
With a score like this, the 13700T should be able to beat some very strong competitors, including AMD. Ryzen 7 5800X 12% to 16% improvement in both single-threaded and multi-threaded scores, as well as Intel’s own Core i5-12600K – 5% better for single core scores and about the same for multicore scores.
Surprisingly, the 13700T is Core i7-12700K, Beat it with a single core score. However, this chip didn’t match the higher power envelope he had of 12700K on the multithreaded score.
All in all, if this bench is to be believed, the 13700T shows a very different side to Intel’s Raptor Lake microarchitecture that we’ve never seen before. Intel has always pushed the power envelope higher and higher with Alder Lake and now with Raptor Lake it has the highest official turbo power specs we’ve ever seen so all Intel cares , seems to be more performant, regardless of power consumption. .
But the 13700T shows that the Raptor Lake architecture can also be rolled back for efficiency.
Unfortunately, currently only Geekbench 5 results are available, and we don’t know the full story of the 13700T’s true performance. But hopefully we can revisit this chip in other benchmarks soon to see what it can really do at 35W.
