@benchleaks Geekbench 5 results reveal a prototype Raptor Lake i9-13900K boosted to 5.77 GHz. This chip has benchmark scores to back up its high clock speeds. On the i9-12900K, multithreaded results are a whopping 47% faster.
The nearly 5.8 GHz result is impressive and clearly shows that Intel’s Raptor Lake is almost production-line ready to fend off AMD’s Zen 4 Ryzen 7000. The only exception is the i7 variant which is overclocked to 6 GHz.
The performance results tell us that the i9-13900K is a whopping 10% faster and a whopping 47% faster compared to its predecessor in single and multi-threaded results. In particular, the multithreading score is greatly improved with Intel doubling the number of E-cores in his 13900K from his previous generation model. However, this also looks like an engineering sample, so there may be more undeveloped performance waiting to be unlocked by the development team.
It’s also the start of a new clock speed war to emerge after a long hiatus in the CPU industry, with both Intel and AMD confirmed to have chips running boost frequencies above 5.5 GHz. . So it’s only a matter of time before companies start competing to be the first to break his 6 GHz barrier.
It should also be a great time for hardware enthusiasts to get back into the world of overclocking and see how far they can push these chips, with one questionable engineering sample of the Core i7-13700K hitting 6 GHz. has already been verified. So, with these new chips coming out, it wouldn’t be a surprise if this frequency became commonplace among overclocking enthusiasts, as long as the “silicon lottery” was in their favour.
There is no official release date for Raptor Lake yet, but rumors have reported a Q4 2022 release for the new CPU generation, with a rumored release date of October 17th. AMD’s Ryzen 7000 processors have already been confirmed with a September 15th release date.
