Intel Core i9-13900K outclasses the competition in Geekbench

Raptor Lake continues to be talked about after one of the Core i9-13900K engineering champions re-emerged in Geekbench 5's single and multi-core tests, where it was able to outperform both the current flagship i9 -12900K than the Ryzen 9 5950X. Being the most powerful model, the CPU is equipped with 24 cores through a hybrid configuration consisting of 8 P-Cores and 16 E-Cores. According to what has emerged in the past, this model should also be equipped with a total cache of 68 MB.

As reported by the Geekbench 5 test info, this particular Core i9-13900K sample has a base frequency of 3 GHz and maximum of 5.5, GHz, which tells us that this is the ES3 revision already tested at the end of last month in some private tests and then resold at auction. As already known, the final versions of the processor will be able to reach 5.8 GHz in single core, in the tests however the sample was already able to reach 5.7 GHz. The motherboard used for the tests is an ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme, paired with 32GB of DDR5-6400 RAM, a very pushy configuration that even goes beyond native Raptor Lake support for DDR5-5600.

The remarkable leap forward already shown in this test reconfirms however that the fight with AMD's Ryzen 7000 will be very tight , to the benefit of the final consumer. Recall that both Intel's Zen 4 CPUs and Raptor Lake processors from Intel are expected to launch in the fall.
