The Intel Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake would be 15% faster than the Core i9-12900K and 35% faster than the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X.

Intel’s Raptor Lake architecture will take on AMD Raphael CPUs, Ryzen 7000 CPUs later this year, and the performance of the top-of-the-line Core i9-13900K CPU could be up to 15% faster than the current top-of-the-line CPU. the company, with Alder Lake architecture, the Core i9-12900K.

Intel Raptor Lake Core i9-13900K could deliver 15% faster performance than Core i9-12900K and 35% faster than AMD Ryzen 9 5950X with a single thread.

The latest performance rumor comes from none other than @OneRaichu who was pretty accurate with what he said about Alder Lake performance. Now, the leaker has said that Intel’s upcoming Core i9-13900K could offer a score of over 2300 points on Geekbench 5.

Just for comparison, the Intel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake CPU scores around 2,000 points, while the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU scores around 1,700 points. Taking those scores as a benchmark, we have up to a 15% performance improvement over the Alder Lake CPU and a 35% improvement over the Zen 3 architecture CPU. This from Intel is not bad at all.

>2300 ST score in Geekbench 5 is possible.🤔

AMD should have kept some extra power in the Ryzen 7000 if it wants to dominate in performance…

Now everyone may be wondering how this score compares to AMD’s upcoming Zen 4 chips codenamed Raphael. Well, Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs are expected to deliver a single thread performance gain of more than 15%, which could range from 16-19%. Given this result, we get a score of around 1800-1900 points, which would mean that Zen 3 chips will be a bit slower than Alder Lake CPUs in single threaded performance, but Raptor Lake may end up being up to 20% faster. AMD has said that they are being conservative with their performance numbers (where it is single threaded), so the numbers could end up being more than 15%, but still it looks like Raptor Lake could have a slight edge over Zen 4.

Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake desktop CPUs, including the Core i9-13900K, are expected to launch in October 2022 with the Z790 platform, although they will also be compatible with Z690.
