24-core Intel Raptor Lake Core i9-13900 spotted

Intel is expected to release its new-gen “Raptor Lake” processors later this year, and leaks are beginning to hit the web. Recently, someone with what seems to be a Core i9-13900 engineering sample began testing the chip, with multiple benchmark entries appearing on the SiSoftware Sandra database. 

According to SiSoftware (WebArchive backup), the Intel Core i9-13900 is a 24-core processor (32 threads) with 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores. Based on the Intel 7+ process node, these processors will ship with 20% more L3 cache and over twice the amount of L2 cache than the Core i9-12900 CPU. Moreover, the Raptor Lake chips will support DDR5-5600 memory and the same TDP as Alder Lake CPUs.

With the Raptor Lake chip running at 3.7 GHz on the P-Cores and 2.76 GHz on the E-Cores, it beat the Alder Lake equivalent in all tests except for the SIMD test. On the ALU/FPU tests, the 13th Gen Core CPU shattered all other contenders, scoring 9% to 29% higher than the second-best, the Ryzen 9 5900X. Compared to the Core i9-12900, the Raptor Lake processor was 33% to 50% faster in this benchmark suite.

Intel is expected to release the first batch of Raptor Lake CPUs in Q3/Q4 2022. Pricing has been officially revealed, but rumours claim it will be slightly higher than Alder Lake.
