Intel Core i5-13600K Geekbench Results Pop Up
It's a busy day when it comes to Intel Raptor Lake benchmark leaks and this time around, we're looking at a pair of Core i5-13600K CPUs, but in two different motherboards. The first CPU sits in an ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme board and is paired with 32 GB of DDR5 memory, whereas the second CPU is in an ASRock Z690 Steel Legend WiFi 6E board, this one also paired with 32 GB of RAM, but DDR4 rather than DDR5. Both systems are running Windows 10 and unlike the Core i9-13900K results that we saw a couple of weeks ago, these two results are both valid according to the Geekbench results browser.
Courtesy of @harukaze5719 we have a nice graph with the results below, even comparing them to the average Geekbench results for a Core i5-12600K, as well as a Ryzen 9 5950X and a Ryzen 5 5600X. The Core i5-13600K beats everything in the single threaded results and the ASUS system is not far behind the Ryzen 9 5950X in the multithreaded tests. The ASUS system is significantly faster than the ASRock one though, so it seems like Raptor Lake is really making the most out of DDR5 memory. As we don't know the memory clocks, it's hard to say if that is also a contributing factor here, but it's likely that the ASUS system uses much faster memory, as in some of the sub-tests like Rigid Body Physics, the two systems are on par in terms of performance. It'll be interesting to see how Intel prices these upcoming CPUs, especially considering that the company has already warned it'll raise its prices in time for the retail availability of Raptor Lake.

At the highest clocks: E-core has 1.5x power efficiency and 1.2x area efficiency relative to P-core
At the same clock: E-core has 1.0x power efficiency and 1.6x area efficiency
As long as there is a 240 W power limit, 10P+0E can only deliver MT performance equivalent to 8P+4E or 6P+8E, and 8P+0E is better if you want to concentrate on ST performance.When Lakefield (intel's first hybrid architecture) was announced at Hot Chips 2019, they officially called it as "Big-Bigger", not big-little.
Recently, more and more ARM chips are composed of three types of cores (prime-big-little), and the relationship between P-core and E-core is similar to that between ARM's prime and big cores.
Make it worth your time. Build the most powerful system you can afford. Then use it until it dies. Trying to recover a few bucks selling old hardware is nice but unless you have a whole rack of servers, worrying about the depreciation in a three hundred dollar cpu may not be worth your time. Good luck.
16 cores can feel awful cramped.
I will wait for legit reviews and see how the new 13th gen Intel CPUs perform but I think there will not be much increase in the IPC rather the higher cache will boost some games apps using it.
I wonder what is the difference between the ASUS and ASrock? The cpu is the same but results vary noticeably. Power limits perhaps? More juice with the ASUS set-up. Wonder, how much more.
