Intel Core i9-13900K "Raptor Lake" Tested Again, 30% Faster Than Predecessor in Cinebench R23
Intel's upcoming Core i9-13900K "Raptor Lake" flagship desktop processor continues to amaze with its performance lead over the current i9-12900K "Alder Lake," in leaked benchmarks of the processor tested in a number of synthetic benchmarks. The 8P+16E hybrid processor posts a massive 30% lead in multi-threaded performance with Cinebench R23, thanks to higher IPC on the P-cores, the addition of 8 more E-cores, higher clock speeds, and larger caches all around. These gains are also noted with CPU-Z Bench, where the i9-13900K is shown posting a similar 30% lead over the i9-12900K.
In gaming benchmarks, these leads translate into a roughly-10-15 percent gain in frame-rates. Games still aren't too parallelized, Intel Thread Director localizes gaming workloads to the P-cores, which remain 8 in number. And so, the gaming performance gains boil down mainly to the IPC increase of the "Raptor Cove" P-cores, and their higher clock-speeds, compared to the 8 "Golden Cove" P-cores of the i9-12900K. From the looks of it, the i9-13900K will maintain a competitive edge over the upcoming AMD Ryzen 9 7950X mainly because the high IPC of 8 (sufficient) P-cores sees it through in gaming benchmarks, while the zerg-rush of 24 cores clinches the deal in multi-threaded benchmarks that scale across all cores.

I might make a stretch and get the 13900 instead if the 13700 (or 7950).
Very happy I decided to wait till 2022 end to make the upgrade, skipping AL.
Unless you profile data is out of date that is a very odd upgrade path, like upgrading to a Ferrari from a Hyundai or something...
in response to article:
Dear lord 380 watts...
It can still do some casual gaming and premier pro 2022 and Lightroom but you can feel the age...
I can see you had a nice jump as well from SB to AL.you forgot a 0, I corrected it for you ;)
It clearly says MTP: (around) 440W

multicore perf is amazing... but i think intel really should make the cpu more power efficient and cooler..
but gaming perf compared to a 9900k the 13900k doesnt lead by that much
Well the RL P cores seem to be doing pretty well, and however they increase the MT performance, does it really matter to someone who won't buy Intel anyway?
The only problem i can see with the 13900k is going to be the stupid power use. I guess if you have the cash to buy the top dog, you can cool it, or know how to tweak it to keep it in check. Same as AMD users under volting and keeping 90% of the performance, i guess the same can be done with this
Amd has to increase clocks and power consumption to stay competitive so...
Funny though, back when intel was increasing power and clocks while amd waa adding cores, people flamed intel. Now that the exact opposite is happening people still flame intel
It may perform exceptionally better than Alder Lake because of that.
You cannot win in MT when the opponent has a truckload of cores no matter how weak they are.
Intel is at the right path and I really like the added e cores in the 13900K.
((it would be interesting if there was a cheaper model like a 13600 with 6p and 16 e cores))
The bad thing is that they are forced to increase the p cores frequency (and power usage) at ridiculous levels because of the 3Ds that are on the way.
For power consumption increases check zen 4, got plenty of that, up to 60% more power.You dont need to tweak it, at the same 240w it should be plenty faster than the 12900k. Im probably skipping this gen, dont really see the need right now, but its a decent upgrade over alderlake
There is a MTP increase from 241W to 440W (82.6% increase)
Intel is adding half cores not actual cores, so the situation is a bit different. Also, Intel has to add those cores since like you said, 16p cores would have been hard to tame and yet Intel has to stay competitive with AMD and they do not have ecores. I hope Intel will be competitive enough with all those ecores added.Intel increased power consumption drastically with AL and something tells me with RL it is not going to drop but increase instead. The question remains, how much of an increase over AL.
AMD increased TDP and that is a bit different.
No, intel did not drastically increase power consumption with ald. Actually, intel has drastically increased power consumption for like, 5 years now. 9900k was already boosting to 180w back in 2018, the 9900ks was at 200, the 10900k was at 240w more than 2 years ago.
The only one that did actually increased power draw is amd. Thats a fact
Maybe or Maybe not
Afterall this is just a 'leak'
If Intel put 16 pcores in one CPU it would have been hard to tame for sure. 240watts is literally for 8pcores and 8ecores for the 12900k. with 16pcores, it might have needed more power than a 240w unless Intel would have stopped there.
