Intel Core i7-13700K Raptor Lake-S CPU Runs Geekbench

[AleksandarK]

With Intel Raptor Lake-S desktop processors around the corner, we see an ever-increasing number of entries to the popular synthetic benchmark databases. Yesterday we had an Intel Core i5-3600K CPU, while today, we are presented with Core i7-13700K SKU. The new 13th generation Core i7-13700K CPU features eight P-cores and eight E-cores. Compared to the 12th generation Core i7-12700K, this is a step up with eight P-cores and four E-cores. According to Geekbench 5 benchmark, the new Qualification Sample (QS) of Core i7-13700K CPU was running at the minimum clock of 5.289 GHz, maximum clock of 5.381 GHz, and average speed of 5.36 GHz. It was tested on the same configuration as yesterday's i5 SKU with ASRock Z690 Steel Legend WiFi 6E motherboard with 32 GB of DDR4 memory.

As far as the results are concerned, the 13th gen i7-13700K SKU scored 2090 points in the single-core test, while the multi-core score totaled 16542 points. If we compare this to the 12th gen i7-12700K CPU that it replaces, the new model leads by about 10% and 17% in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.

Actually 13700k should be compared also to 12900k, it’s the same configuration after all. Despite reaching slightly higher clocks, the MT score is lower than 12900k. I guess we have to wait for the final chip to see if Raptor Lake will achieve some real IPC uplift, not just gains from higher clocks and more cache.

Hmm, from i7 12700K this i7 13700K would be my possible next upgrade, oh well it's just Geekbench...

Waiting for actual release and more benchmarks/gaming results.

Intel is adopting AMD's old strategy of increasing core count and clock speeds to remain competitive. Performance increase looks slim.

 

[Hervon]

If Geekbench 5 scores are confirmed, it would mean a 50 % ST / 90% MT from my still performing 9900KS. Might be a good reason to upgrade and give the old one to the son. Won't make a move before AMD performances are known though!

In geekbench --which is not a great benchmark. According to GB my i5 is as fast as a 5950x (it's not).

The increase in cache is going to make a difference in the real world and especially in games.

It's not a great benchmark, but it is the one that has been posted repeatedly, so far.

Also, from what I can see, the main gains Intel is having, is by increasing core-count (which multi-core heavy workloads will benefit from - i.e. Cinebench, etc.), increased cache (which mainly games benefit from) and frequency.

The architectural IPC improvement is probably slim or non-existent, plus there's no die-shrink. I wonder what kind of a cooler is it going to take to cool the 13900K, since the 12900KS is a power hog and very difficult to cool properly without elaborate and costly solutions.

 

[fancucker]

Honestly very promising. The IPC improvements already make those presented by AMD for Zen 4 obsolete. Plus it doesn't suffer from the notorious framerate inconsistency issues that AMD has, doesn't require fiddling with AGESA versions for stability, and is architecturally the way forward in terms of consumer value. Its looking bleak for AMD.

Well even with 14nm the difference between the refined process and the OG 14nm one was huge, so if this is a 10nm++++ situation, then maybe -- also they seem to be hitting 5.8-6ghz clocks on P core boost so I think power wise, counter-intuitively, it will be no worse than the 12900k, if not a bit better.

Plus what I notice about these chips is for everyday tasks they're amazing on power:
This is after 1 day of work, gaming, and running random benchies on a 12600K @ 5.2Ghz 1.25v

Yeah it will light up and pull 180W at full tilt on Cinebench or prime, but IRL it's ridiculously cool and efficient.

Also 12900k has a large efficiency curve to work with all core load - it loses about 2% between 240W and 190W, there's potential for them to make the 13700/13900 very efficient chips.

My 12700k is the same, great, runs cool for everyday use, but sucks it and runs hot running R23 or prime, both of which i have run once, so mean nothing to me. Problem is, that is all the AMD crowd can focus on. Not the fact they run great and cool for gaming or everyday tasks, while not using much power or getting very hot.

Except that if heating is the same as 12900k, then you can expect your cpu to never perform as advertised because it will overheat without a BEEFY cooling solution.

in performance mode even with an NHD15 it will overheat and throttle, 240/280mm rad aren't enough, so are several 360 that... so unless you want to run a pretty much mandatory 360/420, or be in throttle... yeah sure go intel.

even the beefiest AMD CPU does not overheat like intel CPU. it's getting silly

 

[Fasola]

Is Geekbench just fuel for the perpetual hype trains seeing as everybody seems to consider it a poor indicator of real-world performance?

12900K scores higher? same core count

 

[bonehead123]

All hype & speculation but no real product in his hands makes johnny a very mad boy

'nuff said

Read the two posts above your nonsense, you might learn something, but I doubt it as it's the usual crap about ADL over heating.

I'm guessing you are another AMD user that has never had hands on with ADL.

 

[Mistral]

It's great to get numbers from such a reputable and representative tool as Geekbench...

What IPC improvements? None of the leaked benchmarks showed anything noticeable, some even showed slight (<1%) regression compared to ADL. Any ST performance uplift came from increased clock speed.

 

[Mussels]

Big jumps in ST, i hope these results apply to other workloads too

 

[Dirt Chip]

Probably my next CPU, minus the K.
i5-2400 to i7-13700 will see a nice bump

When people complain that AMD runs "hot" or warm too, well, it's exactly doing as advertised with Precision boost overdrive. It takes the temperature in account to put the best possible clock, for you.

So as long as it's below 90 degrees, your CPU will boost and take the extra thermal headroom into account to give you automaticly, the best performance for your given workload.

Thats AMD.

So you say that the normal way to use Alder Lake is for light tasks and no serious load that will melt your socket. Why you get 12700k instead 12600k? The difference in the fps is 1%, when you get a high end processor you do it to use it, not to talk nonsense about how it was a very cool and efficient when you can't even load it because you are using 30-40% of its potential

Oh hell yeah, you'll love that level of upgrade

Just watch out for the drastically higher wattages and temps of modern hardware - it's really jarring at a psychological level when modern hardwares 'normal' temperatures are above the danger zone for old hardware

I've tried that discussion with Tigger and got nowhere
The moment he upgrades his GPU, all his claims go out the window - his system only runs so nicely because he's barely using it.
he could run an i3 or a 5600x and get the exact same performance, but instead he focuses on that one situation of "If you use an old GPU with this CPU, it runs cold!"

Tigger was given that cpu as in it didn't cost him anything.

Why get any high end CPU then?

Do you think i sit there running R23 or prime all day. i did not say the normal way to use it, i said if you use it for normal tasks, there is a difference. What really heavy tasks are going to push any CPU like prime or R23 do?

but instead he focuses on that one situation of "If you use an old GPU with this CPU, it runs cold!"

I am using this GPU as it is all i can afford at this time, how hard is it to grasp that? If or when i upgrade my GPU we will see, but it is odd how there are ADL users on TPU with similar CPU and much better GPU's than me that are showing similar power user from the CPU gaming. I never said "If you use an old GPU with this CPU, it runs cold!" that is just how my system runs. You are making out as if i am saying that running a old GPU the CPU runs cool. I am running a as you say old GPU as it is ALL I HAVE, you send me a better GPU and we will see how my CPU runs gaming.

I've tried that discussion with Tigger and got nowhere

Then don't have the discussion, until i change my GPU and can show the same CPU behaviour.

Tigger was given that cpu as in it didn't cost him anything.

There are lots of brick walls on TPU i wonder why i bother trying to talk to them someetimes

Maybe content creation, maybe code compilation, maybe encoding/decoding, maybe another job this CPU is made for? As I said, if you going to do only "normal tasks" 12600k will do the same job in the same way. Also Cinebench if you don't know is a benchmark made from on Cinema4D, a software used to render and create 2D and 3D models(content creation)
