The upcoming spearhead in the portfolio of the Core i 13000 series (“Intel Raptor Lake”), the Intel Core i9-13900K with a total of 24 cores and 32 threads, is in the form of a Development sample processor (“Engineering Sample”) appeared in the database of the Geekbench 5 benchmark and documented with up to 5.5 GHz.

Core i9-13900K ES again in Geekbench 5

In July, the first results of an Intel Core i9-13900K ES with 5.7 GHz made the rounds on the internet, but due to some Discrepancies have been declared invalid (“invalid”) by the creators of the benchmark. These discrepancies can be due to an early beta BIOS or to other parameters that influence the result and can therefore invalidate the result of the benchmark.

Valid result with 5.5 GHz and DDR5-6600

The results that have now appeared, the a Core i9-13900K with 5.5 GHz and DDR5 and 6,600 MT/s attest a single-core score of 2,147 and a multi-core score of 23,982 points, but were officially classified as valid and in added to the database.

In the benchmark, the CPU clocked at 5.35 to 5.5 GHz in Turbo and thus beats an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (test) based on Zen 3 by around 24 percent in the single-core test and by around 123 percent in the multi-core test. Score test as first identified by Twitter user @BenchLeaks, known for posts of this nature.

The significantly higher “Core Count” is particularly noticeable in the multi-core test compared to the direct predecessor, the Intel Core i9 -12900K (test) with a total of 16 cores (8P+8E), then also very noticeable.

16 efficiency cores help in multi-core scenarios

The desktop processors of type Raptor Lake uses a hybrid structure with a total of 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores in the top model and can therefore access up to 32 threads, while Alder Lake offers a maximum of 24 threads.
