There are new and, above all, comprehensive references to the range of CPUs in Intel's new generation Raptor Lake. Wccftech names the specifications of no less than 14 models. There are also new benchmarks for the flagship Core i9-13900K, but they confuse more than they explain.
The very detailed key data for the Raptor Lake lineup come from an unnamed source, which Wccftech has published as tables. Based on the level of detail and correspondence with other leaks, the information appears plausible, but ultimately remains unconfirmed.
Models and key data for Intel Raptor Lake
The main field will therefore be the Core i9-13900K, Core i9-13900, Core i7-13700K, Core i7-13700, Core i5-13600K and Core i5-13400 models. The 13900s have the most cores and are equipped with 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores. As expected, the Core i9-13900K reaches up to 5.8 GHz on one core and up to 5.5 GHz on all eight P-Cores without any shackles in TVB mode. The 13900 without the “K” clocks 200MHz lower each. Both are equipped with a 32 EU iGPU operating at up to 1.65 GHz.

The maximum clock is 5.4 GHz or 5.2 GHz for one core and 5.3 GHz or 5.1 GHz for all P cores. The Core i5-13600K, on the other hand, only has 6 P cores (max. 5.1 GHz) and 8 E cores. The iGPU in these variants also offers 32 EUs, but clocks a little lower than in the flagships.
The i5-13400 then only has 6 P cores and 4 E cores and with a maximum of 4.6 GHz significantly less clock. The integrated GPU is also limited to 24 units.
Of the six CPU models mentioned, there will still be variants without an iGPU, which are provided with the suffix “F”, such as the Core i7-13700F. Apart from the lack of a graphics unit, these do not appear to differ.
T variants with 32 watts
While the models mentioned are specified with TDP levels of 125 watts (K) and 65 watts (non-K), there are still two variants in the 35 watt class that have the suffix “T” as usual. Like its big brother, the Core i9-13900T offers 8 + 16 cores, but only clocks at a maximum of 4.3 GHz on all eight P-cores, which is at least 1 GHz less than the i9-13900K(F). Similarly, the all-core turbo of the Core i7-13700T at 4.2 GHz is significantly lower than that of the 13700(K)(F). In addition, the base clock of the T models is significantly lower, which is decisive for the TDP classification at Intel.
A mini review on the Core i9-13900K
Meanwhile, the VideoCardz website draws attention to new benchmarks of an engineering sample of the Core i9-13900K, which were published in a video on the Bilibili portal.< /p>
The results draw a comparison with the Core i9-12900K from the current Alder Lake generation, but do not always appear conclusive, since the predecessor performs better in some cases. The fact that Raptor Lake, despite having a higher clock rate in the same manufacturing process, requires considerably less power and stays much cooler, as the video suggests, also seems incredible.
