Intel Core i9-13900K 13th Gen Raptor Lake Processor

The upcoming Intel Core i9-13900K will succeed the 12th Gen Core “Alder Lake” flagship Core i9-12900K, with the Raptor Lake-powered CPU now in testing and is as fast as the 12900K during its ES (engineering sample) phase.

We’re looking at a larger 24 cores and 32 threads for the Core i9-13900K, up from the 16 cores and 24 threads on the Core i9-12900K. Ashes of the Singularity isn’t up for the task of differentiating between the physical and logical cores (thanks to Alder Lake, and Raptor Lake having a hybrid architecture with P-cores and E-cores). Intel will be using its in-house Intel 7 process node for its upcoming Core i9-13900K processor, with the latest Raptor Cove and Gracemont Enhanced CPU cores. Not only will there be more cores, but there’ll be up to 68MB of local cache — something AMD is forcing Intel to do. AMD will be launching its new Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor, packing its next-gen 3D V-Cache technology, while Intel will have its “Game Cache” ready for Raptor Lake. 68MB on Intel’s new Raptor Lake CPU, while there’s 96MB on the 3D V-Cache on AMD’s upcoming, and very limited Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor.

As for the Ashes of the Singularity benchmark, an Intel Core i9-13900K processor was used with 32GB of RAM (DDR5 probably) as well as NVIDIA’s current flagship GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card. The Core i9-13900K “ES” processor is offering similar performance to the current Core i9-12900K, which is impressive — as there’s still many months to go before Raptor Lake roars onto the market.
