One by one, the processors of the Raptor Lake range are presented via multiple leaks while Intel is officially very discreet.
A few days ago, a pre-production model of the Core i9-13900K was revealed through several tests. In the process, it is the Core i5-13600K which was the subject of a leak. Today, the circle is somewhat complete with the first elements around the Core i7-13700K.
A CPU with 16 cores / 24 threads
Once again, it is through the databases of the Geekbench 5 measurement tool that we discover this intermediate model of the Raptor Lake range. Logically, the Core i7-13700K should replace the Core i7-12700K Alder Lake.
To do this, he can count on a total of 16 hearts / 24 threads that we imagine divided into 8 high-performance cores (Raptor Cove) and 8 efficient cores (Gracemont). Remember that the Core i7-12700K was content with an 8+4 configuration. Intel has doubled the number of Gracemont.
On the frequency side, even if these “pre-values” are still subject to caution, Intel seems to have pushed the counters well: indeed, we are talking about a maximum frequency between 5.289 GHz and 5.381 GHz when the Alder Lake model was limited to 5GHz.
In fact, it is not surprising to see this Core i7-13700K ahead of the Core i7-12700K: +10% and +17% on the tests respectively single core and multi core. Our colleagues from Videocardz have published an interesting table on this subject listing the values obtained by the main processors of the moment, whether they are from Intel or AMD.
