Intel Announces 13th Gen Processors Core i9 13900K Faster More Cores

Intel (NASDAQ: INTC)has revealed its highly anticipated 13th Generation ‘Raptor Lake’ Processors, which will have up to 24 cores and hit frequencies as high as 6GHz. At the top of the stack is the Core i9-13900K with eight Performance Cores and 16 Efficient Cores, giving 24 cores in total and able to reach up to 5.8GHz. The 6GHz figure will come from a future Core i9-13900KS model, with that number being revealed in other slides during recent presentation slides. The new flagship has eight more cores in total than the Core i9-12900K and beats AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X by the same amount, with both those CPUs only having 16 cores. This should give it a substantial boost to multi-threaded workloads, while other improvements under the hood as well as higher frequencies should mean it’s faster in lightly-threaded workloads and games too. Pricing looks very competitive, with the Core i9-13900K set to sell for $589 (RCP, USD) – over $100 less than AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X, which will cost $699 at launch. Meanwhile, the Core i7-13700K will see a boost up to 16 cores, gaining four more efficient cores over the Core i7-12700K and has a price of $409, which is similar to the Ryzen 7 7700X which has eight cores. The star of the show, at least on paper, seems to be the Core i5 13600K, which has 14 cores – four more than the Core i5-12600K, seeing a doubling of Efficient Cores from four to eight, but the same number – 6 – of Performance Cores. It will have a price of $319, making it a potential mid-range winner. According to Intel, Raptor Lake, which uses its Intel 7 manufacturing process, is built for speed. There’s a full manufacturing node’s performance increase moving from 12th Gen to 13th Gen CPUs with improvements in efficiency, IPC and frequency. There’s a 900MHz faster fabric and more L2 cache for starters compared to 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs, now sitting at 2MB per core plus faster ‘Raptor Cove’ cores add up to 600MHz to the peak boost frequencies. The Efficient Cores, which are the second type of core used in 12th Gen CPUs have changed too. There are, as we’ve already mentioned, up to 16 of them with 4MB L2 cache per cluster on each CPU, which also benefit from much higher frequencies this time around. According to Intel, there’s up to 16 percent performance improvement in some software just from these cache improvements. It’s Thread Director feature – the brains behind dealing with all those threads to optimize performance – has been improved too. Intel has used machine learning techniques to improve the way it works, it’s updated the thread class boundaries to make thread prioritization faster and more efficient and Windows 11’s 22H2 update is one of many that have honed the handling of background services with improvements elsewhere too.
