It looks like we literally have all the benchmarks leaked for Intel’s upcoming 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs, even the gaming performance numbers which have now been published by ExtremePlayer. The leaker has now published the gaming numbers for Intel’s Core i7-13700K and Core i5-13600K CPUs.
Intel Core i7-13700K & Core i5-13600K Raptor Lake CPU Gaming Benchmarks Leaked, Big Cache Brings Double-Digit Improvement To Minimum Framerate
ExtremePlayer brought to us the synthetic workload performance of Intel’s top-three K-Series Raptor Lake SKUs, the Core i9-13900K, the Core i7-13700K, and the Core i5-13600K. The leaker published the gaming benchmarks of the top Core i9-13900K CPU too. Now, we have gaming benchmarks of the Core i7-13700K and Core i5-13600K (QS SKUs) to feast our eyes upon.
As noted in the previous leaks, the Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs will consume more power and run hotter than Alder Lake though how they behave in games and what sort of efficiency they have to offer remains to be seen until proper benchmarks come out later this year.
Intel Core i7-13700K 16 Core Raptor Lake CPU Specs
The Intel Core i7-13700K CPU will be the fastest 13th Gen Core i7 chip on offer within the Raptor Lake CPU lineup. The chip features a total of 16 cores and 24 threads. This configuration is made possible with 8 P-Cores based on the Raptor Cove architecture and 8 E-Cores based on the Grace Mont core architecture. The CPU comes with 30 MB of L3 cache and 24 MB of L2 cache for a total combined 54 MB cache. The chip was running at a base clock of 3.4 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The all-core boost is rated at 5.3 GHz for the P-Cores while the E-Cores feature a base clock of 3.4 GHz and a boost clock of 4.3 GHz.
- Core i7-13700K 8+8 (16/24) – 3.4 / 5.3 GHz – 54 MB Cache, 125W (PL1) / 244W (PL2)?
- Core i7-12700K 8+4 (12/20) – 3.6 / 5.0 GHz, 25MB Cache, 125W (PL1) / 190W (PL2)
Intel Core i5-13600K 14 Core Raptor Lake CPU Specs
The Intel Core i5-13600K features a total of 14 cores which include 6 P-Cores based on the Raptor Cove and 8 E-Cores based on current Gracemont cores. That’s the same P-Core count as the Intel Core i5-12600K but the E-Core count has been doubled. So we are looking at a 40% core count bump and a 25% thread count bump vs the Alder Lake Core i5-12600K. The CPU comes with 24 MB of L3 and 20 MB of L2 cache for a combined total of 44 MB cache. Clock speeds are set at 3.5 GHz base, 5.2 GHz boost, and 5.1 GHz all-core boost while the E-Cores operate at 3.5 GHz base & 3.9 GHz boost clocks.
- Core i5-13600K 6+8 (14/20) – 3.5 / 5.1 GHz – 44 MB Cache, 125W (PL1) /180W (PL2)?
- Core i5-12600K 6+4 (10/16) – 3.6 / 4.9 GHz – 20MB Cache, 125W (PL1) / 150W (PL2)
