In the last couple of weeks, the main subject coming out of the news has been AMD’s upcoming lineup of products including Mendocino, Ryzen 7000, the zen 4 architecture and their new AM5 platform. And while I dont mind talking about team red, Intel’s upcoming products are also right around the corner, and we got some pretty leaks that just popped up.
So, this information comes from Userbenchmark. An engineering sample of raptor lake’s top-of-the-line CPU has been tested. You can see here that its a 24-core cpu with 32 threads. Specifically, it has 8 performance cores with SMT and 16 Efficient cores. One thing you might notice is how downclocked it is. While the current generation 12900K has an average boost clock of around 5 GHz in this test, what we can assume is the 13900K has an average of around 4.6. So, much lower.
On the overall bench score, this new 24-core cpu seems to be about as fast as the last generation. You can see that on their single and dual-core Normal benchmark it beats the 12900K. If we look at the Quad cores and 8 core segment, it’s slightly under.
Now remember, we’re talking about an engineering sample that is clocked at about 8% lower on average than the previous gen, so this is already pretty good. then , you look at the server section where all 24 cores and 32 threads get stressed and boom. Now you can see the real performance of Raptor lake. Or at least the performance of this engineering sample. It scores a whopping 3924 points compared to the 3249 on the 12900K. A whopping 20% performance increase. Now of course a large chunk of this is due to the 8 extra E cores on the raptor lake CPU, but still. A performance increase is a performance increase. And that’s at the lower average clock speeds of the engineering sample.
