Intel's newest flagship CPU is here - and it's a genuine powerhouse
- generational performance was through the roof, blowing Intel’s current 12th-generation chips out of the water.
Yes, Intel’s 13th-gen ‘Raptor Lake’ CPUs have arrived, and now that we’ve tested them we can firmly say that the flagship chip is an absolute demon in almost every department. It’s not as big of a generational leap in performance when compared to the We run an awful lot of tests when reviewing a new CPU: games, synthetic benchmarks, rendering tests, power, and thermal monitoring. We’re not going to show you our horrible, enormous spreadsheets filled with test results, but we will say this. Out of twenty-four averaged test results, the i9-13900K beat the Ryzen 9 7950X in all but six of them.
Another point in Intel’s favor here is that unlike that new Ryzen chip, the 13900K doesn’t require any other new components - provided you’re upgrading from a 12th-gen chip, at least. The 12th generation saw Intel introduce a new CPU socket, LGA-1700, which means that you’ll need a new motherboard if you’re upgrading a PC with an older processor.
