Intel's next-gen CPUs appear to offer a huge performance boost over the current generation.
Performance was obtained using an engineering sample of the chip, but at this point, we'd expect that to be pretty much in line with the final released silicon. They've tested using an Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Extreme motherboard along with 32GB of T-Force Delta RGB DDR5-6400 memory.
The Core i9 13900K appears to have a couple of aces up its sleeve in comparison to the Core i9 12900KF used for comparison. The first is that has double the E-core count of its predecessor, with an 8P + 16E configuration as opposed to the existing 8P + 8E setup. That means you're looking at a total of 32 threads versus the 24 of today. The core speed of those performance cores is also significantly increased at 5.5GHz as opposed to 5.1GHz.
In straight single-core testing, this means you're looking at a 10% or so improvement over the current chip, which makes sense given that 400MHz frequency delta. Another way of looking at this is that at the same frequency the new Raptor Lake designs look to be on a par with existing Alder Lake chips in single-threaded benchmarks.
