The 13th generation Intel Core “Raptor Lake” processors are still a long way off, but one of the first benchmarks seems to have been published.
Intel Core “Raptor Lake”, the first benchmark is below the i9-12900K
Leaker Komachi_Ensaka has unearthed the first benchmark of Intel’s Raptor Lake processors. These are early samples that don’t seem to be polished at all.
A mysterious Raptor Lake generation processor has been discovered in BAPCo’s Crossmark software with the name “Genuine Intel 0000”, but the exact model is still unknown. However, the processor is equipped with 24 cores and 32 threads, so it could be a top chip.
Although unconfirmed, Intel has reportedly doubled the number of efficiency cores with Raptor Lake in its flagship, moving from the Alder Lake configuration of 8 P-core + 8 E-core to 8 P-core + 16 E-core.
The benchmark published in the Crossmark tool was deleted shortly after it was published, which confirms the accuracy of these results and shows that Intel does not want them to be published. This is completely normal considering that the series is far from being announced.
The sample would be an early technical sample and therefore not very well optimized, as you can see from the performance results.
In the performance benchmark, the Core i9-12900K delivered up to 49.3% more performance than the Raptor Lake CPU. The Ryzen 9 5950X outperformed Raptor Lake by 6.5%.
Raptor Lake is expected to be released in late 2022 and will use the same LGA 1700 socket. Intel expects these processors to consume 25% less power than Alder Lake.
