Intel Raptor Lake processors started selling today, and with it, many technology sites and bloggers published reviews of the new products.\tThe Raptor Lake family differs from the Alder Lake family with an increased number of power-efficient E-core, higher clock speeds, and larger Layer 2 and Layer 3 caches.
Specifically, the Core i9-13900K offers 8 P- and 16 E-core, 3.0-5.8 GHz, 36 Mbytes of L3 cache, 253W MTP and is priced at $589.
The mid-sized Core i7-13700K has 8 P- and E-core each, 3.4-5.4 GHz, 30 Mbytes of L3 cache, MTP 253W and a price of $409.
And the specs of the younger Core i5-13600K look like this: 6P + 8E, 3.5-5.1 GHz, 24 Mbytes L3, MTP 181W and $319.\t\t\t\tWhen getting acquainted with the Raptor Lake, reviewers unanimously noted the high performance of the new products.
In multi-threaded applications, the Core i9-13900K outperforms the Core i9-12900K by 45%, and in gaming its performance is 20% better.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTom's Hardware Tom's Hardware As a result, the Core i9-13900K is about 10-15% faster than the Ryzen 9 7950X and 5-10% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in games.\t\t\t\t\t\tTechPowerUp That said, the Core i9-13900K and Ryzen 9 7950X perform about the same in multi-threaded content creation applications.\t\t\t\t\t\tTechPowerUp At the same time, almost all reviews note that Raptor Lake has significant consumption and high temperatures even when using very powerful cooling systems.
For example, it can consume up to 275W in multi-threaded loads, and up to 320W in stress tests with AVX2.
However, gamers are unlikely to encounter such consumption - the average consumption of the Core i9-13900K in games is about 140W.\t\t\t\t\t\tComputerbase.de In addition, some reviewers have noticed that the Core i9-13900K can be used quite effectively at reduced power consumption and underwinding.
For example, the processor hardly loses any gaming performance when capped at 125W, although it slows down in content creation applications by about 15%.\t\t\t\t\t\tder8auer Computerbase.de The journalists were more impressed than the Core i9-13900K by the inexpensive Core i5-13600K.
It lags behind the Core i9-13900K in games by a few percent and therefore is faster than any AMD processors, including flagship models.
At the same time, its average gaming consumption is only 85W, and peak consumption in resource-intensive applications does not exceed 155W.
Separately, reviewers pointed out that unlike Ryzen 7000, new Intel releases are compatible with old motherboards under LGA 1700 and can run not only with DDR5, but also with DDR4-memory.Detailed reviews of Core i9-13900K and Core i5-13600K can be found at websites: Igor'sLAB, Tom's Hardware, TechPowerUP, Techspot and others.
