Leaked benchmark results for Intel's unreleased 13th-gen Core non-K desktop CPUs suggest that they will be much faster than their predecessors. Released last September, Intel's 13th-gen processors come with more cores and insane frequencies compared to their predecessors. The new series includes six different SKUs, led by the Core i9-13900K, which features 24 cores and 32 threads. Intel's new processors were announced a few weeks after AMD unveiled its own Ryzen 7000-series CPUs with four SKUs aimed at the gaming and enthusiast market. They include the Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7700X, and Ryzen 5 7600X.The leaked benchmarks come from well-known tipster Chi11eddog on Twitter, and reveal the performance of five chips in Intel's next-gen lineup in Cinebench R23. They include the Core i9-13900, Core i7-13700, Core i5-13600, Core i5-13500, and Core i5-13400. All these chips are expected to have a default TDP of 65W, which is lower than the 125W TDP of the Core i9-13900K. In terms of the benchmark scores, the Core i9-13900 racked up 2,191 points on the single-core test, making it 10 percent faster than the Core i9-12900, which managed only 1,986 points. In the multi-core test, the Core i9-13900 scored 38,496 points, which is 53 percent faster than the i9-12900.
Intel 13th-Gen CPU Benchmark Scores
While the Core i9-13900 is top dog in this lineup, the best overall result was reserved for the Core i5-13500, which notched up a multi-core score of 21,134, making it a whopping 64 percent faster than the i5-12500 in multi-threaded applications. However, in the single-core test, it only scored 1,866 points, just three percent higher than the Core i5-12500. The least impressive multi-core numbers were of the Core i5-13400, which got 16,288 points in the multi-core test, making it only 28 percent faster than the Core i5-12400.
According to the tipster, the leaked slides are from an unnamed motherboard manufacturer and the chips were tested on the same board with the same memory configuration. However, the exact make and model of the board, as well as the memory specifications, remain a mystery. Also, the numbers are only available for one benchmark, meaning it's not immediately clear if they are indicative of gaming performance. Still, they do suggest that the upcoming chips will be significantly faster in multi-threaded workloads, while single-threaded applications might not see a massive improvement in speed.
Intel is expected to launch its 13th-gen Core non-K desktop CPUs at CES 2023 in Las Vegas early next month. The launch will reportedly happen on Jan. 3 alongside new B760 motherboards. At the same event, the company is also expected to launch the F-series chips without integrated GPU and low-power T-series processors with 35W TDP. In addition, reports suggest that Intel could also announce its 13-gen Core laptop chips at the same event.
