![]() Modern processors almost always operate over their base clock speeds when under load, usually running closer to their max turbo speeds. It's interesting to note that the new CPU's base clocks are slightly lower than its predecessor's, but realistically this doesn't mean much. That will certainly help the Core i7-13700K in our upcoming benchmarks, especially the single-threaded tests. The Efficient cores get a similar 400MHz hike, with the E-Cores clocked at 4.2GHz versus 3.8GHz for the Core i7-12700K's. The Core i7-13700K's Performance cores have a max turbo speed of 5.4GHz, versus 5.0GHz for the Core i7-12700K. That's not to say the increase in clock speed is chopped liver. Intel did change a few more things under the hood with Raptor Lake, boosting the overall amount of cache and pushing clock speeds a bit higher, but the increased core count is by far the most significant difference. The previous-generation Intel Core i7-12700K shipped with eight P-Cores and four E-Cores, while the Core i7-13700K steps up to eight apiece. In other words, we're still looking at Performance cores and Efficient cores we just have more of them now. This worked so well for Intel that with Raptor Lake, the company essentially opted for more of the same, boosting the number of cores in the split-level configuration. The latter was a revolutionary design with the introduction of a new multicore approach that mixed high-performance P-Cores and high-efficiency E-Cores in a configuration akin to ARM's "big.Little" design philosophy. Intel's 13th Generation "Raptor Lake" architecture doesn't differ significantly from its 12th Gen "Alder Lake" platform. Design: Meet the First Core i7 With 16 Cores While it's not the absolute fastest mainstream desktop chip, and certainly not the cheapest, it occupies a value high point in the silicon market-one that AMD is struggling to counter-earning it our Editors' Choice award for enthusiast desktop processors. This often makes them highly recommendable within a given processor generation, and this is exactly where we find ourselves with the Core i7-13700K ($419). Though they don't have quite as much multithreaded processing power, Core i7 CPUs pack some serious punch at lower prices than their Core i9 cousins. Ultimately, however, we do recommend waiting for benchmarks and official reviews before fully committing to a purchasing decision.While status seekers crave the Core i9, Intel's Core i7 processors are often the best values among Team Blue's desktop chips. ![]() Intel is rumored to be planning a price cut to improve the viability of their 9th generation CPUs, but since Intel is still in the midst of a shortage it doesn’t exactly make much sense for a price cut to be implemented. With the 36X coming in at $200 and $250 respectively, it’s hard to see how the 8700K and 9700K at $350 and $375 respectively will be able to compete. It’s hard to tell whether or not Ryzen 3000 will be this competitive in other workloads (like gaming), however, especially since Zen 2 is even better than previous Zen iterations for rendering. Now, it is hard to tell whether or not the Baidu leak’s 3600 is boosting higher than what we should expect (perhaps due to PBO or high end cooling it’s at least not overclocked since Cinebench is reporting the stock speed of 3.6 GHz) or if Videocardz’s leak was just a poor performer, but either way we can probably expect the 3600 or the 3600X to compete with the i7 CPUs in this sort of workload. The CPU Z information the Baidu leaker revealed is mostly identical to Videocardz’s except for a few things: the Baidu leak is missing socket and TDP info and the CPU is an earlier revision compared to Videocardz’s leak.Īssuming this information is all true and accurate (and it likely is), this particular 3600 is as fast as the i7-8700K in single threaded performance and faster than the i7-9700K in multithreaded performance. That multithreaded score is about 9% higher than what Videocardz leaked, but that is likely down to a difference in clock speeds between the two set ups. In Cinebench R15, the Baidu leaked 3600 scored 1569 on the multithreaded test and 197 on the single threaded test. It’s likely both of these leaks are accurate. In fact, Videocardz also leaked similar information just a few days ago, and the Baidu leak correlates very closely. Though this leak isn’t coming from the likes of Videocardz or Apisak, it does seem legitimate. A user on the Chinese-based Baidu forums has leaked Cinebench R15 benchmarks (and some CPU Z info) of what is apparently a Ryzen 5 3600.
