Intel 13th Gen Non-K CPUs Benchmarked: Up to 64% Faster Than 12th Gen

According to chi11eddog on Twitter, leaked benchmarks for Intel 13th gen Raptor Lake non-K CPUs show a massive leap in performance over their 12th gen predecessors, which consolidates what we have seen before in previous leaks.

The previous leaked benchmarks showed only results for the Core i5-13500ES and Core i5-13400ES, but this time the leaked benchmarks show results for the Core i9-13900, Core i7-13700, and Core i5-13600 as well. These processors were benchmarked using Cinebench R23 single and multi-core render test, however, there was no mention of the testbed configuration.

In terms of single-core performance, the 13th gen shows a modest yet expected increase in performance over the 12th gen processors, with the Core i9-13900 showing the biggest improvement being 10% faster than the Core i9-12900.

When it comes to the multi-core test though, this is where the 13th gen really shines, courtesy of having additional efficiency cores compared to the previous 12th gen, with the Core i5-13500 showing the biggest overall jump in performance being a whopping 64% faster than the predecessor Core i5-12500.

The leaked benchmarks does not make any mentions or specify whether the tested CPUs were engineering samples or the finalized retail product. The non-K CPUs have a lower default TDP of 65W compared to their K counterparts, and are launching on January 3rd, alongside the new mid-range B760 motherboards.
