The most recent Intel Core i9-13900KS 6 GHz Raptor Lake CPU benchmarks have leaked, revealing up to a 15% gain over the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. The flagship Raptor Lake CPU will be the Intel Core i9-13900KS, which will have 24 cores and 32 threads in an 8 P-Core and 16 E-Core configuration.
The 13900KS CPU has a ‘Thermal Velocity Boost’ frequency of up to 6 GHz, making it the first chip to do so out of the box. The CPU has a ‘Turbo Boost Max’ frequency of up to 5.8 GHz, while the P-Cores have a regular turbo frequency of up to 5.4 GHz and the E-Cores have a turbo frequency of up to 4.3 GHz.
The Intel Core i9-13900KS CPU will have 68 MB of combined cache and a 150W PL1 rating that may be increased to 253W or even higher using the extreme power profile options.
In terms of single-threaded performance, the Intel Core i9-13900KS CPU outperforms the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X by 15% and the Core i9-13900K by 5%. In multi-threaded tests, the CPU performs 8% better than the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and 3% better than the Core i9-13900K. This is not a substantial improvement over the Core i9-13900K, but the gold silicon will make it an appealing CPU for severe overclockers and enthusiasts.
The Core i9-13900KS, on the other hand, will cost a premium of $100 to $200 US over the Core i9-13900K while consuming significantly more power. However, because of this, the chip will have a limited production run and will not be available in the same quantities as ordinary Core i9-13900K CPUs. The CPU is set to be released on January 12th of next year.
