The road to any announcement is accompanied by leaks, and in the case of new processors it is tests on the main index sites that pop up on the net. The date of the official announcement of the Raptor Lake processors, Intel’s 13th generation Core processors, is not yet known to the public – but this does not prevent the results of tests of the processors on their way to reach, for example, Geekbench.
This time it’s the turn of the Core i7-13700K, a processor that will consist of 8 performance cores alongside 8 efficient cores, and a total of 24 work filaments. According to a test uploaded to Geekbench, in which it was tested using the updated version of the benchmark software Geekbench 5, it scored 2,090 points in the single-core test and 16,542 points in the multi-core test.
It was tested with an ASRock board with the Z690 chipset and 1700 LGA socket, along with 32 GB of DDR4 RAM at 1,800 MHz. The base speed of the processor was specified as 3.39 GHz and during the test it reached a speed of up to 5.28 GHz more or less – results that line up with previous leaks.
Naturally, it did not reach the Core i9-13900K multi-core test, which reached a very impressive 23,701 points, but in the single-core test it reached exactly the same order of magnitude of result, and like its larger friend, it crossed the 2,000 point line that was the old benchmark.
In addition, its multi-core result is very similar to that of AMD’s Ryzen 9 5950X, a 16-core/32-thread processor, but the current AMD competitor’s result for a single core is much lower: 1,685 points. However, we must not forget: AMD is also going to soon announce its next generation, Ryzen 7000 with Zen 4 cores.
