As Intel’s new generation processors begin to emerge, their performance is also a matter of great curiosity. Just days before its launch, Expreview has subjected its 13th generation Intel Raptor Lake processor to performance testing.
Intel Raptor Lake faces its predecessor
Intel’s new 13th generation processor is capped at a maximum of 3.8 GHz. That’s why Expreview tested the new processor against the Core i9-12900K for a fair comparison. It was announced that both processors were put to the test with the Z690 motherboard, 32 GB DDR5 5200 MHz memory and GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition graphics card.
The results revealed that the 13th generation Raptor Lake processor is on average 20 percent faster than the 12th generation. It is thought that the extra 8 savings-centered E-Core cores of the new generation processor have an important role in this performance increase.
The 13th generation Raptor Lake ES CPU also performed up to 51.5 percent better in the sensitivity test than the old processor. In most of the tests, it was observed that the 13th generation processor was 15 to 25 percent more successful.
However, in some areas, such as Pov-Ray and Cinebench, the 12th generation processor manages to surpass its successor. In this sense, Alder Lake has surpassed Raptor Lake by 10 percent or more at some points.
The fact that the tested sample of the 13th generation Raptor Lake is limited may be a disadvantage for the processor in this regard. As proof of this, we can show that the 12th generation processor is more successful in most of the game tests.
However, let us remind you that it is early to talk about Intel’s new processor. We know Raptor Lake will improve in many ways before it launches in October. Especially the fact that it is limited to 3.8 GHz prevents the new processor from showing its full performance.
It is useful to see the actual samples to see the real performance of the processor. So what do you think about Intel’s 13th generation processors? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
