Intel Core i9-13900 (non-K) Spotted with 5.60 GHz Max Boost, Geekbenched

An Intel Core i9-13900 "Raptor Lake" (non-K) processor was spotted in the wild by Benchleaks. The non-K parts are expected to have 65 W Processor Base Power and aggressive power-management, compared to the unlocked i9-13900K, although the core configuration is identical: 8 P-cores, and 16 E-cores. Besides tighter power limits out of the box, and a locked multiplier, the i9-13900 also has lower clocks, with its maximum boost frequency for the P-cores set 5.60 GHz, compared to the 5.80 GHz of the i9-13900K. It’s still a tad higher than the 5.40 GHz of the i7-13700K.

Tested in Geekbench 5.4.5, the i9-13900 scores 2130 points in the single-threaded test, and 20131 points in the multi-threaded one. Wccftech tabulated these scores in comparison to the current-gen flagship i9-12900K. The i9-13900 ends up 10 percent faster than the i9-12900K in the single-threaded test, and 17 percent faster in the multi-threaded. The single-threaded uplift is thanks to the higher IPC of the "Raptor Cove" P-core, and slightly higher boost clock; while the multi-threaded score is helped not just by the higher IPC, but also the addition of 8 more E-cores.
