More-core Intel Core i7-13700 makes underwhelming first appearance on PassMark with +10% performance gains over the i7-12700

[Redaktion]

The Raptor Lake Intel Core i7-13700 has made a surprising first appearance on PassMark, with the hybrid chip performing solidly if somewhat underwhelmingly in single-thread testing and in the CPU Mark test suite. The measured performance gains over the i7-12700 are only satisfactory, with more cores available to tempt buyers.

Too early to draw any conclusions.

Seems like it is using less power than it eventually will. The 12700 takes a big hit to base clocks, but while being a 65W chip, it has a TDP Up of 180W.

Typical intel. How beautiful it is when an 8-core processor is merged with a 16-core processor... :-D

AMD Ryzen 9 5900 (65W) - 34,639

And unlike Intel, 65W actually means something (I think PPT is 88W), not the 65W=202W PL2 12900 has


PS: Notebookcheck seems to be on a bender of cluelessness, comparing SKUs based on naming schemes instead of pricing brackets and power envelopes.

Underwhelming? Intel already stated that RPL would be, at most, 10% faster than ADL. So this is within expectations.

So just last week you guys were relaying "articles" in how RL was destroying Zen 4 chips in benchmarks, and now this.

You guys might want to give a shot at some sort of coherence.
