Recently, APISAK on Twitter shared another benchmark for an Intel CPU. At first, it may look like an i5 from Raptor Lake featuring 8 cores, but on further investigation this is the i9-13900 (Non-K). I believe that most of the cores / threads have been disabled. The 8 core handicapped 13900 is 17% faster than the R5 7600X in overall testing. Although, the 1-core test still has AMD in lead. We’re uncertain about the authenticity of both these benchmarks.

i9-13900K (5.5GHz + 4.3GHz) = 879.7 pointsi9-13900K (5.5Ghz + ?GHz) = 893 pointsi9-13900K (6.1GHz + ?GHz) = 976 points i9-13900K (6.1GHz + No E Cores) = 1000+ pointsi7-13700K (5.8GHz + 3.7GHz) = 947 pointsi7-13700K (6.1GHz + No E Cores) = 983 pointsi7-13700K (6.18GHz + 4.18GHz) = 1010 points 

The i9-13900K breached into the 40,000 point territory in Cinebench R23 a while back. These CPUs are planned for announcement on the 27-28th of September at Intel’s Innovation event. Surprisingly, AMD is also considering announcing their Zen4 CPUs at the same date(s).
