Intel thirteenth gen specs revealed in leaked slides, i9-13900K hits 5.8 GHz

The hype is shortly build up for all of the next-gen gaming elements which are about to hit the market later this yr. Each Nvidia and AMD hold teasing reveals for subsequent gen graphics playing cards, AMD has formally proven its hand for the Ryzen 7000 Collection CPUs, and now now we have confidence of what to anticipate from Intel. Other than weeks of corroborating rumors, there at the moment are leaked slides for Intel’s thirteenth gen CPU specs out within the wild.

The leak comes from igor’s lab, lengthy recognized for correct trade sources. The 20 slides look like respectable Intel paperwork, probably distributed early to companions as a part of the product briefing. A few of it’s clearly simply common advertising materials, rehashing applied sciences that have been initially launched with the Alder Lake platform final yr.

The prize information reveals what’s new with thirteenth gen “Raptor Lake” CPUs, and there’s even information on the brand new Z790 chipset that can energy fanatic grade motherboards. Briefly, it’s about what we anticipated and what was mentioned within the leak from final week. Intel’s subsequent spherical of CPUs will carry greater clock speeds, rather more L2 cache, and extra E-cores to the lineup.

Extra to love over Alder Lake

Avid gamers like to see excessive clock speeds, and the i9-13900K ought to try this effectively sufficient. The slide lists the Thermal Velocity Increase most of 5.8 GHz, which exceeds the 12900K by 600 MHz. That’s a noteworthy enchancment that can mirror higher framerates in video games, supplied there’s no thermal throttling. We will additionally see the utmost energy draw will attain 253W, up from 240 over the prior gen. It’s probably the 13900K would require a 360mm liquid cooler to remain cool and really thrive at these frequencies below load.

Moreover, the slide lists DDR5 help as much as 5600, and exhibits that DDR4 3200 help will proceed into the subsequent gen. Those that worth the power to reuse older parts will definitely admire this. Sadly, we’re additionally noting that the PCIe 5.0 help will stay the identical configuration. That can be 16 PCIe 5.0 lanes, plus 4 PCIe 4.0 lanes instantly from the CPU to the first graphics card slot and m.2 slot. AMD presents as much as 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes on the Ryzen 7000 Collection.

Lastly, there seems to be a Z790 chipset coming. It should present extra supplementary PCIe 4.0 lanes except for what the CPU instantly presents. The remainder is comparatively minute for many players. Maybe Intel will no less than produce the Z790 chipset on 10nm versus the 14nm Z690. That might improved efficiency and energy effectivity and allow cheaper cooling options on the motherboards.

Bear in mind this information on thirteenth gen CPU specs continues to be unofficial till Intel formally presents the slides. There was some lacking information in these slides as effectively, and pricing stays a thriller.
