The Intel 35W Core i7-13700T Raptor Lake processor is faster than the 105W Ryzen 7 5800X and 125W Core i5-12600K in the leaked benchmark

New Intel Core i7-13700T SKUs, a 35W Raptor Lake processor, have been leaked and show impressive performance.

The 13th Gen Intel Raptor Lake processors will be available in three flavors, K-series, non-K-series and T-series. K-series are unlocked designs with TDPs ranging from 125W (PL1) to 253W (PL2 ). Then there are the non-K parts which are TDPs ranging from 65W (PL1) and up to 200W (PL2). Finally, there are the T-Series SKUs which are optimized for low-power devices and feature a base TDP of 35W (PL1) and a maximum TDP of around 100W (PL2). The leaked sample we were able to see today is also a T-series part known as the Intel Core i7-13700T.

The Intel Core i7-13700T processor, which was discovered by Bench leaks in various Geekbench 5 listings, shares the same basic configuration as the other two Core i7-13700 SKUs. The differences are in the clock speeds. The processor comes with 16 cores (8 P-Cores + 8 E-Cores) and 24 threads. There’s 30MB of L3 cache, a base clock speed of 1.40 GHz, and a boosted clock speed of up to 4.90 GHz.

In terms of performance, the CPU scored 1939 points in single-core and 11,564 points in multi-core test within Geekbench 5. This means that the CPU is already on par with the stock Core i9-12900K in single-core loads. In multi-core loads, the processor finds itself 11% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X and on par with the Core i5-12600K. Additionally, the processor was running on a DDR4 platform, which will be a big advantage for low-power consumers, since DDR5 motherboards cost more and can also consume more power. Here are the results :

It’s a very nice showcase for the 35W part and even if the chip ends up with a PL2 max TDP of 106W (same as the 12900T), the CPU will still be ahead of the Ryzen 7 5800X which has a maximum package power of 142W and also the 12600K which has a PL2 rating of 150W.

Intel’s 13th Gen Raptor Lake Desktop processors, including the flagship Core i9-13900K, are scheduled to launch in October on the Z790 platform. The processors will be matched against AMD’s Ryzen 7000 line of processors, which will also launch in fall 2022. Early Raptor Lake SKUs will only include K-series chips with non-K processors expected to launch shortly after those with consumer motherboards.
