Intel Core i9-13900K pre-production sample was compared to I9

Before the release of Intel 13 generation processors, some time still remains, but the engineering samples of those are already sold in China in full swing. One of these engineers I9-13900K, which is probably preliminary, was tested and compared with I9-12900K in a number of tests.

The tests were carried out in a system with RAM DDR5-6400 and the NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti video card. The 360-mm Frozen Magic 360 was responsible for cooling the processor. The author of the review states that the same-resistant I9-13900K performance is 10% exceeds the predecessor, as well as the novelty up to 35% faster in multi-flow tests.

The only question remains how powerful cooling will be needed for this monster. Under a 360-mm yzy, the tested sample heated up to 100 degrees and began to touch. It is also interesting that PL4 is 420 W, and this is the consumption of the NVIDIA RTX 3090 TI level.
