The Core i7 13700K might raise the standard for gaming computers, according to a recent Intel Raptor Lake CPU-Z test, as it can overclock to 6GHz on all Raptor Cove cores.

According to a recent Intel Raptor Lake test video, the CPU can reportedly be overclocked to reach up to 6GHz across all Raptor Cove cores. The performance sneak look shows it may set an even higher standard for gaming PC performance. There are already good reasons to assume the chip will be more powerful than Alder Lake.

Esperonslaie responded to a Videocardz article emphasising next-gen gaming CPU performance by posting the Intel Raptor Lake benchmark film on Twitter (via Wccftech). The chip shown in the video seems to be a Core i7 13700K, which has eight performance cores and eight efficiency cores with boost frequencies of 5.3GHz and 3.4GHz, respectively.

The Intel Raptor Lake Core i7 13700K can hit 5,999MHz across all cores, scoring 983.3 points in single-core tests and 7,814.7 points in multi-core tests, according to the clip's on-screen CPU-Z statistics. Because of this, the chip may be considered the fastest processor now available, but its clock rates are getting ever-closer to the Core i9 12900KS's current world record for the fastest CPU, which it achieved utilising an absurd cooling system.

The 13th generation CPU, Intel Raptor Lake, is scheduled to debut in October, and its prospects are already promising. As the fastest single-core CPU, as determined by Core i9 sample testing, it should easily succeed Alder Lake.

However, Intel is already making preparations, since Meteor Lake is scheduled to launch in 2023 and compete with AMD Zen 4 CPUs. The Redwood Cove and Crestmont designs will be used in the 14th generation chips, and they'll also include a brand-new quad-die design that enables the corporation to switch out configurations to produce new varieties.
