35W Core i7-13700T outperforms Ryzen 7 5800X and Core i5-12600K

First test results have emerged online for the power-efficient 35-watt Core i7-13700T processor, with the new chip proving faster than both the Ryzen 7 5800X and Core i5-12600K.

The Core i7-13700T is built on the Raptor Lake architecture, featuring 16 cores (8 P-cores with Hyper-Threading + 8 E-cores) and 24 threads. This CPU packs 30 MB of shared L3 cache. Its base clock is 1400 MHz, boosting up to 4900 MHz. For a chip with just a 35W TDP, these specifications look incredibly impressive.

In the Geekbench 5 benchmark, the Core i7-13700T's clock speed only hit 4800 MHz, yet it scored a significant 1939 points in the single-threaded test and 11564 in the multi-threaded test:

For comparison, the Ryzen 7 5800X only manages 1670 in single-threaded and 10328 in multi-threaded tests within the same benchmark. The i5-12600K shows slightly stronger numbers at 1856 and 11508 points, nearly matching the new chip. However, considering its significantly higher 125W power consumption, those figures are far less impressive.

Intel's 13th-gen Raptor Lake processors will be officially unveiled very soon — in late September — with a release scheduled for mid-autumn 2022.

It's worth noting: the new CPUs are compatible with all current LGA 1700 motherboards, provided their BIOS is updated to support Intel Raptor Lake.
