New benchmarks of Intel's Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake CPU have appeared, showcasing the compression & decompression performance.

Intel's Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake CPU Delivers Up To 60% Higher Performance Than 12900K In 7-Zip Benchmark

The Intel Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake CPU sample tested here is a retail chip that features 24 cores and 32 threads in an 8 P-Core and 16 E-Core configuration. The CPU is configured at a base clock of 3.0 GHz, a single-core boost clock of 5.8 GHz (1-2) cores, and an all-core boost clock of 5.5 GHz (all 8 P-Cores). The CPU features 68 MB of combined cache and a 125W PL1 rating that goes up to 250W.

The benchmarks posted by OneRaichu were done on a Z690 platform using DDR5-6400 (CL34) memory. In the compression benchmark, the Core i9-13900K scored 171.928 GIPS which is a 19% improvement over the Core i9-12900K with its 144.147 GIPS. On the decompression side, the Core i9-13900K scores 231.184 GIPS which turns out to be a more spectacular 60% jump over the Core i9-12900K's 144.510 GIPS. The leaker also states that the Core i9-13900K can achieve up to 70% of performance in decompression with the right equipment at stock.
