Intel Preps Two thirteenth Gen Raptor Lake Black Version CPUs

Intel’s thirteenth Era Raptor Lake household, which has a number of members among the many greatest CPUS, will quickly welcome two new members. Sadly, the Core i5-13490F and Core i7-13790F will not be out there within the U.S. market. Each chips have already emerged in Intel documents (opens in new tab); nonetheless, they have not discovered their method into Intel’s ARK database, so their launch date continues to be up within the air.
With Alder Lake, Intel launched the Core i5-12490F, a “Black Version” gaming processor unique to the Chinese language market. The Core i5-13490F is the direct successor to the Core i5-12490F, whereas the Core i7-13790F is a brand new addition since a Core i7-12790F has by no means existed. Nonetheless, just like the Core i5-12490F, the Core i5-13490F and Core i7-13790F are seemingly “Black Version” chips as a result of they arrive in black containers versus the everyday blue Intel field, and Intel does not embody a inventory cooler. Moreover, being F-series chips, the Core i5-13490F and Core i7-13790F lack built-in graphics, so pairing them with a discrete graphics card is a should.
The Core i5-12490F was only a means for Intel to maximise income from its silicon manufacturing. To make an extended story quick, the chipmaker produced two dies for Alder Lake: C0 (8P+8E) and H0 (6P+0E). Intel makes use of the primary for the high-tier chips, together with the Core i9 and Core i7 SKUs, and the latter for low-tier chips, just like the Core i5 and Core i3 SKUs. Nonetheless, the decrease tier SKUs take pleasure in utilizing both silicon, permitting the chipmaker to repurpose C0 dies that do not meet the requirements for the upper tier into the decrease tier. So it is very believable that the Core i5-13490F and Core i7-13790F are merchandise of Intel’s recycling efforts.

*Specs are unconfirmed.
Twitter consumer wxnod (opens in new tab) has shared the alleged specs for the Core i5-13490F, which seems to reach with a big improve. In accordance with the leaked CPU-Z screenshot, the Core i5-13490F has a 10-core, 16-thread configuration. It is the identical configuration because the common Core i5-13400F, which has confirmed to supply related efficiency to the final era’s Core i5-12600K.
The Core i5-13490F wields six P-cores and 4 E-cores, so probably the most vital distinction between it and its predecessor is the 4 extra E-cores. As well as, the CPU-Z screenshot confirmed the chip with a 4.8 GHz enhance clock, which corresponds to the P-cores. It is a 200 MHz enchancment over the Core i5-12490F and Core i5-13400F.
The Core i5-12490F had extra L3 cache than the Core i5-12400F. It is the identical pattern with the Core i5-13490F and Core i5-13400F, though the improve is barely increased. The Core i5-12490F sports activities 2MB greater than the Core i5-12400F. Nonetheless, the Core i5-13490F’s L3 cache is 4MB greater than the Core i5-12490F, placing it on the equal floor because the Core i7-13700F.
Since they do not belong to the Okay-series tier, the Core i5-13490F and Core i7-13790F have a 65W PBP. The MTP is unknown, although. Nonetheless, the earlier Core i5-12490F and Core i5-12400F have the identical 117W MTP, so it isn’t unreasonable to suppose that the Core i5-13490F may share the identical 148W MTP because the Core i5-13400F.
The Core i5-13490F scored 779.7 factors on the single-core take a look at and 6,834.5 factors on the multi-core take a look at. For comparability, the Core i5-13400F (through NotebookCheck (opens in new tab)) put 729.1 factors and 6540 factors on the single-and multi-core assessments, respectively. Which means the Core i5-13490F delivered 6.9% increased single-core efficiency and 4.5$ multi-core efficiency than the Core i5-13400F.
Alternatively, the Core i5-12490F has a single-core rating of 700 factors and a multi-core rating of 4,653 factors. In consequence, the Core i5-13490F outperformed the Core i5-12490F by 11.4% in single-core efficiency. As well as, the Core i5-13490F was as much as 46.9% quicker when it comes to multi-core efficiency.
The Core i5-13490F’s leaked outcomes are from a retail chip, suggesting that the Core i5-13490F and Core i7-13790F could already be at retailers, in China no less than. In the meantime, we’ve not seen any info on the Core i7-13790F, however the chip must be much like the Core i7-13700F.
