Intel's Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake CPU benchmarks have leaked out again and it looks like the blue team is going to offer some impressive multi-thread performance gain versus its current Alder Lake CPUs.

The leaked benchmarks come from Chiphell Forum member, Lordzzz, who claims that he is the one who listed the Core i9-13900K Raptor Lake CPU the other day. This is confirmed by the fact that the user posted the unblurred picture of the chip which has the 'Intel Confidential' label and is a 'Q0D8' variant which is for an ES1 sample. The user claims that while the ES1 chips have various problems such as not hitting the required frequency check marks and various compatibility issues, the other ES3 variant is also out in the wild and delivers much better performance. But before that, let's take a quick look at the specifications of the Raptor Lake flagship.
