TECH NEWS – Benchmark results show the Intel Core i9-12900K outperformed by the i9-13900T, while the difference in power consumption between the two chips is significant!

Intel has recently unveiled the T family of its 13th-generation processors. These include the Core i9-13900T with a TDP of only 35W, which has already been tested on Geekbench 5 and has shown impressive results, being a variant of the i9-13900 with a limited TDP design. The standard chips have a TDP of 125W, while the non-K variants consume 65W. Compared to these, 35W sounds good. It’s worth mentioning the unlocked CPU TDP: at that point, it’s 253W, the non-K processors require 219W, while the T requires a maximum of 106W.

The Intel Core i9-13900T has the same core configuration as the big brothers: 8 P cores and 16 E cores with 32 threads. It has a base clock speed of 1.1 GHz and a boost clock speed of 5.3 GHz. 68 MB of L2 and L3 cache, all for $549. That’s lower compared to the K and non-K processors, and we can already see the first test results the processor has produced on an ASUS TUF Gaming B660M-Plus Wi-Fi motherboard with 64 GB of DDR5 memory. The single-core score is 2178 points, and the multi-core score is 17339. This can also be compared to the previous generation Intel Core i9-12900K, which scored 1901 and 17272 points, respectively. So the i9-13900T boasts up to a 15% performance boost in single-core applications and is also a touch faster in multi-core performance. However, the i9-12900K had a base TDP of 125W (3.58 times that of the new processor) and a peak TDP of 241W (2.27 times).

Intel’s 10 nanometer ESF process node and the new hybrid architecture are efficient, and the mobile processors can achieve similar results. The next few months will see Intel’s 13th generation HX products, which could appear in gaming laptops. But AMD is also ready with a similarly efficient solution: its 65W, non-X Ryzen 7000 processors on Zen 4 architecture are also worthy of praise. (But they have enough problems right now…)
