X86 giant's 24-core i9 doubles as a space heater
Intel doubled down on"more power is better" with the launch of its 13th-gen Core processors at its Innovation event this week. With a 253W thermal design power for its latest i9 and i7 desktop processors, water cooling might as well be a requirement.
The company's flagship i9 13900K features 24 cores and 32 threads with at least one of them capable of hitting 5.8GHz. With the extra wattage, additional cores, and architectural improvements introduced in this generation, Intel says the i9 delivers a 15 percent single-core and 41 percent multicore performance improvement compared to last year's 12900K.
These architectural enhancements also extend to Intel's 16-core i7 13700K and 14-core i5 13600K parts, which, in addition to a 200-400MHz max-frequency boost, have seen the number of efficiency cores doubled to eight. In many respects, Intel has shifted its lineup down, with the 13700K bearing more similarities to last year's i9 than the prior i7.: 8P/16E cores, 32 threads, with a max boost clock of 5.8GHz, a TDP of 253W, 68MB of total cache, and UHD 770 graphics.
However, that's not the full story. AMD's chips still feature more performance cores capable of high 5GHz clocks than Intel's.core architecture, with efficiency cores tasked with running the operating system and background tasks, while hyperthreaded performance cores are dedicated to running user workloads or games.
