Raptor Lake leaks show it could be disappointing

Underwhelming

Leaks of Intel’s Raptor Lake processors are looking rather underwhelming.

There were some high hopes for Raptor Lake after some game benchmarks, and a hefty overclock to 6GHz for the Core i7-13700K made it look rather good..

Now some more tests are out and it appears that the chip might not be the cure for cancer that users expected.

At Full HD, the 13700K only witnessed gains of around 6-7 per cent in average frame rates across a selection of games (including Apex Legends, Far Cry 6, and Red Dead Redemption 2) compared to its Alder Lake predecessor. The 13600K sample was better with a jump of around 10-11 per cent when pitted against the 12600K. A 10% uptick in games at this stage, given that Raptor Lake is just a simple refresh of Alder Lake but the rest is a bit of a yawn.

Gains at 1440p were more modest for both Raptor Lake processors at 4-5 per dent, and at 4K there were improvements of 2-4 per cent. Even worse, GPU bottlenecking at 4K meaning there was no difference between the 12th and 13th-gen CPUs with some games.
