Core i9 13900HK laptop processor was seen again on Geekbench

The Core i9 13900HK laptop processor as Intel’s flagship laptop processor has reappeared on the Geekbench database after two months. The processor, whose performance results have been uploaded in the Geekbench 5 benchmark along with the initial specifications, has been spotted on the same Samsung device as seen before.

The Core i9 13900HK is a 14-core, 12-thread processor that can reach a boost frequency of 5.3 to 5.4 GHz. In fact, this processor is about 400 MHz faster than its predecessor, the Core i9 12900HK processor with a maximum frequency of 5.0 GHz.

Core i9 13900HK processor – Alder Lake platform?!

The higher boost frequency gives this processor a series of key advantages. Unlike the desktop Raptor Lake processors, the 13900HK does not have a larger L2 cache and may use an improved Alder Lake-P silicon. Of course, it is still too early to judge this issue.

The Core i9 13900HK processor managed to score 1870 points in Geekbench V5 single-core test, which is about 3% higher than its previous score. The multi-core score of this processor has also reached 12436 with a 5% increase compared to the previous test. This processor still can’t beat the high-end 12th generation laptop processors, especially their HK and HX versions.

Unfortunately, none of the 12th generation Alder Lake-H processors have been officially listed on Geekbench and there is not enough data to make a direct comparison, but the Videocardz site has collected a series of unofficial results and analyzed them in the chart below. Since almost all of Intel’s high-end laptop CPUs have 14 cores or more, the scores on this list are very close—to the point where the CPU performance difference is practically within “test error” and the CPUs perform virtually identically.

It’s still possible that a new Raptor Lake platform processor with all 16 active E cores will be released for laptops. Using such a platform will definitely improve the multi-core performance of the processor, but at the moment there is generally no significant difference between 12th and 13th generation laptop processors.
