What just happened?<\/strong> Intel has given a demo of the Raptor Lake CPU that it confirmed in September can hit 6GHz straight out of the box. The company said it still can’t reveal the official name of the processor, though we’re pretty certain this will be the Core i9-13900KS. <\/p>\n

Speaking to tech evangelist Alejandro Hoyos, Intel’s Gaming Technical Marketing Lead Jason Xie demonstrated the chip, which can reach its 6GHz speed without needing to be overclocked. He displayed its credentials using a standard, off-the-shelf Corsair all-in-one cooler and an Intel RVP (reference validation platform) motherboard.<\/p>\n

Xie used a 7-Zip benchmark running in the background alongside Intel XTU<\/a> (Extreme Tuning Utility) and HWiNFO<\/a> to show that no tricks were used to reach 6GHz. The chip does manage to reach that clock speed on a couple of threads but can’t sustain it. When Hoyos asks why this might be, Xie says that staying at 6GHz depends on the environment, with influencing factors such as power budget, thermals, the software, and Windows not allocating to the right cores.<\/p>\n

Xie also proved that the CPU offers the same performance when plugged into commercially available consumer motherboards\u2014in this case, an ASUS Z790 mobo\u2014with the same Corsair cooler.<\/p>\n
