Intel Core i9-13905H
The Core i9-13905H is a Raptor Lake-H laptop processor launched in Q1 2023, with 6 Performance and 8 Efficient cores (20 threads) boosting to 5.4 GHz. It has a 45 W base power and 115 W maximum turbo power, and uses Iris Xe graphics with 96 execution units. It appears in laptops such as the Asus Zenbook Pro 16X and Lenovo Slim Pro 9i, paired with a discrete GeForce GPU.
Pros
- 14 cores and 20 threads from 6 Performance and 8 Efficient cores
- Performance cores boost up to 5.4 GHz
- In review testing, Cinebench R23 multi-core scored about 20,000 and 20,200 in two laptops
- Supports DDR5-5200, LPDDR5X-6400, DDR4-3200 and LPDDR4X-4267 memory, up to 64 GB
- Iris Xe graphics with 96 execution units at up to 1.5 GHz
Cons
- 115 W maximum turbo power calls for a laptop with strong cooling
- In review testing, Iris Xe graphics with 96 execution units average about 1,500 points in 3DMark Time Spy, so gaming and 3D work call for a discrete GPU
- Built on the Intel 7 process rather than the newer nodes used by Core Ultra chips
