About the Intel Core i9-13900H CPU

The Intel Core i9-13900H is a 14-core (20-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2023 with a suggested retail price of $617. It is part of Intel's Core i9 lineup, which is based on the Raptor Lake-H microarchitecture. The i9-13900H is compatible with Intel BGA 1744 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the Iris Xe Graphics 96EU integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i9-13900H supports DDR4-3200, DDR5-5200 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i9-13900H has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 24 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i9-13900H features 14 total cores which can process 20 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The 14 cores consist of 6 P-Cores and 8 E-Cores. P-Cores are designed for high-performance tasks and E-Cores are intended for efficiency and lighter tasks. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.6 GHz, and it can boost up to 5.4 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i9-13900H includes an integrated graphics solution called Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Core i9-13900H has the 52nd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 60.40% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 22,343 score and $617 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 36.21. This is the 96th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the AMD Pro A8-8600B CPU

The AMD Pro A8-8600B is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. The Pro A8-8600B is compatible with FP4 motherboards and is fabricated on a 28 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon R6 Series integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Pro A8-8600B has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 512 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Pro A8-8600B features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 1600.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3000.0 MHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture.

Integrated Graphics

The Pro A8-8600B includes an integrated graphics solution called Radeon R6 Series. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance

The Pro A8-8600B has the 613th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 5.50% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
