At this year’s CES in Las Vegas, Intel presented the 13th generation of Core processors for notebooks. We have received an announcement of several dozen models from the Raptor Lake-HX, Raptor Lake-H, Raptor Lake-P and Raptor Lake-U series. The most powerful this year will be the Raptor Lake-HX systems, which are in fact desktop Raptor Lake-S models, transferred to the BGA housing. A test of the flagship Intel Core i9-13980HX processor from the MSI Raider GE78HX laptop has appeared on the web.
The top Intel Core i9-13980HX processor was tested in the Cinebench R23 benchmark. Its results significantly exceed the performance of the 12th generation.
Intel Raptor Lake-HX, Raptor Lake-H, Raptor Lake-P and Raptor Lake-U – premiere of 13th generation processors for laptops
Intel Core i9-13980HX is a 24-core and 32-thread Raptor Lake-HX processor, equipped with 8 Performance cores and 16 Efficient cores. Its clocks in Turbo Boost mode and with active Thermal Velocity Boost are able to reach a maximum of 5.6 GHz for the two most powerful cores. Jarrod’sTech channel has some early tests of the processor, coming from the MSI Raider GE78HX notebook and using the popular Cinebench R23 software. Compared to the previous generation, the new system is much more efficient.

Intel Core i9-13900KS officially introduced to the offer – the MSRP price of the top Raptor Lake is lower than the price of the Core i9-12900KS
In the single-thread test, the Intel Core i9-13980HX scored 2,135 points, while in the multi-thread test, the top-of-the-line Raptor Lake-HX scored 30,498 points. The first result may not be too much better than the previous generation (where Alder Lake-HX was already very strong in this respect), but in the multi-threaded test compared to most Alder Lake-HX systems, the new Core i9-13980HX can be stronger by about 50%. The exception is the ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 SE, in which the Core i9-12950HX mounted achieved noticeably better results compared to other laptops. With a simultaneous load on the graphics system, the Intel Core i9-13980HX will already work with a reduced energy limit, but for games it will still be efficient enough to be number one among mobile units.
