Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Processors with the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can process many calculations, especially audio, image and video processing, much faster than classic processors. Algorithms for ML improve their performance the more data they have collected via software. ML tasks can be processed up to 10,000 times faster than with a classic processor.

In September, both AMD and Intel are introducing their new mainstream desktop processors. It doesn't seem to have been as close as this year for a long time, leaked benchmarks of the new top models from AMD and Intel point to a head-to-head race.

This year even the 6 GHz clock limit is almost within reach. With a good cooler and some overclocking it should be possible to reach the 6 GHz limit. But even in series production, the manufacturers try to realize the highest possible clock frequency, at least on one core.

According to an internal Intel slide published at the end of last year, the Intel Core i7-13700K could have 8+8, i.e. 16 CPU cores that provide 24 threads. The interesting thing about the slide is that it was recently confirmed by newer leaks of the Intel Core i9-13900K and the Intel Core i5-13600K as the number of cores and also the size of the cache matches with recently published CPU-Z screenshots of alleged development models.

After we published a performance assessment of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X last week, the well-known AMD leaker Greymon55 has now posted more informations via Twitter.

He predicts the first four models of the new Zen 4 desktop generation, which AMD would like to present at the end of 2022. There is also an alleged release date of September 15, 2022.

Comparison of the two processors

This comparison is about the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D from AMD's Ryzen 7 family, which was released in the fourth quarter of 2020, and the Intel Core i5-13600K, which was released in the fourth quarter of 2022. The AMD processor is manufactured with a structure width of 7 nanometers and is based on the Vermeer (Zen 3) architecture. The Intel counterpart, although it is 2 years newer, is still manufactured using the 10 nanometer process and is based on Intel's Raptor Lake S architecture.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is equipped with 8 identical processor cores that clock at up to 4.50 gigahertz. It supports hyperthreading, which means it has up to 16 computing threads available. The Intel Core i5-13600K is built in a hybrid big.LITTLE core architecture. It has 6 Raptor Cove performance cores and 8 Gracemont efficiency cores. The Raptor Cove cores clock at a maximum of 5.10 gigahertz and the maximum clock speed of the Gracemont cores is 3.90 gigahertz. The performance cores support hyperthreading, which provides the processor with up to 20 computing threads. In addition, the Intel processor is also overclockable, which the AMD processor is not.

Only the Intel Core i5-13600K has an internal graphics unit. The Intel UHD Graphics 770 is used here, which is equipped with 32 execution units and 256 shaders. The iGPU clocks at up to 1.50 gigahertz and can use up to 64 gigabytes of the system's built-in RAM. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D must be operated with a dedicated graphics card; 20 PCIe lines of version 4.0 are available for this purpose. Of course, you can also use a dedicated graphics card with the Intel processor; for this it is also equipped with 20 PCIe cables, but already in version 5.0.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D can be operated with up to 128 GB of RAM via the 2 memory channels. The Intel Core i5-13600K even supports the operation of up to 192 GB of RAM.
