Intel's upcoming Raptor Lake-HX is now almost confirmed thanks to a recent leak of an MSI Raider GE78 HX laptop powered by the Core i9-13980HX on Geekbench. The CPU seems to be offering desktop-class performance with single-core and multi-core scores almost on par with a 170 W AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. The Core i9-13980HX also seems to be significantly faster than a leaked 12-core Apple M2 Max running the same benchmark.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Review

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Review: Superlative performance and efficiency gains that give Raptor Lake a run for the money

Raphael's shiny new frescos. The AMD Raphael Zen 4 Ryzen 9 7950X and Ryzen 7 7700X come with the promise of significant performance and efficiency upgrades over Zen 3. The new processors vie with Intel's latest Raptor Lake offerings for the performance and gaming crown, and succeed for the most part. The new Eco mode, wherein a 65 W Ryzen 7 7950X can outpace a stock Alder Lake Core i9-12900K, is particularly interesting, but users will have to factor in the initial investment that goes into the AM5 platform.
