Intel itself speaks of the fastest desktop processor in the world with the new top model, the Core i9-13900K. To achieve this goal, Intel has increased clock rates up to 5.8 GHz, doubled the number of E-Cores and revised the cache system.
The Core i7-13700K(F) and the Core i5-13600K(F) are located under the Core i9-13900K(F), although Intel has doubled the number of built-in E-Cores here as well. Accordingly, the i7 has 16 cores with 24 threads and clock rates of up to 5.4 GHz (+400 MHz). The small i5 has 14 cores with 20 threads with clock rates of up to 5.1 GHz (+200 MHz). But not only the clock rates of the P cores but also the E cores have increased significantly: specifically by 400 MHz for the i9 and i7 and by 200 MHz for the i5.
Intel states that the above changes should increase single-thread performance by up to 15 percent and multi-core performance by up to 41 percent. According to the test values, the 13900K calculates up to 24 percent faster than its predecessor in 32 selected games and in more than half the increase should be at least five percent.
The upcoming Raptor Lake processors are fully compatible with all socket 1700 mainboards with a 600 chipset. Compared to its predecessor, the new Z790 socket offers eight additional PCIe Gen4 lanes, with the chipset itself now being connected to the CPU with DMI Gen 4.0. In addition, the chipset can provide more USB 3.2 ports with fast 20 Gbps.
ASUS is known for the ROG STRIX - Republic Of Gamers series. ASUS has also been offering AiO cooling for some time. The top model from the ROG Strix series is the ROG Strix LC 360 RGB. In the standard version, it appears in black and with RGB lighting.
The ASUS ROG STRIX LC360 RGB convinces across the board. Apart from the enormous power of the pump and the fans, it is a feast for the eyes in terms of workmanship, performance and color play. The mirror surface with the ROG in LED - madness. The pump installed by ASUS really didn't promise too much and is a clear plus in terms of performance, even in the lower cooling area.
Above all, it scores with high cooling performance and is at the forefront of AiO cooling. This high performance is not only offered at maximum fan speed, but also at moderate fan speed. With the ROG Strix LC 360 RGB, ASUS delivers a very powerful AiO water cooling system. Apart from the impressive cooling performance, the processing quality, optics (adjustable RGB lighting) and the secure mounting system know how to please. The clear software also speaks for the purchase.
So if you like performance, clean processing of the components and RGB effects, the ASUS ROG STRIX LC 360 RGB is definitely the first port of call.

ASUS has presented its mainboards with the Z790 chipset, which have been optimized for the new Raptor Lake processors. Nevertheless, we want to highlight a few highlights. For example, ASUS focuses on the fact that the Raptor Lake processors support DDR5-5600, which is a significant increase over DDR5-4800. In fact, the new boards together with the processors will enable significantly higher memory clock rates. Here ASUS provides its own ASUS Enhanced Memory Profiles (AEMP), which support the user.
Thanks to the Q-Design functions, M.2 SSDs and graphics cards can be quickly and easily installed or replaced without any tools.
CRUCIAL DIMM 32GB, DDR5-4800, CL40-39-39, type DDR5 DIMM 288-pin, on-die ECC, clock 4800MHz, modules 2x 16GB, JEDEC PC5-38400U, ranks/banks single rank, x16, CAS Latency CL 40 (corresponds to ~16.67ns), Row-to-Column Delay tRCD 39 (corresponds to ~16.25ns), Row Precharge Time tRP 39 (corresponds to ~16.25ns), voltage 1.1V, 
special features standard SPD.
Crucial deliberately does without a heat spreader in the value memory bars. The PCBs appear in chic black. The big advantage of the non-existing heat spreader is of course the fact that the modules are not in the way even with expansive CPU air coolers. The memory chips are of course from Micron and could be overclocked by 800 MHz in our short test, so that the effective clock frequency has increased to 5,600 MHz.
With just 4,800 MHz on the effective side, Crucial's value modules present themselves with exactly the native DDR5 maximum clock that Intel has specified for the 12th core generation (Alder Lake-S). An XMP in version 3.0 was programmed by Crucial to communicate the parameters specified by the manufacturer to the BIOS/UEFI in a simple manner.
The built-in Micron memory chips allow overclocking of a decent 800 MHz, i.e. up to DDR5-5600.
Positive properties of the Crucial Value DDR5 DIMMs:
good SPD programming including XMP 3.0
low module height for high cooler compatibility
good workmanship
Negative characteristics of the Crucial Value DDR5 DIMMs:
high price

Microsoft Windows 10 Professional 64Bit, pre-installed with all necessary device drivers. Switch on and get started!
The launch of Windows 10 and the associated developments are among the most important market launches in Microsoft's corporate history. Windows 10 not only brings a new version of the operating system onto the market, Windows 10 enables a new platform generation:
"We want to ensure that we offer developers the largest and most vibrant user base for their applications," said Satya Nadella in his opening keynote at BUILD 2015 in San Francisco. Windows 10 is now available in 190 countries and 111 languages.
The browser is really new in Windows 10: Edge replaces Internet Explorer. The new browser doesn't just have the cooler name. It is also much faster. In almost all browser benchmarks, Edge depends on IE 11 from Windows 8.1. It can almost double its pace in Mozilla's Kraken benchmark. It looks the same in Google's Octane 2.0 test. Its pace remains roughly the same in the Sunspider test and the Peacekeeper benchmark. Conclusion: When it comes to the browser speed, Windows 10 with Edge catches up a lot. In Kraken and Octane, Edge overtakes the competition, in the Sunspider he stays ahead. The old conditions are only preserved in the Peacekeeper test.
Windows start
Microsoft already shortened the start times of Windows extremely with Windows 8. If the computer is switched off using "Shut down", it does not switch itself off, but only goes into hibernation - from which it can wake up more quickly. Even with a real Katlstart or restart, Windows 8.1 is slightly slower: However, over time, Windows remembers the files that it needs for the start: The start time is shortened with repeated starts. After ten starts, the two operating systems were almost on par with 20 seconds (Windows 10) and 22 seconds (Windows 8.1).
System performance
Windows is actually getting faster and faster the older it gets: For most components, manufacturers are releasing ever more up-to-date drivers that accelerate the hardware. Windows feels like it is getting slower and slower: This is mostly due to the fact that the autostart folder is filling up with more and more entries, more and more tools are running in the background and more and more programs that are no longer used are littering the memory. The performance tests show hardly any difference between Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Sometimes one system is faster, sometimes the other. But all the results are so closely related - with less than three percent difference - that no difference is noticeable in practice. This also applies to tests such as Cinebench R15, which primarily check the processor performance. Even if we repeated the tests several times, nothing changed: When saving and buffering frequently used files, nothing seems to have changed between Windows 8.1 and 10. Conclusion: When it comes to hardware performance, Windows 10 is as fast as Windows 8.1 - or vice versa. So that Windows 10 stays fast, the same rules apply as always with Windows: Install the latest drivers and keep the system clean.
3D performance
Windows 10 comes with the new Direct X12 3D interface. DX12 is designed to allow game programmers to use the capabilities of the GPU more efficiently. Computers with less powerful graphics cards can also benefit from this and display graphically complex games more smoothly. At the moment, the potential of DX12 can only be demonstrated using synthetic benchmarks such as the API overhead test. Conclusion: Windows 10 has the potential to accelerate games on weaker systems thanks to the DX12. But the concrete results will only show games that use DX12. The first should appear at the end of the year.
Windows 10 lays a good foundation: the hardware manufacturers have to use this to tease out a performance plus with improved drivers. Or in the case of Direct X12 game programmers who use the capabilities of the new interface in games.
