It is reported that Intel i9-13900K has a 350W limit performance release mode.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen AMD for the clue delivery to challenge the future! CTOnews.com August 18 news, foreign media VideoCardz quoted sources as saying that Intel will add a new factory overclocking mode for the upcoming 13th generation Core i9 series, and the performance release will reach 350W.

It is reported that the 125W PL1 power and 253W PL2 power limits of the i9-13900K series will remain unchanged, ensuring compatibility with the 600 series motherboards. However, there will be an option to enable 350W mode on some 700 series motherboards, which, of course, requires sufficient heat dissipation. Preliminary tests show that the performance will be improved by 15% in 350W limit performance release mode.

CTOnews.com has reported that previously, testers have manually overclocked the i9-13900K to 345W power, and the Cinebench R23 multi-thread run score reached 40616 points, an increase of 14% over the normal state.

"Intel Core i9-13900K (350W) Cinebench runs better than AMD R9 5950X by about 67%"
