In single-core performance, the CPU scores 2319 points which put its 5% ahead of the i9-13900K, and if we compare the multi-threading performance, we are looking at an even better performance of up to 10%.
Versus the Core i9-12900KS, the Core i9-13900KS will offer a 10% performance bump in single-core and 40% performance boost in multi-threaded performance.
Now the Core i9-13900KS won’t come cheap and will definitely cost a premium of $100 to $200 US over the Core i9-13900K while also consuming much higher power. But that’s why the chip will mostly be a limited production run and quantities won’t be the same as the standard Core i9-13900K CPUs.

Comparison of processors using the Russian-language benchmark service
Hello, friends.
How to choose a processor from several pre-marked models? For such purposes, the network has special Internet services and programs — benchmarks. We already wrote about one such service on the pages of the site — about the PassMark service, with its help we compared processors and video cards. Benchmark services are arranged according to the type of databases: they collect technical information about computer components, allow you to filter them according to various criteria, and compare different models. And these services are equipped with rating systems. Based on the results of component testing, a performance index is calculated, measured in points. Based on this performance index, benchmarks build component ratings. Examples of such services are the mentioned PassMark, Geekbench, PCMark, 3DMark. But these are all English-language resources. Few people know, but the network has a Russian-language service for issuing information and ratings on processors and video cards — Chaynikam.
Info.
About the service
The Chaynikam.Info website is somewhat different from its foreign analogues. This is not a narrow-profile service site, it is a comprehensive IT-related information resource with articles-guides on using a computer, the Windows operating system, with publications about computer components for beginner-level users. Which, in fact, is displayed in the title of the site. Benchmark functionality is one of the subsections of the site sections about processors and video cards.
The site does not supply its own software for testing components, as benchmark services usually do — they offer benchmark software and, by obtaining data from the test results, form their databases with performance evaluation. How is the Chaynikam.Info database formed? It is based on a dry analysis of data from other benchmark services — PassMark, Geekbench 4, Cinebench R11.5, Cinebench R15, X264 HD Benchmark 4.0, 3DMark 06 CPU, etc. The Chaynikam.Info website analyzes the performance estimates of processors and video cards of these services and issues its own , the average score.
Such an intermediary site is convenient for those who find it difficult (or just too lazy) to understand the specifics of working with English-language benchmark resources.
Comparison of processors
The site database contains all niche processors — desktop (for PC assemblies), mobile (for laptops), server. To compare several models, follow the link:
Here we press the «Add processor» button and indicate the first model. We can select it from the resulting list, specifying the manufacturer, socket, number of cores, architecture, and other characteristics. And we can directly enter the model we are interested in.
This model will display the details in the table below. Next, click the Add Processor button again. We indicate another model of interest to us.
And now we can compare these models according to their characteristics in the table. It includes all the basic characteristics of processors, in particular, the year of manufacture, socket, number of cores and threads, base and overclocking frequencies, three levels of cache, critical temperature, the presence of an integrated graphics core, RAM support (type, channel mode, frequency), supported instructions and technologies, an indication of the unlocked multiplier, etc.
A maximum of 6 processors can be added to the comparison table for comparison purposes. And it can be customized — remove unnecessary, distracting columns with characteristics.
Below the table we will find line diagrams with an estimate of the performance of the added processors. With an assessment in the points scored, with a percentage decrease in performance from the most efficient model (it is taken as 100%), well, with a visual picture of the comparison. The first chart is presented according to the Chaynikam.Info site database, called «Overall Performance Rating».
Below will be diagrams of other benchmark services mentioned above, on whose tests the site base is based.
Characteristics of processors
In the lowest column of the comparison table in each column there is a link with the inscription «More», it leads to a separate page of information about this processor, more detailed information.
Here, in particular, we can get a link to the official page of the processor on the website of its manufacturer. By clicking on the links, we can go to pages with a description of supported instructions and technologies. We can also follow the link to the site page with information about the integrated graphics core, if the processor comes with one. Below the information about the processor, a line chart of the performance of the selected model will be presented. The diagram determines the place of the processor against the background of other processors: we are shown its rating and the rating of other models in points, the percentage increase or decrease in performance compared to other models, and a visual picture of the rating.
Rating of processors
In addition to the comparative table, the site’s benchmark functionality can be used to display the overall rating of processors. We go to the page:
https://www.chaynikam.info/cpu_table.html
Here we will see a table with a general performance rating of the models lined up in the list.
The table can be sorted in ascending and descending order, set a rating according to the bases of other benchmark services, specify other characteristics in three additional fields instead of the original ones.
The table with the overall rating can be filtered by processor manufacturers, socket, architecture, categories (desktop, mobile, server, etc.), number of cores, presence of a graphics core, and other characteristics.
***
Here, friends, there is a convenient service in Runet to help those who are looking for a good solution when choosing the heart of a computer. It’s a pity the site’s database does not provide approximate prices for processors, at least for a general idea of their price niche, as it is on the PassMark site. But it doesn’t matter, for price comparison there are other services like E-Catalog (for Russia) or Hotline (for Ukraine), where we can see not just the price niches of the selected models, but specific offers from specific online stores.
Well, good luck with your decisions when buying a computer.
How did we compare the «most domestic» Baikal with Intel / Sudo Null IT News
About Baikal again? Well, yes, we ourselves wanted to arrange a test drive, personally evaluate the performance, and at the same time find out how the processor copes with classic office tasks. Spoiler alert: This workhorse didn’t generally excel, but beat Intel on one task.
«The most domestic»
Baikal processor without alternative considers many Russian companies for itself in order to «transplant» their office staff to it. And this is the main reason why we chose it for the test. Yes, now the manufacturer is having difficulty obtaining processors, but he does not give up and put all his strength into resolving the issue.
For the test, we received two universal personal computers in the form factor Slim-Desktop (217 × 80 × 235 mm) Elpi511 with BE-M1000 (Baikal-M) on board. The first impression is pleasant.
The exterior of the car flawlessly: done soundly. Internal elements also do not scratch hands. You can find fault with the attachment of the rear interface panel, which plays and fidgets like a teenager on a first date. No other defects were noticed.
A funny feature of Elpi511 was that it turned on stably only on the second attempt. When you press the Power button for the first time, it shows signs of life, but seems to be in doubt: “User, are you sure you want to turn me on?” The second press removes doubts, and the car already starts without problems.
The BE-M1000 has four dual-core Arm Cortex-A57 processor clusters (8 cores in total). The Arm Cortex-A57 Cluster is based on the Armv8-A architecture and is a high performance, low power device. Each cluster includes two cores with an operating frequency of 1.5 GHz and is equipped with a 1 MB L2 cache. Each core has 48 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache.
Arm Cortex-A57 processor cores can operate in secure and non-secure modes in accordance with Arm TrustZone technology.
Through the eyes of a user
So, we reincarnated as ordinary users and looked at how Baikal-M behaves with the no less domestic, designed for the ARM architecture, OS Astra Linux 1.7 release «Smolensk» with the maximum level of security.
Astra Linux OS comes pre-installed with the LibreOffice office suite, which includes a set of editors — text (Writer), spreadsheet (Calc), vector (Draw), presentations (Impress) and formulas (Math). We appreciated their work.
All major file formats are supported. For a text editor, these are DOC, DOCX, DOTX, HTML, ODT, OTT, PDF, RTF, TXT, XML, etc. For a spreadsheet: CSV, HTML, XLT, XLTX, XLS, XLSM, XLSX, etc. Presentations open with the ODG extension , ODP, OTP, PPTX, PPSX, PPT, PPS, etc.
Applications begin to hang when editing «heavy» documents, for example, a text editor stalled while editing a document of 50 pages. In the review mode, the author of the comment/edit is not automatically determined. The functionality of the spreadsheet editor as a whole covers the needs of the user.
But there is no mode of joint work with the document.
The OS also includes the Ark archiver, which supports many popular formats, including 7z, tar, rar, zip, etc. The archiver worked flawlessly, all created archives were unpacked without any problems in other OSes.
How about surfing the Internet? In Astra Linux 4.7, Chromium and Mozilla Firefox browsers are available for this. Pages open quite quickly, without delay. But the first one seems to work faster.
VDI on Baikal is implemented using the Termidesk connection manager and Brest virtualization tool. Connection is possible via SPICE or RDP protocols. But we would prefer SPICE. When using RDP, the response is sooooo slow: the launch of the application lasted 1.5 minutes, we had time to drink tea.
Appearance of the virtual desktop.
Baikal vs Intel
We tested Baikal-M performance and compared it to Intel Core i5 (i5-10210U). The latter is almost exclusively represented on the PC in the office world, and it is Baikal that has a chance to replace it in the corporate field in real life.
A little pepper to caramel: the Baikal processor is obviously inferior to foreign analogues. If we compare the frequency, then Vaikal loses a little: 1.5 GHz versus 1.6 GHz for Intel Core i5. At the same time, according to some parameters, our test subjects managed to bypass the i5.
Regarding the configurations of RAM for the tested workstations. The Baikal workstation uses two 4 GB RAM sticks (DDR4 2666 MHz), and the Intel workstation uses one 8 GB RAM stick (DDR4 2400 MHz).
We ran two Baikal processors — for the purity of the experiment — on a set of tests provided by the developer of OC Astra Linux. It determines the basic performance characteristics in the processor-peripheral bundle. Benchmarks provide quantitative estimates of the processing power of the processor. And we compared the results obtained with those of the x86 architecture.
For example, according to the Dhrystone Benchmark¹, Baikal lost two and a half times. We then ran the processor through the Unrolled Double Precision Linpack Benchmark² test.
According to it, Baikal fell behind again, but already five times. And again, this was to be expected: Intel processors are optimized for such tasks. We looked at how Baikal behaves on the Livermore Loops³ test for supercomputers. And finally, we finished with the math with the SciMark 2⁴ test. Its results show the speed of processing complex mathematical problems.
The results of all tests above are explained by the difference in frequency between Baikal and Intel. And here we got nothing surprising.
Dhrystone Benchmark, Unrolled Double Precision Linpack Benchmark, Livermore Loops, SciMark 2 test results and a set of Python scripts.
All these differences in indicators are impressive only in diagrams. In reality, while testing Baikal as ordinary users, we did not find a catastrophic difference in comparison with Intel. We raced them, running various applications, processing tables and presentations, everything worked without brakes. Well, because it is difficult to rest on processor performance on ordinary office tasks.
A place to wonder
And then there was the STREAM test, which measures the data transfer rate (Mbps) for simple operations: copy (COPY), scaling (SCALE), addition (SUM), and scalar addition (TRIAD) ).
We later recreated this test in reality. We needed to mount the boot disk on a flash drive. Typically, such an operation on Intel processors takes 10-15 minutes. Vaikal confidently did it in two minutes. What a!
This speed is explained by the number of instructions for different processors. Vaikal has fewer of them, so there are more resources for the task. Intel, on the other hand, is specially optimized for each of the processes, that is, it contains many instructions for each specific case. And as a result, he spends more time trying to bypass all these instructions.
Thus, where Vaikal loses due to lack of optimization, it wins in speed… due to lack of optimization!
STREAM.
On graphics tasks, we obtained comparable results among all experimental subjects.
Tested with GLMark (glmark2) — a small Python / OpenGL (ES) utility for comparative testing of GPUs (GPU Benchmark).
Glmark2 test.
The pictures turned out to be clear, but the drawing is not too detailed. But in the process of their creation, the system unit did not slow down.
Examples of images obtained from the test.
Its own, native and a bit bitter
On the whole, Vaikal showed the expected results and can compete with Intel in functional tasks. The latter overtakes its Russian counterpart due to greater productivity and embedded mechanisms for optimizing individual processes. And yet, Vaikal covers the needs of an ordinary user.
At the same time, he has a number of features that cannot be overlooked.
Firstly, Vaikal is not strong in graphics tasks and running a graphics editor on it will probably be risky. It’s not meant for that. Specialized graphics processors (GPUs) are used to process graphic tasks, and the «heavy drawing» graphics coprocessor built into Baikal simply cannot handle it.
On a competitive Intel without a powerful graphics coprocessor, we would not run Photoshop either. It is better to give graphics processing more to tools sharpened for this.
Secondly, most applications are not optimized for its processor. For example, when trying to launch screen sharing on Baikal as part of a video conference on IVA, we got a collapse of the system unit. Probably, the RAM was full, but until we got into the logs, we have nothing to confirm or refute our guess. When we pointed out the problem, the manufacturers (Baikal Electronics and IVA) quickly cooperated and took the task for revision. Thirdly, we noticed that both system units were noticeably warming up. Overheating was never reached, but we cannot guarantee this on longer use.
Well, another important nuance is the cost. The i5-10210U processor costs $400, but the BE-M1000 costs $500. The difference is small, but in terms of Hz / dollar is already significant.
On the other hand, Baikal perfectly meets the requirements for import substitution.
The processors themselves come from Taiwan, but the localization of Baikal production is high. The manufacturer says that he is ready for the process of restructuring logistics, transferring production to other capacities, but how this will materialize in reality is an open question.
Benchmarks used:
¹The Dhrystone Benchmark is a synthetic general purpose processor integer arithmetic benchmark. It gives the result in number of iterations per second that results in DMIPS (from Dhrystone MIPS) by dividing by 1757 (Dhrystone/s result for a VAX 11/780 computer, i.e. a nominal machine with 1 DMIPS).
²Unrolled Double Precision Linpack Benchmark is a test of computer performance when processing floating point numbers (double precision). Here we measure the speed at which a computer solves a dense system of linear equations (SLAE) Ax=b, where A is an n by n matrix. According to the results of the test, by the way, the TOP 500 rating is being prepared, which marks the most high-performance supercomputers in the world.
