About a month before Intel officially announced its 13th generation Raptor Lake CPUs, the company revealed some key details during its Intel Tech Tour in Israel.
The new Raptor Lake desktop processor will be up to 15 percent faster with single-threaded workloads and up to 41 percent faster with multi-threaded workloads than Alder Lake.
Additionally, Raptor Lake will have the first SKU to run at a stock clock speed of up to 6GHz. Intel also claims the chip will hit the world record of 8GHz, presumably with the use of liquid nitrogen. Furthermore, it would have to hit 8.7 GHz to become the actual world record. This would likely be a Core i9-13900KS.
Intel’s goal is clear: to get bragging rights on AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 7000 series, which will sport a maximum clock of 5.7 GHz.
Intel’s 13th generation processors will go fully official at the end of this month and launch on October 20th. They will run on Intel 7, an improved version of the 10nm Alder Lake node. They will carry up to 24 cores and 32 threads with up to 8 high performance cores and up to 16 efficiency cores.
Raptor Lake-S will be 65W-125W desktop processor series, while Raptor-P will be 15W-45W laptop processors. Expect support for PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSDs and dual-channel DDR5-5600 memory.
