A few days ago, Intel released the 65W model of the 12th generation Core Duo at CES, plus the K series model released last year, the complete lineup of the 12th generation Core desktop processor has been released.
Now, the Coelacanth-dream forum has exposed the news of Intel’s 13th-generation Core Raptor Lake. It is reported that the top model of Raptor Lake is i9-13900K, which is 24 cores and 32 threads, that is, 8 performance cores (P) + 16 efficiency cores (E). Compared to the i9-12900K, the i9-13900K has double the number of efficient cores. In addition, the engineering samples of the i9-13900K also do not support the AVX-512 instruction set.
At CES 2022, Gregory Bryant, Intel’s executive vice president and general manager of the Client Computing Group, confirmed that Raptor Lake is on the way. Intel didn’t specify when Raptor Lake would hit retail, only mentioning a 2022 release. AMD’s Ryzen 7000 (Raphael) Zen 4 processors are set to launch in the second half of 2022, so Raptor Lake could be around in that time frame.
At present, desktops equipped with Intel’s 12th-generation Core K-series and 65W-series processors are already on the market, while boxed processors such as the i5-12400 and B660 motherboards are also starting to appear on the market.
