Intel Raptor Lake CPUs possibly launching October 17 with the same architecture as Alder Lake

Rumor mill: New details from a couple of recognized leakers has strengthened existing rumors about the makeup and launch dates of Intel's impending Raptor Lake processors. The initial products will most likely get started transport this fall, and they are an evolution from Alder Lake relatively than a revolution.

This 7 days, an recognized leaker claimed that the very first 13th technology Intel CPUs will release on October 17. Also, this week, a further leaker posted interior Intel paperwork confirming the approaching processors use the similar microarchitecture as Alder Lake, which introduced last year.

The launch day will come from Enthusiastic Citizen (ESCM_Official), who recently shared benchmarks of Raptor Lake's Main i5-13600K. They claim Intel will unveil its up coming-era CPUs at its Innovation event in September, prior to an October 17 launch. Previously rumors pegged the day inside October.

That first launch contains the i9-13900K, i7-13700K, and i5-13600K, together with Z790 chipset motherboards. Intel will reveal the non-K Raptor Lakes at CES 2023 on January 5 ahead of releasing them alongside with the H760 and B760 chipsets in the next half of January.

In the meantime, InstLatX64 – who in 2020 exposed Geekbench assessments for Intel Lakefield processors – posted Intel documentation this week listing Raptor Lake and Alder Lake below the identical architecture team. The firm's Top rated-down Microarchitecture Analysis spreadsheet (linked in the embedded tweet) teams CPUs heading back again several generations by microarchitecture with "ADL/RPL" (Alder Lake/Raptor Lake) first.

That assessment coincides with what we by now know about the similarities and compatibilities in between Intel 12th and 13th gen processors. A latest sample of the 13900K shows that its general performance gains depend on increased power use since it utilizes the exact Intel 7 semiconductor node as the earlier generation. Furthermore, the Intel 600 sequence motherboards that assistance Alder Lake will assistance Raptor Lake through BIOS updates. The impending Intel CPUs will also continue to aid DDR4 RAM alongside with the hottest DDR5 RAM.

Intel's 14th technology Meteor Lake chips, possibly based on the impending Intel 4 node, should really provide a additional dramatic difference in efficiency when they arrive in late 2023.
