Intel want to show s Raptor Lake which is still in top form, so the company has confirmed that its next generation of desktop processors will be the first in the industry to offer 6GHz as the maximum working speed with the possibility of reaching up to 8GHz overclocking.

We remember that Raptor Lake will use Raptor Cove as the architecture, which is an evolution of Golden Cove implemented in Alder Lake. As a result, the next generation of Intel processors will follow the line that brought it such good results a year ago, with many models, especially in the higher ranges, combining high and low performance cores. The noticeable increase in Raptor Lake’s operating speeds stems from Intel’s work to refine the technology that was implemented and used in Alder Lake.

However, despite Intel’s announcement, there is no record of any processor reaching a maximum frequency of 6GHz from the factory without overclocking. For example, it is expected Core i9-13900K they have a base frequency of 3 GHz, a working speed of 5.8 GHz in turbo mode, 66 MB cache, 8 high-performance cores, 16 low-performance cores, 32 threads in total, 125 W PBP and 250 W MTP.

The Intel Core i7-13700K It breaks down to having a base frequency of 3.4 GHz, a working speed of 5.3 GHz in turbo mode, 54 MB cache, 8 high-performance cores, 8 low-performance cores, 24 threads in total, 125 watts of PBP and 244 watts of MTP . . From his side, Core i5-13600K It has a base operating speed of 3.5 GHz, a turbo mode frequency of 5.1 GHz, a cache of 44 MB, 6 high-performance cores, 8 low-performance cores, a total of 20 threads, a PBP of 125 watts and an MTP of 180 watts.

It’s important to note that the products haven’t been officially announced yet, so we’re probably in for a surprise. it is pointed out that the Intel Core i9-13900KS would be the model that would reach that 6GHz from factory and 8GHz via overclocking intel announced.

Highlights of Raptor Lake include the expected use of the 10nm “Intel 7” ESF manufacturing process, a 41% improvement in multi-threaded performance and a 15% improvement in single-threaded performance, doubling the number of low-threaded high-performance cores in some models compared to the Alder Lake predecessor, the ability to retain boards by reusing the LGA1700 socket, improved overclocking characteristics, PCIe support up to 28 lanes, DDR5-5600 RAM support, additionally supplemented with new motherboards with Z790, H770 and B760 chipsets. It is expected to be an Intel Core i9-13900K the first Raptor Lake processor to see the light, in October to be exact this year, along with some motherboards with the Z790 chipset.

On this occasion, we remind you that not all Raptor Lake processors can use Raptor Cove, because the Core i5-13600 and lower models, which do not belong to the K series, aim to recycle Alder Lake technology.
