Intel Raptor Lake perhaps launching October 17 with the exact same architecture as Alder Lake

Rumor mill: New information from a couple of acknowledged leakers has strengthened existing rumors about the makeup and launch dates of Intel's upcoming Raptor Lake processors. The first models will probably commence delivery this drop, and they are an evolution from Alder Lake alternatively than a revolution.

This week, an founded leaker claimed that the to start with 13th generation Intel CPUs will release on October 17. Also, this 7 days, another leaker posted inside Intel paperwork confirming the upcoming processors use the same microarchitecture as Alder Lake, which launched previous 12 months.

The launch date will come from Enthusiastic Citizen (ESCM_Formal), who just lately shared benchmarks of Raptor Lake's Main i5-13600K. They claim Intel will unveil its future-technology CPUs at its Innovation party in September, in advance of an October 17 launch. Previously rumors pegged the day inside of Oct.

That first launch incorporates the i9-13900K, i7-13700K, and i5-13600K, together with Z790 chipset motherboards. Intel will expose the non-K Raptor Lakes at CES 2023 on January 5 in advance of releasing them along with the H760 and B760 chipsets in the next 50 % of January.

Meanwhile, InstLatX64 – who in 2020 revealed Geekbench assessments for Intel Lakefield processors – posted Intel documentation this 7 days listing Raptor Lake and Alder Lake under the same architecture team. The company's Leading-down Microarchitecture Assessment spreadsheet (connected in the embedded tweet) teams CPUs going back again many generations by microarchitecture with "ADL/RPL" (Alder Lake/Raptor Lake) very first.

That examination coincides with what we presently know about the similarities and compatibilities among Intel 12th and 13th gen processors. A modern sample of the 13900K displays that its performance gains depend on enhanced energy intake since it employs the very same Intel 7 semiconductor node as the previous era. Also, the Intel 600 collection motherboards that help Alder Lake will assist Raptor Lake through BIOS updates. The impending Intel CPUs will also continue on to help DDR4 RAM together with the latest DDR5 RAM.

Intel's 14th generation Meteor Lake chips, possibly centered on the upcoming Intel 4 node, should provide a much more spectacular variance in functionality when they arrive in late 2023.
