On September 27, 2022, Intel unveiled details about the highly anticipated 13th generation Raptor Lake chip, expected to deliver powerful performance and enhance efficiency. So, what standout features can we expect from Intel's Raptor Lake 13th generation chip? Read on to grasp the detailed information in this Mytour article.
1. Key Insights into Intel's 13th Generation Processor
According to Intel's disclosures, the Raptor Lake chip includes: i5-13600K, i7-13700K, and i9-13900K, with KF variants lacking integrated graphics. The chips are equipped with more cores for faster clock speeds, enhancing overall performance.
These chips also support the latest technologies such as PCIe Gen 5.0 and DDR5 memory, while remaining compatible with PCIe Gen 4.0 and DDR4. The highest-tier Intel Core i9 chip also features Thermal Velocity Boost and Adaptive Boost Technology, increasing processor frequency based on workload and thermal headroom.
2. Enhanced Core Addition
Every 13th generation processor sees an increase in core count. Previously, the i5-13600K lacked E-Cores, but now it boasts 8 E-Cores, raising the total core count. The i7-13700K has 8 cores, up from Alder Lake's 4 E-Cores. As for the i7-13900K, it doubles from 8 to 16 E-Cores, delivering a total chip core count of 24.
The core boost enables 13th generation CPU chips to enhance multitasking performance.
3. Impressive Clock Speeds
In addition to the supplementary E-Cores, Intel also ramps up the clock speeds for its 13th generation processors. The i5-13600K boasts a maximum clock speed of 5.1 GHz, compared to the 5.2 GHz of the 12th generation 12900K.
In the event of users increasing the model numbers, the i7-13700K reaches 5.4 GHz, while the i9-13900K hits a maximum of 5.8 GHz.
4. Enhanced Efficiency
Enhancements will elevate Intel's 13th generation processing chip to remarkable performance levels. Despite sharing the same basic TPD of 125W, Turbo usage demands more.
The maximum TDP of the i5-12600K, i7-12700K, and i9-12900K will be 150W, 190W, and 241W, respectively. However, 13th generation partners will require 181W for the i5-13600K and 253W for both the i7-13700K and i9-13900K. This significant increase will be accompanied by substantial processing power enhancements.
Intel also claims that Raptor Lake chips deliver superior efficiency compared to Alder Lake CPU chips. At validated platforms, the 13900K running at 65W matches the performance of the 12900K running at 241W. Pushing the TDP of the i9-13900K to its maximum will increase performance by up to 41% compared to its predecessor.
