Why it matters: According to reports from Moore's Law is Dead, users who choose to stick with DDR4 RAM for their fresh Alder Lake processors might be able to keep it even if they choose to upgrade to its successor whenever they come around. If true, this could help a lot of people save money until DDR5 is more affordable.

Intel's recently released 12th-generation CPUs are the first to support DDR5 RAM, but Intel obviously didn't drop support for DDR4 right away. The earliest DDR5 RAM sticks coming out now are expensive and hard to obtain. They also have high CAS latency.

Some users seem to have started worrying that Intel's eventual 13th generation CPUs would switch to supporting DDR5 exclusively, but that might not be the case according to Moore's Law is Dead.
Intel continuing to support DDR4 RAM alongside DDR5 for another generation would fall in line with what it did during the transition from DDR3 to DDR4.

Intel Raptor Lake CPUs possibly launching October 17 with the same architecture as Alder Lake
Non-K processors might arrive in January
July 23, 2022

Rumor mill: New information from a couple of known leakers has strengthened existing rumors about the makeup and release dates of Intel's upcoming Raptor Lake processors. The first models will likely start shipping this fall, and they are an evolution from Alder Lake rather than a revolution.

This week, an established leaker claimed that the first 13th generation Intel CPUs will release on October 17. Also, this week, another leaker posted internal Intel documents confirming the upcoming processors use the same microarchitecture as Alder Lake, which launched last year.

Full alleged lineup of Intel 13th Gen desktop Raptor Lake including i9, i7, i5, i3 leaks
August 19, 2022

At its upcoming Innovation 2022 event at the end of September, Intel is expected to unveil its Raptor Lake-S 13th Generation desktop CPU lineup. While plenty of purported details regarding the flagship Core i9-13900K and other i9 SKUs have leaked over the past few months or so, information regarding the more mid-range and entry level Core i3 and i5 SKUs have managed to elude us.

Today, an alleged picture was posted on Chinese social media site Bilibili which seemingly leaks the entire upcoming Raptor Lake-S lineup including their core specifications.

The “Cores” column in the table in the image above signifies the distribution of the Bigger P-cores (performance cores) and Big E-cores (efficiency cores). It looks like the P-core specifications in the upcoming Raptor Lake lineup haven't changed over the 12th Gen Alder Lake chips.

The E-core specs however see some significant change as there appear to be double the E-cores in each of the SKU for Raptor Lake-S barring the Core i3-13100 which will seemingly feature the same core configuration as the 12100, basically making it a poor upgrade if we are to believe these specs.

Purported Intel Raptor Lake official launch slides leak revealing specs, Z790 details
By Sayan Sen - September 8, 2022

With Intel's 13th Gen Raptor Lake launch fast approaching according to leaked reports, there are plenty of other leaks trickling out here and there. Alleged details regarding the SKUs have also surfaced, initially in the form of just basic specifications, followed later with more in-depth details. Today, courtesy of igor'sLAB, the entire purported official presentation slide deck for the Raptor Lake-S launch has leaked.

First up, we have a slide (left below) showing the basic comparison between the previous 12th Gen Alder Lake-S and the new 13th Gen Raptor Lake-S CPUs. The image on the right shows the SKU chart. Interestingly, although the slide only lists the a couple of SKUs each from the i9, i7 and i5 series, previous reports have indicated more lower power T SKUs are also in the works.

The spec list also says that 253W will be the Maximum Turbo power for the i9 and i7 chips. However, rumors have suggested that Intel may go even higher with an alleged 350W Extreme performance mode.

What's mostly new in today's leak are details regarding the upcoming Z790 chipset succeeding the previous Z690 chipset on the same socket LGA1700 platform.

Intel breaks the 6GHz barrier with $699 Core i9-13900KS processor
Intel’s latest 13th Gen CPU arrives today, with a 6GHz max turbo frequency at stock speeds.
By Tom Warren @tomwarren - January 12, 2023

Intel is launching its fastest desktop processor to date, breaking the 6GHz barrier at stock speeds for the first time. The new Core i9-13900KS is based on the 13th Gen Core i9-13900K that came close to the 6GHz barrier with its 5.8GHz turbo frequency last year. The new i9-13900KS will be available in stores today, priced at $699.
Click to expand...

The 13900KS is the first CPU to reach 6GHz without overclocking, using Intel’s Thermal Velocity Boost technology to reach that 6GHz barrier and improve PC gaming performance. It does it by using more electricity, though. The base power of the 13900K was 125 watts, and Intel has bumped this up to 150 watts on the 13900KS. At max turbo power, it will hit slightly above 250 watts — just like the 13900K.
Other than the power and turbo frequencies, the 13900KS is almost identical to the 13900K.

The performance core base frequencies have been bumped up to 3.2GHz, up from the 3GHz on the 13900K, but it has the same 24 cores (eight performance and 16 efficiency cores), 32 threads, 36MB of Intel Smart Cache, and 20 PCIe lanes (16 PCIe 5 and four PCIe 4 lanes).
