Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake-HX To Boost Laptop CPU Core Counts To 24, Offering DDR5-5600 & OC Support
Succeeding Intel’s 12th Gen Alder Lake-HX CPUs, the 13th Gen Raptor Lake-HX CPUs will utilize the optimized 10nm ESF process node to deliver higher core counts, faster clocks & new features such as higher I/O lanes, more cache, faster memory support, and better overclocking capabilities. Specs for the entire lineup have been shared by OneRaichu so let’s start with the details.
— Raichu (@OneRaichu) November 14, 2022 The Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake-HX Laptop CPU lineup will be aiming at the ultra-enthusiast laptop segment with at least five SKUs. These include the Intel Core i9-13900HX, Core i7-13700HX, Core i5-13650HX, Core i5-13500HX, and the Core i5-13450HX. The SKUs will be configured with Raptor Cove P-Cores and Gracemont E-Cores. The configurations include 8+16, 8+8, 6+8, & 6+4 which means we will be getting up to 24 cores and 32 threads, the same configuration as the Core i9-13900K CPU. In terms of clock speeds, only two SKUs, the Intel Core i9-13900HX and the Core i7-13700HX will be utilizing 5 GHz+ boost frequencies while the rest will be running between 4.5-5.0 GHz. The full table of specs is provided below:
Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake Mobility CPU Lineup:
As for the features, the Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake-HX Laptop CPUs will feature support for DDR5-5600 and DDR4-3200 memory with native speeds at DDR5-4800. The CPUs will also support DRAM, Frequency, Ring, and PL overclocking while featuring increased cache and more PCIe Gen 4.0 lanes. The CPUs are expected to be featured in high-end designs later this year featuring NVIDIA’s RTX 30 series GPUs and Intel’s own Arc A7 series dGPUs. We can also expect Raptor Lake-HX laptops with NVIDIA’s RTX 40 GPUs to launch in the first half of 2023 after their announcement at CES 2023.
