While new rumors and benchmark information related to Intel’s 13th generation Raptor Lake are being mentioned, there is additional interesting news related to PL (Power Limit) performance.
Regarding the 350W power limit option of Raptor Lake the other day, foreign media Prohardver said, “PL1 and PL2 are provided the same as Elder Lake, but 350W is provided through a separate option.” However, the 350W power limit BIOS option can only be supported by the latest Intel 700 series chipsets.
In this regard, the specific reason was not mentioned separately, but it is expected that the TDP increases along with the increase in the number of E cores, so it is interpreted that the existing 600 series chipset can only support some high-end motherboards.
On the other hand, when the Raptor Lake 350W option is activated, the all-core boost clock of P+E increases, and it is known that there is an additional performance improvement of up to 15% in performance.
