The official announcement of the 13th generation Intel Core desktop processors (Raptor Lake-S) will take place only by the end of September, but their full specifications have already appeared on the Web, the resource has published the corresponding slides. Igor’sLAB. New items will offer up to 24 cores, frequency up to 5.8 GHz and power consumption up to 253 watts.
The slides show only six older models, representing the K and KF series. Probably, only these models will be announced at the upcoming event, and the rest will have to wait for some time. The flagship Intel Core i9-13900K and i9-13900KF processors will be 24-core – 8 performance (P) and 16 efficient (E) cores, for a total of 32 threads. Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB) technology will provide automatic overclocking to 5.8 GHz, but manually the frequency can be raised even higher. In addition, the chips will support DDR5-5600 and DDR4-3200 memory.
The more affordable Core i7-13700K and i7-13700KF will offer 16 cores (8P + 8E) and 24 threads, as well as a peak frequency of up to 5.4 GHz. TVB support is no longer provided here, but manual overclocking has not disappeared. It is noteworthy that this did not affect power consumption: the same 253 watts.
The i5-13600K and KF models that close the six will receive 14 cores (6P + 8E), 20 threads and a frequency of up to 5.1 GHz. Unlike older processors, the younger duo also lacks support for Turbo Boost Max 3.0. The maximum TDP is already 181 W, and the nominal one for all six chips is the same – 125 W.
Judging by the slides, the most noticeable innovations of the 13th generation Core chips were support for faster DDR5-5600 memory without overclocking (was DDR5-4800) and more cores. The Z790 platform will receive an increased number of PCIe Gen4 lanes to 20 by reducing the number of Gen3 lanes. The new generation processors will be released in October, and their official announcement is scheduled for September 27 – it will be held as part of the Innovation event.
