Intel’s 13th Gen Core desktop processors, code named “Raptor Lake-S,” will launch in late Q3 this year, according to new rumors shared by leaker Moore’s Law Is Dead, who shared a video today regarding a range of topics that include why AMD might need Zen 4 to beat Intel’s upcoming families of Raptor Lake and Meteor Lake processors.



According to the leaker, 13th Gen Intel Core “Raptor Lake-S” processors are slated to launch in late Q3 2022, followed by the mobile H/HX/U “Raptor Lake-H” series, which are expected to release in the fourth quarter of this year. In addition to the purported launch dates, MILD claims that Intel’s next generation of desktop Core processors will bring uplifts of up to 15% in single-thread performance and an even more impressive uplift of up to 40% in the multi-threaded department.



While these figures have...

I've been debating on going with DDR5 now and getting a new board to prepare for this. I'm going to assume Raptor Lake will bring along the Z790 boards with better DDR5 ram by then though?

Quick read... wccftech.. and dismissed. We all know they will reiterate anything to get the scoop. I'm just surprised they haven't quoted a onion article as a source.

Z790 may / may not be a given - it would certainly fit the pattern, but it's also somewhat difficult to imagine what Intel would 'improve' over Z690.

For DDR5, perhaps 'better' RAM is coming, but the real improvement would be pricing. Beyond that timings could use some improvement - compare quickly with DDR4, a nice kit of DDR4 might come in at 3600C14, and if you just doubled those numbers you get 7200C28 (which gives you the same latency in terms of nanoseconds), you wind up with a specification that today doesn't exist. And if it did, well, better have a spare kidney!
