Intel’s upcoming Raptor Lake laptop computer CPUs have been leaked, and the line-up appears fairly engaging, certainly.
This comes from common {hardware} leaker Raichu on Twitter (as flagged up by Wccftech (opens in new tab)), who supplied full specs for the vary of HX chips, beginning with the Core i9-13900HX with 8 efficiency cores, 16 effectivity cores, and a lift of as much as 5.4GHz (the bottom clock is 3.9GHz).

Subsequent up, now we have the Core i7-13700HX – keep in mind, take all these with a fistful of seasoning, as ever with the rumor mill – which supposedly runs with 8 efficiency plus 8 effectivity cores, and boosts as much as 5GHz (3.7GHz base clock).
A slight step down from that’s the Core i7-13650HX processor which drops to six efficiency cores (protecting 8 effectivity ones), with increase of as much as 4.9GHz (and a 3.6GHz base clock).
Then there’s the Core i5-13500HX which retains the identical core rely because the 13650HX however drops that increase to 4.7GHz (3.5GHz base). And at last, Raichu tells us that there’s a Core i5-13450HX with 6 efficiency cores plus 4 effectivity cores, and a lift of as much as 4.6GHz (and a base clock of three.4GHz).
Evaluation: Raptor able to pounce
That Raptor Lake HX flagship appears one thing fairly particular, with no fewer than 24-cores (8 efficiency cores) and being able to increase of as much as 5.4GHz. It’s a giant step up from Alder Lake laptop computer chips and, together with these additional cores and sooner clock speeds, you too can rely on larger cache sizes for the Raptor Lake silicon. On prime of that, higher overclocking is promised with Thirteenth-gen laptop computer chips, so it’s honest to say they’re ready within the wings to make fairly an influence.
When can we count on Crew Blue to launch these cellular processors? Intel has stated we’ll witness their look earlier than 2022 is out however, realistically, these chips can be in additional laptops come early 2023 (probably with some potent pairings alongside RTX 40 sequence laptop computer GPUs).
Maybe the fear right here isn’t efficiency, which seems to be current in abundance, however quite how these HX chips could hit battery longevity. That’s the place AMD might rating a key victory by way of higher effectivity with Zen 4 laptop computer silicon when it arrives – however precisely when that’ll be, we’re unsure. However we do know Raptor Lake cellular chips can be out in full pressure earlier than AMD involves market, and as talked about, Thirteenth-gen laptop computer silicon isn’t far-off now. Thrilling instances, certainly.
