First, it is knownIntel13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs will be offered with matching 700-series motherboards (which are also compatible with existing 600-series chipsets), complemented by higher core/thread counts, and power delivery support.
Blue factories are expected to use digital linear voltage regulators (DLVRs) on the new CPUs to improve overall energy efficiency, but there has been news recently that Raptor Lake chips may switch to an FVIR scheme that is more suitable for mobile platforms.
The new rumors have not been confirmed, but even if the 700 series motherboards fail to get the blessing of DLVR, the impact on the user experience will not be too great.
As for overclocking, presumably version 7.8.2.21 of the XTU tools brings some interesting features specifically for the upcoming new platform – like per-core / package OC and Efficient TVB support.
However, these overclocking features will not only be exclusive to the 13th-generation Raptor Lake CPUs, but the existing 12th-generation Alder Lake CPUs will follow suit – even if the current lineup may not fully meet the latest OC tuning curve and require a BIOS firmware update / Patch support.
WCCFTechpointed out that the so-called ETVB mode, possibly something likeAMDThe second generation Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO2 for short).
In addition, @OneRaichu, who has been tracking Intel CPU rumors for a long time, broke the news on Twitter that the 13th-generation Raptor Lake CPU may include a special SKU, and its turbo clock speed may be as high as 6 GHz.
As the first x86 processor to pass this mark, it is expected to put a lot of pressure on AMD Zen 4 Ryzen. After all, during the earlier Computex 2022 demo, the red team only released data on multi-threaded 5.5 GHz.
Of course, with the optimization of the process, AMD is still likely to hit higher frequencies with the Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors (rumored that a single core can soar to 5.6-5.8 GHz).
Finally, it is said that AMD intends to bring the Ryzen 7000 series Zen 4 CPU equipped with 3D V-Cache stack cache at the same time. At that time, the red and blue factories are bound to expand more on the matter of “who has the stronger game processor” Fierce competition.
