Intel's 13th Gen Raptor Lake Lineup Leaks
Courtesy of Wccftech, we now have a complete picture of what Intel is planning to announce on the 27th of this month. The information is extremely detailed and covers no less than 14 different processor SKUs, ranging from the Core i9-13900K/KF to the Core i5-13400/F. All of the CPUs except the Core i5-13400/F and the upcoming Core i3 models will support memory speeds of up to DDR5 5600, whereas the lower end parts will be limited to DDR5 4800. All 13th Gen Intel CPUs should also support DDR4 3200 memory. Just as with the 12th Gen CPUs, the 13th Gen KF and F will not support ECC memory and of course, no IGP.
There's nothing that really stands out when looking at the specs and most things are expected based on earlier rumours. The Core i9-13900K/KF will indeed boost up to 5.8 GHz on up to two cores and all P-cores will boost up to 5.4 GHz, with the E-cores boosting up to 4.3 GHz. The Core i7-13700K/KF will have a much bigger gap here, compared to the the Core i7-12700K/KF versus the Core i9-12900K/KF where there was a 200 MHz boost frequency gap, which has now been extended to 400 MHz, as the Core i7-13700K/KF only boosts up to 5.4 GHz on two cores. Interestingly, the base clock frequency for the P-cores seems to have dropped 200 MHz on theK/KF parts, compared to 12th Gen equivalents in the product stack. For the remaining details, have a look at the data provided below.

The non-K options look attractive as well to be honest.
Interesting differentiator seems that the K series and higher end non K models have ECC support, whereas the KF do not. Linus ripped Intel for slowing adoption rates of ECC, maybe that's changing?
Also interesting that 13900K E 2C max is the same as 16C.
In this case it will cause trouble to AMD for anyone interested at around or a bit less i5 12600K performance!

Whats up with the 13600K... single core 5.1Ghz, all core boost is also 5.1Ghz. Are these allocated silicon limitations per sku or Intel intentionally keeping the higher clocks on the higher core count variants?
Here's my 12700K running very close to base frequencies (3.6/2.7 GHz) under Prime95 AVX2 at 125W after configuring load voltage correction in motherboard settings to the specification limit.
A buddy of mine had to cut into the frame of his case to fit a 3070. I told him his GPU/CPU are probably throttling like hell in case designed for much smaller HSF assemblies. That means he gets no where near review numbers without buying a whole different case and cooling setup. He wouldn’t believe me.
In the screenshot I simply simulated such need by setting that correction up to the maximum allowed limit, in addition to disabling TVB Voltage Optimization (it decreases voltage by about 1.5 mV/C if the processor is running below 100C).I did limit power in the test to 125W as the data from HWinfo shows. I don't know what worse power virus than Prime95/SmallFFT AVX2 there is.
Just curious how much better its gonna be or more like similar.
---------------------
Intentionally like always, but this time the 2C Turbo restriction to be the same with nT it seems kinda strange decision.

ECC is really a "prosumer" feature, just the fact that Zen (desktop) CPU's support it should be good enough as long as AMD doesn't forces their users to always get pro chips for ECC.
Any how RL is of zero interest, this gen, Zen 4 v-cache all the way, but I do eagerly await the (delayed) Meteor Lake with it's chiplet design.
