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.

For entry level and mid-level buyers raptor lake chips like the 13100, 13400, and 13600 will offer good bang for your buck especially paired with cheaper DDR4 ram and discounted 600 series B boards
If anything meteor lake is probably going to be the one that most people skip (enthusiasts already have a stable platform and low to mid level will chase the bang for your buck and not the latest and greatest)
13600 non-k obviously. The 13900 and 13700 non K's are in the list. :D
ECC memory with 1-bit correction requires extra memory chip(s) to store a 9th bit which is used as parity, plus it requires active validation by the CPU's memory controller and being enabled by the OS to handle the result. ECC memory checks for data integrity for the entire lifecycle of a block of memory, from the time it is written until the last time it is read back.ECC is pretty pointless if the hardware isn't verified for it, which is the case for Ryzen.
Intel offer ECC support on certain Alder Lake CPUs, but it needs a compatible motherboard and of course ECC memory modules to work.Only motherboards with the W680 chipset supports it, but there are very few of these available in retail. Supermicro have a couple, and I think Asrock and Gigabyte have announced/released(?) one each. Unfortunately there is nothing from Asus and MSI. Asus WS motherboards have been very solid in the past, so I wish they did.
PR info fed via tech articles? Absolutely.
I mean sure I have a 12600k now and IF in the far future I can get a 13900k for like 100 - 150 bucks I might get it...though chances are by that time we will have moved up so much in performance per watt that it would be a much better choice to just upgrade.
Its kinda like how SLI / Crossfire was rather silly back in the day and everyone said to just get a single newer gpu then another older gpu.
Meteorlake has been ermm hyped by intel since before alderlake was even out and you still see new information floating about on it, raptorlake is the boring more of the same update but meteorlake seems to be genuinely a step forward.
also I dont understand how you can make that last remark about meteorlake but then now see that that applies way more logically to raptorlake.yes, a year from now, I just dont understand why you would jump onboard now when you havent for alderlake...Like I said already, meteorlake seems ot genuinely be an evolution, raptorlake is more of the same that alderlake already is, so why opt in now when you havent done so already for alderlake.
Its kinda the same with Intel ARC, why would you get intel ark soon tm with the new stuff from AMD and Nvidia around the corner, you waited this long already for a new gpu that the A770 would even be an interesting upgrade for you....so why would you get that now with indeed something probably much better on the horizon.I guess... but DDR5 is becoming faster and cheaper so idk if you want to buy that.
I have ddr4 with alderlake and its fine but there is a sense of it being old now.
For the consumer, choosing a processor is identical to choosing shoes. They are praised in vain if you buy them two sizes smaller or larger.
Regarding consumption, my system with i5-12500 consumed 5.5 KW during the whole month of August for almost 7 hours of daily operation. I think I can foot the bill. :(
Update: my wattmeter report 0.864 Kw for september.
Update 2: maybe not www.guru3d.com/news-story/ryzen-7000-could-rumored-to-run-very-hot.html
