Intel today launched its 13th Generation Core "Raptor Lake" mobile processor family. Mobile (notebook) processors make the bulk of Intel's client processor sales, and so the company is targeting a variety of form-factors and markets. The series begins with the 13th Gen Core HX line of enthusiast-segment processors for gamers, on-site creators, and mobile workstations. These processors come with core-counts of up to 8P+16E, making them the first 24-core mobile processors. The chips are classified as having 55 W TDP, with maximum turbo power values set as high as 155 W.

The 13th Gen Core HX family includes three 8P+16E processor models, led by the Core i9-13980HX, a unique 8P+12E model leading the Core i7 pack, the i7-13700HX; some 8P+8E models, followed by 6P+8E and 6P+4E models making up the Core i5 lineup. All parts have 55 W base power, and 157 W max turbo power, at least three of these get the full vPro Enterprise feature-set.The H-series Core processors with a power-class of 45 W, makes up the main workhorse of the lineup for Intel. These chips are based on a new silicon that has a 6P+8E compute die, and an on-package PCH. The H-segment gets as many as 11 SKUs, let by the 6P+8E Core i9 SKUs, three out of four Core i7 SKUs being 6P+8E as well, but with lower frequencies; and a 6P+4E Core i7 SKU. The Core i5 lineup in the H-segment features three 4P+8E SKUs, and one 4P+4E SKU. The Core i9 and Core i7 H-series SKUs feature 45 W base power, and 115 W max turbo power.The P-segment of processors target thin-and-light laptops in the 28 W power segment, and consist of four SKUs spanning the Core i7 and Core i5 brand extensions. The top Core i7 part is 6P+8E, followed by a 4P+8E part. The Core i5 series includes a couple of 4P+8E parts. Both of these come with 28 W base power, and 64 W turbo power. Below these are the all-important U-segment targeting ultraportables, with their power rating as low as 15 W, with up to 55 W turbo power. These chips are interestingly based on a smaller version of the "Raptor Lake" silicon that physically only has 2P+8E as the core-configuration. Intel also updated its Evo mobile platform specification to include more instant availability features, responsiveness, battery life, improvements to the display, camera, and sensor specifications, and improved connectivity options.
