AMD Zen4 is one move away! Intel 13th Generation Core Conscience Continues to Support DDR4-Intel, Memory, DDR4, Raptor Lake

Intel’s 12th-generation Core first launched support for DDR5 memory, but as a transition, it also supports DDR4, and users can choose freely.

In the second half of this year, Intel will release the Raptor Lake 13th-generation Core, and there have been reports that it will continue to support DDR5/DDR4 at the same time, and now it has finally been confirmed.

An Intel internal meeting map circulating on the Internet details the specifications of the Raptor Lake-S desktop platform, includingIn the memory part, the supported frequency of DDR5 has been increased from the starting 4800MHz to 5600MHz, while DDR4-3200 has been retained.

Judging from the current news, the AMD Zen4 architecture Ruilong 7000 series will most likely only support DDR5 memory. Although its price will drop significantly, there are still uncertainties, which also limits users’ choices.

Of course, it is not ruled out that AMD deliberately releases smoke bombs to hide support for DDR4 memory, because it is reported that AMD is already testing the Zen4 processor with the old AM4 interface, which must be matched with DDR4 memory.

other aspects,The 13th generation Core will continue to increase the number of cores (up to 8 large, 16 small, 24 cores and 32 threads), continue to increase the L2/L3 cache (up to 32/36MB respectively), and continue to strengthen core and memory overclocking (every generation says so), Add more chipsets PCIe 4.0 bus,Optional independent Thunderbolt 4 controller (USB4 compatible).

In terms of PCIe 5.0 bus, the processor still supports 20, of which 16 are allocated to the graphics card and 4 are allocated to the SSD.

There have been rumors before that the Intel Z790 motherboard will also support PCIe 5.0 SSD, but I didn’t see it here.

The question is: will you wait for the Ryzen 7000 or the 13th generation Core?
