The second half of the year will be devoted at Intel at the launch of the 13th generation Intel Core processors with a platform Raptor Lake which will take up the ingredients of the current Alder Lake by enhancing them.
Same 10nm Enhanced Superfin engraving, same hybrid architecture but more cores (up to 24 instead of 16) and a number of optimizations…Raptor Lake should already offer a nice performance boost while waiting for Meteor Lake and its engraving in 7 nm next year.
Both Alder Lake and Raptor Lake are representative of Intel’s revival of expertise in x86 processors, after the painful years of 14 nm blocking, and CEO Pat Gelsinger wants to do everything to demonstrate their qualities and make people forget the rise of competitor AMD and its Ryzen processors.
Mobile processors before the end of the year
Intel is therefore preparing the launch of the different versions of Raptor Lake, starting with the processors for desktop PCs expected from October. During the presentation of the quarterly financial results, the leader of the firm also indicated that the variants would arrive very quickly behind and would be launched before the end of the year, and therefore probably during the fourth quarter.
This would mark a faster pace compared to Alder whose first desktop processors debuted in October 2021 while mobile versions didn’t arrive until February 2022 after an official presentation at the CES show in Las Vegas.
The Santa Clara giant could therefore be tempted to force the pace to settle on the market before the arrival of Ryzen 7000 with Zen 4 architecture from AMD, whose mobile versions Dragon Range and Phoenix will probably only be available in 2023.
