The massive image: Intel beforehand confirmed that Rocket Lake is barely a stopgap as a result of Meteor Lake not being prepared on time. Leaks at the moment are suggesting that many Thirteenth-gen chips will use the identical dies as their Alder Lake predecessors, with some solely that includes minor frequency bumps.
Check entries of Intel’s Raptor Lake H-series CPUs have been noticed in Geekbench’s database, revealing a number of the specs of the upcoming cellular chips. The system used for the benchmarks is labeled ‘Samsung Electronics 960XFH’, which is probably going a growth platform or an unreleased pocket book.
The benchmark scores are nothing to jot down dwelling about, however that could possibly be because of the early firmware or an inadequate cooling answer. Nevertheless, the brand new Thirteenth-gen processors confirmed considerably greater enhance clocks than their predecessors. Intel’s flagship Core i9-13900HK had a most frequency of about 5.4 GHz throughout testing, 400 MHz greater than the i9-12900HK. In the meantime, the i7-13700H bought as much as round 5 GHz, 300 MHz greater than the current-gen i7-12700H.

Core counts keep the identical as each the i9 and the i7 function six P-cores and eight E-cores, an identical to their Alder Lake counterparts. The extra attention-grabbing half is the cache sizes revealed by the Geekbench listings, because the Raptor Lake SKUs have an L2 cache dimension of 1.25 MB per P-core.
Latest leaks have steered the brand new Raptor Cove P-core would not carry that many enhancements to the precise core microarchitecture, with Intel primarily simply upgrading the reminiscence subsystem. A kind of upgrades consists of elevating the L2 cache dimension to 2 MB per core.
If Geekbench’s readings are appropriate, it might imply that these new processors will nonetheless use the Golden Cove structure. That, in flip, would imply that Raptor Lake H-series chips might simply be rebranded Alder Lake SKUs with greater clock speeds. Rumors point out that Intel is planning on doing the identical with lower-end (locked i5 and under) Thirteenth-gen desktop CPUs.
Intel beforehand confirmed that it could launch Raptor Lake cellular processors by the top of the yr, though it is unclear if this consists of the H-series.
