Raptor Lake
Raptor Lake is Intel's codename for the 13th and 14th generations of Intel Core processors as well as some Core Series 1 and 2 processors. It is based on a hybrid architecture, utilizing Raptor Cove performance cores and Gracemont efficient cores. Some lower-end SKUs branded as Raptor Lake are based on Alder Lake, with Golden Cove P-cores and Alder Lake-equivalent cache and memory configurations. Like Alder Lake, Raptor Lake is fabricated using Intel's Intel 7 process. Raptor Lake features up to 24 cores (8 performance cores plus 16 efficiency cores) and 32 threads and is socket compatible with Alder Lake systems (LGA 1700, BGA 1744, BGA 1964). Like earlier generations, Raptor Lake processors also need accompanying chipsets.
Raptor Lake CPUs contain a clock tree circuit vulnerable to accelerated aging and permanent damage at elevated voltages. The BIOS code and microcode used with these CPUs supplied improperly high voltages, resulting in instability as the circuit degrades over time. Intel claims that aging issues have been since fixed in the latest BIOS and microcode patches, which can be installed by updating the motherboard's BIOS. Already-damaged CPUs cannot be fixed by a patch and have to be replaced.
Raptor Lake launched on October 20, 2022. On January 3, 2023, at CES 2023, Intel announced additional desktop CPUs and mobile CPUs. The 14th generation was launched on October 17, 2023. Raptor Lake's microarchitecture was developed by Intel's R&D center (IDC) in Haifa, Israel.
In September 2022, an Intel spokesman revealed that Raptor Lake was created to benefit from process improvements before Meteor Lake arrives since the next microarchitecture was likely to be delayed.
Raptor Lake competes with AMD's Ryzen 7000 series that was launched about one month earlier on September 27, 2022.
The 14th generation Raptor Lake Refresh is the last processor family to use the old "Core i" branding scheme in use since 2008. The Raptor Lake-U Refresh series is the first processor family to use the new "Core 3/5/7" branding scheme introduced in mid 2023.
On December 14, 2023, Intel announced the Raptor Cove-based Xeon E-2400 series for entry-level servers.
On September 27, 2022, at their Innovation event, Intel officially revealed six unlocked Raptor Lake SKUs launching for desktop on October 20, 2022. The highest-end Raptor Lake SKU, the 13900KS, which can hit up to 6.0 GHz at stock configuration, debuted in 2023.
