What appears to be Intel’s full suite of Lake Raptor Wizards have been leaked online from Microsoft.
We’ve already seen the release of six 13th-generation CPUs — the Intel Core i9-13900K, Core i7-13700K, and Core i5-13600K, as well as their KF versions (the ‘F’ stands for no integrated graphics) — and there will be 16 Others are coming, to make a total of 22 processors, if this list from Microsoft is correct.
shred Video Cards (Opens in a new tab) Reports, Raptor Lake processors appeared in the software giant existing (Opens in a new tab) From Intel chips supported for Windows 11 22H2The interesting thing is that the mentioned models match directly with another recent leak from motherboard maker Gigabyte.
Once again, the Gigabyte listing details all the Raptor Lake processors that motherboards will support, and with both lines matching exactlyIt seems like a good bet that this is the full range of Intel’s 13th generation CPUs.
Here is the full list in all its glory:
- Core i9-13900KF
- Core i9-13900 K
- Core i9-13900F
- Core i9-13900
- Core i9-13900T
- Core i7-13700KF
- Core i7-13700K
- Core i7-13700F
- Core i7-13700
- Core i7-13700T
- Core i5-13600KF
- Core i5-13600K
- Core i5-13600
- Core i5-13600T
- Core i5-13500
- Core i5-13500T
- Core i5-13400F
- Core i5-13400
- Core i5-13400T
- Core i3-13100F
- Core i3-13100
- Core i3-13100T
Analysis: some hints about some specs, but not too much
As mentioned, the ‘F’ models are those without integrated graphics, for people with discrete GPUs in place, and ‘K’ models unlocked (for overclocking – both of which mean ‘KF’ unlocked without an integrated GPU) , naturally). “T” models are low-power efforts for enterprise use, not aimed at consumers in other words.
For the upcoming 16 Raptor Lakes TreatmentsWhat we didn’t get were any specification details whatsoever from Microsoft – only the CPU names. However, the previous gigabyte list provided some scarce specs: the base frequency (but unfortunately not that all-important boost), as well as TDP. However, no underlying calculations of the supposed incoming chips have been confirmed.
The full expansion of the Raptor Lake range will likely happen as early as 2023, we think, and with that many new CPUs, cheaper motherboards will come as well. Meaning that folks trying to build a budget 13th gen will have more affordable options in terms of the Core i5-13500 and 13400, or actually the Core i3-13100 on the lower end, along with the B760. Motherboard (Which will again be more affordable than the Z790 models).
There’s a lot of excitement about the Core i5-13400 in particular regarding the potential to offer something very compelling in the value proposition for more budget-friendly designs.
