Intel 13th-Gen Raptor Lake Features

Sunday, October 23, 2022

 


The intel 12th-generation desktop Core (Alder Lake) launched last year has gained a significant performance increase. Intel 3th generation desktop Core (Rocket Lake-S) is manufactured with 7 nm process technology and its performance is more than Ryzen 9 5950X which has 16 cores and 32 threads. The performance of the i9–13900K is 41% higher than the predecessor i9–12900K at full power consumption. The power consumption of 8 performance cores running at 4.8GHz frequency is 172 watts. The 13th generation Core has three types of processors such as i9–13900K/KF, i7–13700K/KF, i5–13600K/KF

13th Gen Core Architecture

  1. The appearance of the 13th Gen is also consistent with the 12th-generation Core.
  2. Intel uses the hybrid design of performance core (P core) and energy efficiency core (E core).
  3. Based on the 7nm process
  4. The energy efficiency cores are 14.
  5. The frequency of the energy-efficient cores has also been greatly increased.
  6. The L2 cache and L3 cache have been greatly improved, the L2 cache doubled to 20MB, and the L3 cache increased to 24MB
  7. The 13th generation Core supports both 600/700 chip series
  8. The 13TH generation uses the Intel Superfine transistors, and faster Raptor Cove cores (P performance cores).
  9. The frequency can reach 600MHz
  10. The energy-efficient cores (E cores) are increased to 16
  11. The 13th generation supports 20 PCIe 4.0 channels and 5 USB 3.2 Gen 2 *2 Interface.
  12. Hardware thread scheduler
  13. The Intel new thread scheduler, Intel Thread Director can make full use of the small cores. It supports Microsoft’s latest version of Windows 11 22H2 which has a built-in efficient thread scheduling function. This will bring users a more efficient experience under the Windows operating system. The Thread Director can meet the multi-threading requirements. For example, if you want to render the video in the foreground, turn on PS to make pictures during rendering. The role of the Thread Director is to automatically move to high-performance E-core for rendering. The P core is to ensure the stability and smoothness of the foreground work.

Other features

  1. The 13th generation Core supports DDR5 memory and DDR4 memory.
  2. Support PCI-E 5.0×16 with a maximum speed of 126.03 GB/s.
  3. The Resizable Bar technology can accelerate the communication between GPU and CPU
  4. The count of PCI-E 4.0 channels reached 4, it also allows PCI-E expansion.
  5. Because of the performance increase, the power consumption also increases, therefore, it is recommended to use a radiator or Water cooling if possible.
  6. For overclocking you can use the built-in Intel Extreme Tuning Utility; you can pull the frequency of the P core at 5.3GHz and the E core to 4.1GHz
  7. Through XMP, you can easily get a memory frequency of 6000MHz
The 13th Gen Core i9–13900 elevates the performance to a new level. If you are a gaming enthusiast or want to produce video content the 13th Gen will definitely give you maximum advantages.
