Intel's alleged plans for next-generation Alder Lake processors and Raptor Lake chips that are rumored to follow as the 13th generation with a possible 24-core flagship have been scuttled in a major leak. As always, treat this Moore's Law Is Dead news dump (reported by VideoCardz) with a fair amount of caution, but this YouTuber has been on the money with Intel in the past and seems to be getting fairly regular updates from his inside sources. . Let's start with Alder Lake, with these processors scheduled to launch around Halloween, with a possible initial reveal on October 25th, with 'K' series desktop processors said to be the first to come out (with mobile chips to follow). in 2022). ). We've heard that before, of course, as well as claims of a 20% performance boost for single-threaded jobs and up to twice the performance of multi-threaded (with better power efficiency too) compared to Rocket Lake. Moore's Law further states that Alder Lake's flagship desktop processor will have eight full-power cores (Golden Cove) along with eight low-power (Gracemont) cores (known as 8+8), with a second configuration offering six cores. full power without low power (6 + 0). Needless to say, there will be other processor variants within these large configurations, and it's the Core i9 that Moore's law predicts will have 8 + 8 cores, with the Core i7 weighing in at 8 + 4 and Core processors. i5 maybe 6+4 (leaker less sure about the latter). The chips in the laptop will work with two main configurations, namely 6 full power cores and 8 low power cores or 6 + 8, as well as 2 + 8 chips (obviously what is needed to fight effectively is increased reliance on energy efficient cores battery longevity). These mobile chips will be the 'H' and 'U' models respectively, but there will also be the 'HX' range for the high-end, offering desktop performance levels with an unlocked 8+8 configuration and 45W to 65W TDPs. In short, Intel intends to play a major role in the heavy gaming laptop territory. Don't forget, we also recently heard that Alder Lake may come with a push from Intel to use refurbished power supplies.
Raptor Chapter
Raptor Lake will theoretically be the successor to Alder Lake, and as we've heard before, it'll be a simple upgrade to the 12th-gen chips, though Moore's Law thinks that could push things further than rumors previously suggested. The YouTuber predicts that Raptor Lake will move its high-powered core from Golden Cove (Alder Lake) to Raptor Cove, ushering in strong IPC (Instructions Per Clock) gains. Raptor Lake will stick to low-power Gracemont cores, but will use more, and the 13th-gen flagship is expected to run on 8 high-power cores, but 16 low-power cores for a total of 24 cores. Moore's Law notes that this doubling of "small" Gracemont cores seeks much better multi-threaded performance. Raptor Lake is aiming for a late 2022 release, the leaker claims, and that could put it one-on-one with AMD's Zen 4 processors, which are also due to emerge late next year. Since speculation strongly suggests that there will be no further updates to Zen 3+, this would leave a major gap between the current Ryzen 5000 (Zen 3) and Zen 4 chips. So the idea is that AMD could release the refreshed Ryzen 5000. XT. models in early 2022 to take on Alder Lake, and it would make sense for these to use the groundbreaking 3D Chiplet technology that AMD wowed us with at Computex.
