INTEL 13TH GEN CORE ‘RAPTOR LAKE’ SERIES IN A NUTSHELL
In the blue corner, Intel’s direct response to AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series is its own 13th Gen Core ‘Raptor Lake’ series of processors. However, unlike AMD’s brand new Zen 4 microarchitecture that’s now based on a 5nm process, Intel’s Raptor Lake is “merely” another refinement of their 10nm process node, also known as Intel 7, and the performance hybrid architecture that debuted with last generation’s Alder Lake chips. Raptor Lake has more of everything compared to Alder Lake - faster P-cores, more E-cores, more L2 and L3 cache, and faster DDR5 support. However, the underlying architecture and technology remains the same.
