Above, we can see the Core i9, i7, and i5 flagships from Intel's previous-gen family, along with what we know about the new Raptor Lake models. Intel is releasing three K-series models to start along with their graphics-less KF counterparts, with the more expansive launch coming early next year.

AMD's Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 chips only support DDR5 memory, while Raptor Lake supports DDR4 and DDR5. That gives Intel a leg up in the overall system cost category, as DDR5 still commands a price premium. However, we no longer see DDR5 shortages, and prices continue to plummet as more supply comes online and demand recedes. That means the pricing delta should get noticeably slimmer, though we fully expect DDR5 to always command a premium. Intel 13th-Gen Raptor Lake Die Pictures Raptor Lake competes with the AMD Ryzen 7000 series that was launched about one month earlier on September 27, 2022. [16] CPUs in bold below feature ECC memory support only when paired with a motherboard based on the W680 chipset. [24] Other SKUs do not support ECC memory at all.Intel is also accelerating its mobile launch, with CEO Pat Gelsinger recently announcing that the mobile platforms will launch this year. We've even seen benchmarks emerge from the mobile Raptor Lake processors. Intel 13th-Gen Raptor Lake Specifications and Features Günsch, Michael (January 4, 2023).

All mobile processors except for the HX series support the following types of memory: DDR5-5200, DDR4-3200, LPDDR5x-6400, LPDDR4x-4267. The HX processors only support: DDR5-4800 (DDR-5600 for 13850HX and above), DDR4-3200.Intel has increased its DDR5 memory support up to 5600 MT/s if you use one DIMM per channel (1DPC), a big increase over the prior 4800 MT/s speed with Alder Lake. Just as importantly, Intel increased 2DPC speeds up to 4400 MT/s, an improvement over the previous-gen 3600 MT/s. Intel will also continue to support DDR4 memory, which it predicts will coexist in the market with DDR5 until the end of 2024. This approach ensures a value option for Intel platforms, unlike AMD's all-in approach with DDR5. Alcorn, Paul (September 13, 2022).

Intel has also teased a new AI accelerator that will slot into an M.2 slot. It's hard to tell what practical purpose this would serve for most uses, though some edge use-cases might benefit. Intel hasn't shared any more information about this product, and there hasn't been any other information, so we'll have to wait to learn more.
