Intel 13th-Gen Raptor Lake Processor Overview

Raptor Lake is Intel’s 13th generation of processors, and it’s one of the most exciting hardware launches of the year. Following up on the momentum it built with its Alder Lake line of CPUs, Intel is looking to retain some of the hard-fought performance crowns. It’s got new and stiffer competition, though, in the form of AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series of Zen 4 CPUs, which have already impressed for their efficiency and performance.

The Core i9-13900K is billed as the “world’s fastest gaming CPU,” but if you’re buying one only to game with, you’re massively underutilizing it. Professionals, workstations, and creators will all benefit from the sheer magnitude of power available. Streamers, for example, can comfortably look beyond using dual-PC setups. This one CPU can do it all.

Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake Features

There are many specs, details, and performance metrics to get through

• Up to 24 cores (a combination of P (performance) and E (efficient) cores) and 32-threads.
• Intel Thread Director optimizes workloads by helping the OS distribute loads to optimal cores.
• Intel Core i9-13900K is the “world’s fastest gaming CPU” with a 5.8GHz clock speed on the P-cores.
• DDR4 3200 and DDR5 5600 support.
• PCIe 4.0 (up to 4 lanes) and PCIe 5.0 (up to 16 lanes) support.
• P-cores, E-cores, graphics, and memory can be overclocked on Z690 and Z790 chipsets.
• XMP 3.0 support.
• Integrated graphics capable of driving 8K60 HDR video and four simultaneous 4K60 displays.
• Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E.

Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake: Release date

Prices vary, with the Intel Core i5-13600KF starting at just under $300 and its K variant at just over $300. The range-topping Core i9 starts at around $560. The difference between the K and KF variants is that the KF CPUs don’t have integrated graphics. So if you’re building a gaming PC with a dedicated GPU, you can save yourself a little money.

AMD Radeon RX 6800 Graphics Card Overview

The Radeon RX 6800 is a high-end graphics card by AMD, launched on October 28th, 2020. Built on the 7 nm process, and based on the Navi 21 graphics processor, in its Navi 21 XL variant, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate.

AMD Ryzen 7000 Overview

The new generation of Ryzen chips also represent a big shift in how AMD integrates GPUs on their chips. The days of APUs with G suffixes attached to the model names are long gone. Now, all AMD chips are getting integrated GPUs. Just like Intel chips, they’re going to come with a GPU, meaning that you don’t need an external GPU anymore to fire up your PC.

Not only that, but they’ll also be pretty good integrated GPUs, thanks to them being based on AMD’s RDNA 2 architecture rather than its older Vega architecture. You still shouldn’t expect to get a gaming powerhouse out of just these parts. They’re still going to be too weak for most serious gaming purposes, and if you’re building a proper gaming PC, you should definitely get yourself a discreet GPU, be it from Nvidia or AMD itself—but at least you’ll be able to fire up your PC and have a backup if you don’t have or need one.Intel Core i9-13900K

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4000 Series Overview

NVidia’s RTX 4090 is the new flagship of a new generation of NVidia graphics cards based on its Ada Lovelace architecture. It brings with it new technologies, new enhancements, and a big uplift in general GPU performance. It’s looking to support the next generation of games with big improvements to ray tracing and deep learning super sampling (DLSS) performance in particular.

The NVidia RTX 4090 is shaping up to be the most powerful GeForce card ever, and all signs point towards it being the new king of the GPU jungle. All that’s left is to test AMD’s latest, and we can determine who belongs on top. As the NVidia GeForce RTX 4000 flagship, the RTX 4090 represents the best from team green’s new pixel pushers based on its new Ada Lovelace architecture.

Specifications

The RTX 4090 is based on NVidia’s new Ada Lovelace architecture built on the latest TSMC 4nm process. That allows for unprecedented efficiency and a much more compact design. The RTX 4090 has more than 50% more CUDA cores than the RTX 3090, and it manages that while increasing clock speeds dramatically. Memory configurations are much the same, with 24GB of GDDR6X running with a 384-bit width.

Performance

The RTX 4090 is around 68% faster than the RTX 3090 Ti at 4K and close to 90% faster than the RTX 3090. That’s a huge generational leap, much more than we typically see. In many cases, it’s not just a higher number — it’s a performance advantage that makes a big difference. In Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K with all of the settings maxed out, for example, the RTX 4090 managed a 78 frames per second average. In the previous generation, there wasn’t a single GPU that could crack 60 fps in this game with all the sliders turned up.

Power draw

NVidia recommends an 850W power supply at a minimum for anyone running this graphics card, but the 450W power draw is no more than was already pulled by the RTX 3090 Ti, so it’s not an enormous increase over the previous generation.

More About Update

We have to stress that all of this information is only based on rumor. Nvidia hasn’t said anything about the RTX 4090 Ti yet. And if this GPU does ever be released, we will need to wait at least until the last quarter of 2023.
