Intel has confirmed an update to the Raptor/Alder Lake series with new specs, bringing new desktop CPUs. The full lineup might be confusing so here’s a complete recap.
Intel has added ten new SKUs with a TDP of 65W and 6 SKUs with 35W to the existing 13th Gen series.
The lineup consists of models with new suffixes, here’s what they mean:
- 1XX00KS – Special Edition (150W TDP)
- 1XX00K – Unlocked (125W TDP)
- 1XX00KF – Unlocked / no integrated GPU (125W TDP)
- 1XX00– Locked (65W TDP)
- 1XX00F – Locked / no integrated GPU (65W TDP)
- 1XX00T – Low-power variant (35W TDP)
The SKUs with 65W TDP will feature 4 to 24 cores, i.e. 8 Performance cores and 16 Efficient cores, while the TDP will range from 58W to 65W and the maximum power will go up to 219W.
The CPUs will support DDR5-5600 memory and DDR4-3200 memory. The rest of the series will be compatible with DDR5-4800 and DDR4-3200 memory. This memory speed compatibility is interesting since only the high-end SKUs will feature faster memory.
For the Core i5 series, Intel is upgrading its models from 6C/12T to 10C/16T or 14C/20T. This also brings in an updated pricing. The 12th Gen series will be offered at $223 while the 13th Gen will now cost $255.
The Core i9 models will also be getting a new price, going from $464/$489 to $564/$589. However, for the i9 series, one is not forced to upgrade to 13th Gen CPUs for compatibility since the 12th Gen can perfectly support these updated motherboards.
