Intel will expand the Raptor Lake desktop family with the inclusion of new locked 65W and 35W CPUs. The Company also unveiled its 13th gen mobile lineup which includes the HX, H, P, and U-series, led by the launch of the new flagship Intel Core i9-13980HX, the first 24-core processor for a laptop.
Desktop 65W, 35W CPUs
Intel unveiled 16 new locked desktop processors in total, with 10 of them being a 65W TDP (Non-K), Intel will also launch 6 low-power 35W variants (T-series).
The budget 65W and 35W CPUs will have the same core count and threads as their unlocked counterparts, albeit they have reduced clock speeds, and of course lower power consumption.
With the addition of these locked processors, the updated Raptor Lake lineup will have a total of 22 different SKUs, not to mention the Core i9-13900KS. Intel is making sure to cover every segment in the market especially the mainstream one, where it looks like you can’t go $10 up or down without finding a new SKU from Intel.
This also confirms that the highly anticipated Core i5-13500 and Core i5-13400 have a sub $250 price tag, with the Core i5-13500 costing $232, Core i5-13400 being a mere $11 cheaper costing $221, and the Core i5-13400F (without integrated graphics) costing $196.
The 13th gen Raptor Lake is compatible with previous 12th-gen Alder Lake LGA 1700 socket, and offers support for both DDR4 or DDR5 memory.
