We’re nearing the launch windows of next-gen CPUs from both Intel and AMD, and the leaks are plentiful once again. Yet while we now know pretty much everything about the Ryzen 7000 Series after AMD’s official reveal, Intel remains quiet about its 13th gen CPUs. It’s thus up to industry leak sources to give us an idea of what to expect, and we can form a fairly good picture at this point. The release date, specs, and general pricing for Intel the Intel Raptor Lake appear to be out in the wild now.
The info stems from multiple sources telling pretty much the same story. Tom’s Hardware and WCCFTech report from different sources that the Intel Raptor Lake release date will be on October 20. That would fall on a Thursday, and is traditionally a common day for tech releases. Additionally, Moore’s Law is Dead, known for his prolific 12th gen Alder Lake leaks, reports Saturday October 22. Either way, these are close enough together and we can see a point of convergence.
As for initial Raptor Lake public reveals, September 27 or 28 appear to be the set dates. Taking a look at Intel’s website, there’s an Innovation event scheduled to span those two days. It appears we could see the Raptor Lake reveal on either day. It’s important to note that AMD launches the Ryzen 7000 Series on September 27, so that’s a good guess if Intel’s plan is to divert attention from the competition.
It’s important to keep in mind that the following specs are based off of leaked info and incomplete slides, likely with some placeholder info. We’ll broadly cover the specs so you have an idea of how Intel Raptor Lake performance will supersede Alder Lake and compare to the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series.
One of the most commonly floated leaked stats is that the
