The entire Intel Raptor Lake CPU lineup appears to have found its way online well before release, revealing what chips will be part of team blue’s 13th Gen Core processor series. Additionally, this document also allegedly contains some information on specs including clock speeds, core counts, and more.

TDP appears to be unchanged across the range, but base frequencies are curiously generally lower than those found on 12th Gen equivalents, particularly towards the high end of the Raptor Lake lineup.
While these details do help us understand what to expect from upcoming Raptor Lake CPUs, we should treat this information with the same wariness (and seasoning of salt) that we would any other leak or rumour.
Thankfully, it shouldn’t be much longer before we find out just how powerful 13th Gen Intel Core processors are, with the chips expected to be revealed at the upcoming Intel Innovation event.
Whether they’ll be good enough to sway those looking to upgrade their gaming PC away from the temptations of the AMD Ryzen 7000 series remains to be seen. Regardless, we could be on the cusp of a very exciting period for
