With a Meteor Lake for the desktop whose existence has not yet been confirmed (at least for this year), it has long been speculated that Intel would instead launch a raptor lake sodawhich now aims to see the light in the month of August or during the third quarter of 2023.
The Raptor Lake refresh shouldn’t come as any surprise, so, following the logic, it would have to be just an upgraded version of Intel’s refreshed generation of processors. This opens the door to reusing motherboards built for Alder Lake (firmware update may be badly needed here) and current Raptor Lake ones. The alleged release date for August 2023 has been known through tweets published by some leakers.
As a refresh of an existing technology that it is, the Raptor Lake renovation would still use the “Intel 7” compute node and they would implement small optimizations that will make them somewhat faster than current models. The compatibility with LGA 1700/1800 motherboards It is something that everyone takes for granted, although prudence must always be maintained until the official announcement.
Among the processor models belonging to the future Raptor Lake refreshment there would be models that would work at 35, 65 and 125 watts. The true generational leap on the desktop will possibly arrive next year and we’ll see with which generation seeing that the Meteor Lake desktops have been cancelled. These latest rumors surrounding the Raptor Lake refresh reinforce the fact that, if nothing else, Meteor Lake for desktop has been delayed.
We’ll probably hear about Intel’s plans for its desktop processors in the future. Vision event that the company itself will hold from May 8 to 10 in the US city of Orlando, in the state of Florida. On the 9th of the aforementioned month, he aims to be chosen by the chip giant to clarify its launch plans regarding its desktop processors.
