Intel 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" Launch and Availability Dates Confirmed

A leaked Intel company document detailing the "go to market" (GTM) plan for its 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" desktop processors, reveals key dates associated with it. Intel will likely hold a launch event for the 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" processors on September 27, 2022 (when it's September 28 in Taiwan). This happens to be the same day AMD's Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" processors go on sale. Pre-orders for these processors will open on October 13, 2022 (or October 14 in Taiwan). This is when you'll be able to order one online. October 20 is when the processors will be available to purchase off the shelf (October 21 in Taiwan). This document does not deal with review NDAs, so we'll have to guess that reviews go live somewhere between September 27 and October 13.

Built on the same Intel 7 process as "Alder Lake," "Raptor Lake" introduces an IPC increase with its "Raptor Cove" P-cores, and a doubling in the count of its "Gracemont" E-cores, along with increases in L2 cache sizes for both the P-cores and E-core clusters. The processor is said to be built on the same LGA1700 package as the 12th Gen, and compatible with Intel 600 series chipset motherboards with a UEFI firmware update. The processors launch alongside new Intel 700-series chipset motherboards that have out-of-the-box support for them.

InVasManiLess E cores in the design will mean better efficiency by extension relative to P cores. Round 1 goes to the 12600K on efficiency.
Nope, you are absolutely horribly wrong. Less Ecores means the Pcores have to boost even higher, pushing them to even more inefficient clockspeeds territory.
InVasManiThat's not really favorable either since higher frequency is going to be better in a power limit test comparing peak multi-thread CPU utilization. Round 2 therefore goes to the 12600K once again.
Nope, you are still wrong. The 12900k will shit all over the 12600k in every MT workload, no matter what you decided to power limit it to. It's not even a question.
InVasManiI know you think W1zzard was wrong because the score isn't what you want, but perhaps trust the guys testing methodologies a bit he's ran a few benchmarks here and there.
Nope, you are yet again wrong. I don't think wizzard is wrong, he IS wrong, regardless of what I say other reviewers have verified it. Club365 scored 23600 in CBR23 at 125w. That's it, case closed.

The max turbo on the 12600K is lower than that of the 12900K. That's true of both P cores and E cores in fact. Hell the E core turbo on the 12900K is higher than the base frequency of the P core on the 12600K. Also it's with a power limit. So other reviewers tested with the same test hardware and same testing conditions!!?

What do you mean same testing condition? The only thing you should change is the power limit, and yes, my own + other reviews I already mentioned show a huge difference.

P4-630AMD you mean? I mean it seems they all need undervolting/tweaking to keep them from running too hot at stock speed....
An even more pushed design in the same 10nm node as the already hot Gen12. Do I have to remind you how Gen 11 did in 14nm?
I'm getting tired of the Intel zero-efficiency designs. Just rebrand Pentium D again.

RandallFlaggWell there's a small gaggle of Zen 4 results on Geekbench now.

Based on those, I think Raptor Lake will do well against Zen 4 when the reviews come out.

12600K on Gigabyte UD DDR4 Z690 vs 7600X on MSI MEG X670E and DDR5 :

What is up with that memory, is there something about DDR5 that makes it register as 27GB

I noticed that too. That same person has posted a bunch of benchmarks using 7600X and 7950X and they all have that anomaly.

My best guess is that they probably used the advanced boot options to limit memory. These results are pretty pointless to decipher without knowing the actual memory kits involved DDR4 vs DDR5 tells us jacksh*t about the quality of the kits for each.
