Intel today launched its 13th Generation Core "Raptor Lake" mobile processor family. Mobile (notebook) processors make the bulk of Intel's client processor sales, and so the company is targeting a variety of form-factors and markets. The series begins with the 13th Gen Core HX line of enthusiast-segment processors for gamers, on-site creators, and mobile workstations. These processors come with core-counts of up to 8P+16E, making them the first 24-core mobile processors. The chips are classified as having 55 W TDP, with maximum turbo power values set as high as 155 W.

The 13th Gen Core HX family includes three 8P+16E processor models, led by the Core i9-13980HX, a unique 8P+12E model leading the Core i7 pack, the i7-13700HX; some 8P+8E models, followed by 6P+8E and 6P+4E models making up the Core i5 lineup. All parts have 55 W base power, and 157 W max turbo power, at least three of these get the full vPro Enterprise feature-set.



The H-series Core processors with a power-class of 45 W, makes up the main workhorse of the lineup for Intel. These chips are based on a new silicon that has a 6P+8E compute die, and an on-package PCH. The H-segment gets as many as 11 SKUs, let by the 6P+8E Core i9 SKUs, three out of four Core i7 SKUs being 6P+8E as well, but with lower frequencies; and a 6P+4E Core i7 SKU. The Core i5 lineup in the H-segment features three 4P+8E SKUs, and one 4P+4E SKU. The Core i9 and Core i7 H-series SKUs feature 45 W base power, and 115 W max turbo power.



The P-segment of processors target thin-and-light laptops in the 28 W power segment, and consist of four SKUs spanning the Core i7 and Core i5 brand extensions. The top Core i7 part is 6P+8E, followed by a 4P+8E part. The Core i5 series includes a couple of 4P+8E parts. Both of these come with 28 W base power, and 64 W turbo power. Below these are the all-important U-segment targeting ultraportables, with their power rating as low as 15 W, with up to 55 W turbo power. These chips are interestingly based on a smaller version of the "Raptor Lake" silicon that physically only has 2P+8E as the core-configuration. Intel also updated its Evo mobile platform specification to include more instant availability features, responsiveness, battery life, improvements to the display, camera, and sensor specifications, and improved connectivity options.

The 1370P looks interesting.
 
And just exactly how much is all this cookie-less, milk-coated goodness gonna cost us ?

Meanwhile, the 13650HX looks completely unnecessary or at least badly branded. Doesn't Intel usually reserve the 6-hundred moniker to i5's?

Yes, it is basically an i5 with 50% fewer EUs and 100Mhz more boost. smh
 
Yawn. No memory controller improvements, no iGPu improvements. Hard pass. Wake me up with 192eu meteor lake comes out.
 
I think PL2 "TDP" figures have comedown for top end SKUs.
So the only improvement is instead of power throttling by 60% itll power throttle by 50% instead. WOOOOO.

Yeah, CPUs that only improve the CPU... The horror! :wtf:
 
I’m curious to see how or if AMD competes with Raptor Lake mobile! But at least Intel isn’t stuck on 14nm… I’m looking forward to the next generation, Meteor Lake!

I feel AMD will counter with what they are good with,
1. Price,
2. More power friendly,
3. More cores.

At least from reviews, it can be said that at lower power limits, AMD chips seem to lose less performance. And on mobile space where there are hard power limits, it actually gives AMD the advantage. Sure Intel chips can still hit the advertised clockspeed, but from experience, it only does that momentarily on laptops. And while it offers better performance, it also takes a toll on the battery life.
 
Yes it seems that Intel integrated Graphics, after the huge improvement in 12gen, is stalling in 13gen, e.g. 96eus (which with +20% units gets +60%~ in benches) remains unavailable at i5 prices.
However there are (according to Intel claims while waiting for reviewers to get samples) a number of important improvements:
- Memory: return to 128GB MAX RAM, DDR5 (with Mem controller, Dual-channel on chip, higher speeds than DDR4) and DDR4 speeds
- cores: little improvements in numbers of cores, but some significant and probably efficient improvements in speeds and in load sharing (e.g. "Thread Director")
