We are here in Israel for Intel’s Technology Tour 2022. There, the company shares new information about its latest products, many of which have been embargoed until later. However, the company did share a slide touting that Raptor Lake ran at 6 GHz on stock settings and set a world overclocking record at 8 GHz using liquid nitrogen (here, the 13th Gen Intel processor in detail). Notably, the 6 GHz peak is 300 MHz faster than his 5.7 GHz on AMD’s Ryzen 7000 processor.
You can see the 6GHz stock clock and the 8GHz world record listed in the last entry in the timeline above. The Israel Development Center (IDC) is the design engine behind a long line of Intel products, dating back to his 8088 that started it all in 1979 (review here). That line-up continues to this day and includes famous names such as Pentium MXX, Banias and Sandy Bridge.
All of this will culminate, at least for now, in Intel’s soon-to-be-formally announced 13th generation Raptor Lake processors, though the company apparently has other processors like Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake, and more. We have many designs in the pipeline. company roadmap.
Aside from the stock 6 GHz peak operating clock and a teaser about Raptor Lake’s new 8 GHz overclocking record (I’m not sure if this is the overall world record or just the world record for Intel’s 10nm chips), the company has not yet shared many details. Naturally, we’ll have more information at the NDA conference over the next few days, and we’ll share that information soon.
Intel has been very positive about the details so far, sharing some interesting details like the image above. This handwritten checklist is the initial list of design goals for Alder Lake.
Intel has also shared more information about its design and validation process, and in the slide above touts that backwards compatibility with Alder Lake has cut Raptor Lake’s development cycle by eight months. I’m here.
We will be attending this event over the next few days and will be posting more articles soon.
