Intel’s Raptor Lake Reportedly Has 350W Turbo Mode, But Only on New Motherboards
According to a new report, Intel’s 13th Gen Raptor Lake processors have a secret sauce that will deliver unbeatable performance in demanding applications. A new 350W power cap that can be triggered by a new turbo mode that increases the CPU clock. However, there is a problem. 350W mode only works on select motherboards with Intel’s 700 series chipsets.
The new 350W MTP mode will boost the performance of Intel’s next-generation Core i9 processors by around 15% (so expect core clocks above 6.50 GHz in this mode). However, your time is limited. pro hard barThis mode will also require a very good cooling system, so we speculate that the majority of next-gen Core i9 owners will have to go with either an advanced liquid cooling system or a massive air cooling system. will be
Intel’s 13th Generation Core ‘Raptor Lake’ processors are designed to be compatible with Intel 600-series chipset-based motherboards originally designed for 12th Generation Core ‘Alder Lake’ CPUs. 150W processor base power (PBP) for base clock and 241W maximum thermal power (MTP) for turbo clock. But to boost the maximum performance of the upcoming Raptor Lake processors, Intel is enabling his all-new 350W MTP on select motherboards with his flagship Z790 chipset.
In fact, Intel’s Core i9-12900KS already supports the company’s Enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost (ETVB) feature that boosts MTP beyond 241W. seconds. With Intel’s next-gen Core i9 CPU, the 350W velociraptor mode could offer a more tangible performance boost, but again for a limited time. It will probably take enough time for Raptor Lake to become very competitive with the best desktop CPUs and best workstation CPUs for gaming.
Virtually all manufacturers of enthusiast grade motherboards equip their products with very sophisticated voltage regulation modules (VRMs) that can deliver hundreds of watts (some even over 1kW) to CPUs. This 350W turbo mode support. It remains to be seen how expensive these motherboards will be.
