Intel Raptor Lake deep-dive

In this video I will take you on a Intel Raptor Lake deep-dive! We will talk about the new Raptor Cove performance cores, more Gracemont efficiency cores, a lot more L2 and L3 cache and what kind of performance we can expect from Intel's 13th gen Core CPUs. And of course we will discuss the rumored LGA 1800 socket.

Nice Video! And I see you are nearing 1000 subscribers. When you become a giant YouTuber, I can say I was there in beginning :D

Intel 12th gen is shocking, ,
especially for Notebook Laptop.

All Hail Competition!!

[rahcxyoutube]

I love all of your videos, very consise and engaging, keep it up!

[Col_Panic]

NICE!! That about covers everything! I feel up to date! I probably wouldn't have looked at Rapter Lake anywhere close to that much on my own OR watched anyone else unless I was about to build, but Im not again for a while. It was a lot crammed into a short, but comprehensive video! I'm an AMD guy as you can probably tell by all my long rambling comments. However, I'm not a fanboy and if something better for my needs/budget comes up, I WOULD like to be aware. I dont think it suits my needs, but I can now know if it may for someone else! Like I said I wouldn't have gone too far out of my way, just because I am always busy and/or tired and have to ration my little bit of free time, so I appreciate the legwork and presentation. I never regret spending my time here. Thanks!

Woo a deep dive!

Really interesting video! I find that anyone already on the platform will find this a great upgrade (although we shall see if all LGA 1700 mobos are supported, unless I misheard) and could possibly trade blows with Zen 4. If AMD are confident that they will beat ADL than it should at least approach RPL. Although, my take on this generation, whether or not Zen 4 loses by at most %5-%10, you'll still be on a longer lasting platform, which I think is far more impressive. Look how much performance you can get from AM4. AMD didn't have to change the overall cpu size from AM4 to AM5 and doesn't need to lose efficiency to bring in more performance.

That aside, what I'm more interesting is in the mid to low range, the non-k i5s seems impressive. If priced similar you'll essentially be getting more cores available to you with competing performance from team red. Yet again, we still have to see how much raw power the 6 "big" cores from Zen 4 will perform compared to 6C+4c or 6C+8c from Intel.

Exciting generation ahead of us, and hopefully all parties will always be competitive with each other. While I love the underdog that is team red, I don't ever hope for them to have a monopoly on the industry.

Since they can fit 8P+16E on there, wonder why aren't they doing something like 2P+40E (which I think takes about the same space). Would be a good option as pseudo-HEDT for those needing to work with a lot of threads. Personally I'd love that configuration for my work.

also dont forget about Intels new "DLVR" feature that reduces CPU voltage by 160mV, which translates to about a 20% to 25% drop in CPU power consumption while Up To 7% More Performance

[bluenoser]

That was very informative. I like your presentation style ... Cheers

[Tyuss]

So I have 12400 with MSI B660M - A WIFI motherboard and my understanding is that I still will be able to upgrade to Raptor lake CPU or is it still not official?

[josephkelly]

Quite excited for these new chips, I'm running a 12100 at the moment, overclocked bclk on a b660g ASUS board. Hopefully the non K raptor lake processors will still be able to overclock with the external clock generator. Cheers for your videos, very informative

[Paulmuscle]

A big concern is power consumption with next gen cpu and gpu thanks for your videos 🙂👍

[brothatwasepic]

Hi guys isthis the wrong way to think. I feel that Intel has actually been ahead in IPC by quite a bit since they launched Alder lake last year and they also supported ddr5 ddr4 transition and pcie gen 5. Now it's AMD's chance to launch and beat. Then Raptor lake will catch up etc. Pretty good competition in my opinion?

[AdamSababa]

Hey bro, great videos which I’ve just discovered. Can you recommend a book to read so I can understand the terminologies of the hardware technologies like FETs, and the things you mention in the video here?

[joechang]

While I am a fan of making good use of silicon die area in the higher priced products, I am not sure how much we can get out of further increasing L3, even though AMD is going this route. Intel L2 latency was 12 cycles at 256K, 13 for 512K and probably 14K for ~1M. The client CPU with ring has L3 around 10-11ns (18ns in the SP processors). These latency numbers are for data access. What is not published is the delay in starting access to the next level on a miss, particularly for the L3 miss. Presumably, the delay is less than the data access on a hit? So for L3 miss, how much delay is introduced before the memory controller issues an access?
With additional SRAM die in the new AMD processors, I am thinking it is time to introduce 2-tier memory, fast in package SRAM + less fast conventional DDRx. The OS / app would need to know what to put where.

[Yusufyusuf-lhdw]

Why do you think Raptor lake is delayed if it's still arriving this year? In fact zen 4 looks more delayed than raptor lake coz it's almost 2 years since zen 3 and amd hasn't released anything except for a single product with stacked cache. It's really difficult to call that a different product compared to original zen 3 because it's just a change in packaging technology.

[j_official]

Good job. I was hoping meteor lake would also be Socket compatible with lga 1700/1800. But even if not, I hope Intel 4 allows intel to improve perf per watt.

[nowherebrain]

I kinda feel they are actually going to trail a bit behind this generation... I want both companies to have similar perf...I'm just not sure this gen from intel will be that great in terms of uplift from A.L. EDIT: forgot to give you a thumbs up....done.

[Dmwntkp]

Are you sure it's only mobile for Intel DLVR ?

[slayerfog]

I was really ready to pull the trigger on a whole new system (mobo+DDR4+ I9 12900KS).... Well I am still ready to do so, but with upcoming Raptor lake and the I9 13900K, I don´t know what to do. do you recomend me to wait until rapter lake launches? if so, how much do I have to wait?

[Spido_the_spectator]

Raptor cove cores are a major improvement compared to golden cove. Multi core performance got a major boost by 30 - 40%. While IPC is more like 7% more. Those new cores are quite a must, as golden cove cores just eat power like madlads at 4, 5 GHz +
And DDR5 support is 5600, so slightly behind AMD (6000). Too bad DDR4 support wasn't pushed to 3600.
