Intel to release Raptor Lake-S CPU update in October

After announcing a branding update and removing the classic “i” that names its processors, Intel appears to be preparing a series of updates for the Raptor Lake and Sapphire Rapids generations.

The information comes from an insider on the Chinese social network Bilibili. According to the source, the tech giant It will launch its Raptor Lake-S processors in October of this year under the 14th generation name.. It is worth noting that this will not be a big change in the architecture, it will be an “update” on models that should receive faster frequencies, lower energy consumption and lower energy consumption. higher clocked memory support.

The same goes for Sapphire Rapids CPUs, which are part of the Xeon W2500 and W3500 processor family for high-end computing. The leak also reports: LGA 1700 sockets and W790 platform will be preserved, without the user needing to buy a new motherboard. Check out the alleged dates below:

• Raptor Lake-S (unlocked for overclocking): Oct 2023;
• Raptor Lake-S (locked for overclocking): November/December 2023;
• sapphire streams: early 2024;
• Meteor Lake-H: end of 2023;
• Meteor Lake-S: wIt is cancelled;
• Arrow Lake-S: End of 2024.

What’s New in Desktop Computers

In this way, Intel will initiate a major generational change for desktop computers only by the end of 2024 with the Arrow Lake S series. changes in the architecture and design of performance and efficiency cores, as well as improvements to Artificial Intelligence (AI). The socket will be replaced and adopt LGA 1851 platform. Manufactured by TSMC, 3 nanometer lithography.

For this year, Meteor Lake-H processors targeting laptops should make a big splash and adopt the new terminology without the “i” already. Energy efficiency seems to be one of the main features of the launch alongside innovations in artificial intelligence thanks to a special unit. The Meteor Lake-S generation, on the other hand, was apparently canceled by the company.
