{Hardware} leaker momomo_us has tweeted (opens in new tab) the alleged leaked specs of two of Intel’s upcoming Raptor Lake cell processors – the Core i5-13500H and Core i7-13700H. The spec sheet did share CPU core counts, which are not going up. Core i5 and Core i7 fashions have the identical core counts as their predecessors, with 12 and 14 cores, respectively.
It’s a departure from Raptor Lake’s desktop counterparts, the place core counts went up tremendously on the E-cores. For instance, the earlier era Core i9-12900K had eight P-cores and eight E-cores, however the Core i9-3900K doubled the E-cores from ight to 16. The variety of E cores additionally jumped equally on Intel’s lower-end desktop elements, together with the Core i7-13700K and Core i5-13600K.
The Core i7-12700H and Core i5-12500H every have eight E-cores, the identical quantity because the Core i7 13700K and Core i5-13600K desktop chips and double what the Alder Lake i7-12700K and i5-12600K had. So evidently, for higher or worse, Intel determined these cell chips didn’t want extra E-cores or P-cores, for that matter. We all know this as a result of the thread depend and core depend are the identical on the Raptor Lake cell elements as on their predecessors. (P-cores have HyperThreading, and the E-cores do not.)
Because of this, we should not anticipate these chips to have considerably higher multi-threaded efficiency than Alder Lake, because the Raptor Lake desktop elements do. However, these elements can be getting higher-clocked Raptor Lake efficiency cores, with all of the enhancements Intel made on the brand new structure. As well as, the E-cores must also obtain some upgrades, together with a minor increase to clock pace, like what we see with Raptor Lake desktop chips. So there needs to be a big enchancment in additional single-core targeted functions, like gaming.
Fortunately, we can’t have to attend lengthy for these chips to reach available on the market. Intel CEO Pat Geisinger has confirmed that Raptor Lake cell will launch by the top of the yr.
