AMD will launch the Reebok 7000 processor with 5nm zen4 architecture this fall. Intel will also upgrade the 13th generation core, code named Raptor lake, which will be an improved version of the 12th generation core. The architecture will be upgraded from 8 performance cores +8 performance cores to 8 performance cores +16 performance cores, with a total of 24 cores and 32 threads. In other aspects, 13 generation core will also improve the overclocking function. Lga1700 slot and motherboard will be compatible with 12 generation core, and will also support ddr5 and DDR4 memory
In addition to these improvements, 13 generation core has now been exposed to have another module - Intel will add an AI m.2 module to it, probably to further improve the AI acceleration capability of 13 generation core
Considering that Intel has started to improve AI capabilities since the 10th generation of core, it is not a problem for the 13th generation of core to continue to strengthen AI. However, it is a little difficult to add m.2 modules. Previously, AI units were integrated in the CPU. How can they become m.2 modules now? If an external module is really built, will consumers pay for the AI module?
At present, the AI module of the 13th generation core is really confusing, but there is not much information at present. The specific results of Intel's whole activity need to be analyzed.
In addition, the performance advantages of the 13th generation core may be further strengthened. The latest disclosure shows that the single core performance of the 13th generation core flagship i9-13900k geekbench 5 can exceed 2300 points.
At present, the i9-12900k is basically about 2000 points, while the AMD Ruilong 95950x is about 1700 points.
This means that the single core performance of the i9-13900k can be improved by up to 15%, while the flagship of the competitive products is up to 35%
