Amit Naor, manager of the development project for Raptor Lake processors for laptops, in a message to Apple and AMD: “The laptop processor market has a new king, whose tests we conducted surpasses the performance of all competitors”
Intel is unveiling as part of the CES 2023 conference its new series of processors for 13th generation laptops, which includes 33 new processors, including the i9-13980HX, “the fastest processor for laptops”, which Intel claims outperforms competitors AMD and Apple when it comes to performance.
The new processors (code name: “Raptor Lake”) were developed under the leadership of development teams from Intel Israel, and since then the desktop processor series was launched at a huge event in Tel Aviv last September, receiving excellent reviews around the world.
Amit Naor, the manager of the development project for Raptor Lake processors for laptops: “Today we are launching a large series of new processors and expanding the range of Intel’s 13th generation Core processor family in the market. The new series includes a “new gaming king for the market” which, as it appears from the tests we conducted, presents the best performance, surpassing all its competitors.
Our new family of processors, in combination with the technologies developed in the development groups in Israel and elsewhere in the world, will provide consumers with an improved and particularly good user experience, and will provide significant value to content creators and gamers. I am proud of the engineers who have worked on this project hard and with full vigor in recent years, and I am always excited by this occasion where a product they have worked so hard on is presented to the world for the first time“.
Along with the new processors, Intel will incorporate in the new laptops released throughout 2023 a number of leading Israeli technologies that will be integrated into many computer brands including Dell, Lenovo, HP, Acer, Razer, Asus, and more.
- Bluetooth LE Audio – A new Bluetooth standard that will create a revolution in the listening industry through the Bluetooth protocol. It will allow for the first time Audio sharing – sharing for a large number of users, and improving the audio quality.
- Wifi Proximity Sensing – a function that will allow Independent shutdown of the computer as soon as the user moves away from it, and independent switching on when the user returns to the vicinity of the computer.
- Double connect technology – Connection to two Wi-Fi frequencies at the same time. One of the applications was presented at CES in collaboration between Intel and Meta (Facebook), which will allow users of virtual reality glasses to run games more smoothly.
- Unison – Transferring files, sharing photos and videos, receiving phone calls, SMS messages and more – between the computer and smartphone in a simple way and for all types of smartphones (Android or iOS).
“The new king in the mobile market”
Intel’s new 13th generation laptop processors are the most powerful that the company has introduced to date. The flagship processor of the series, the i9-13980HX, Featuring 24 cores for the first time, unique features such as DDR4 and DDR5 memory support, best-in-class connectivity and PCIe Gen 5 support, provides users with the world’s best mobile gaming platform.
The new processor series offers:
- Turbo speed of up to 5.6 GHz – the highest clock speed available on the laptop market, Showing an 11% improvement in single-core performance and up to 49% in multi-core performance compared to the previous generation.
- Up to 24 cores (8 performance cores, 16 efficient cores), 32 working threads and an improved Thread Director.
- Memory support with a total volume of up to 128 gigabytes of type DDR5 (speed up to 5,600 MHz) and DDR4 (speed of 3,200 MHz).
- Acceleration capabilities in the HX and HK models.
- Integrated graphics chip for an enhanced experience with an improved driver and integration of features that Intel learned from the development of its dedicated video cards.
- Intel’s Killer Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) for internet speeds up to 6x without the interference of legacy WiFi channels.
- Bluetooth LE Audio with Bluetooth 5.2, which supports up to 2x high speed and the connectivity of several devices, along with low power consumption.
- Support for Thunderbolt 4 that provides a transfer rate of 40 gigabit/s and allows you to connect several 4K screens and peripherals to the computer.
New processors for thin and light laptops
Intel is also launching two more families of 13th generation processors, Core P and Core U, designed for high performance for thin and light laptops.
The new processors offer:
- Up to 14 cores (6 performance cores, 8 efficiency cores) and improved Thread Director.
- New features of the Iris X graphics chipe of Intel, including gaming capabilities, X supporteSS Super Sampling ו-Arc Control.
- Wide RAM support for different types of DDR5, DDR4 and LP4 and LP5.
- Built-in Intel’s Killer Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) chip and new wireless connectivity features such as Intel’s Connectivity Performance Suite, Wi-Fi Proximity Sensing and Bluetooth LE Audio.
- Up to four Thunderbolt 4 connections for the fastest, simplest and most reliable cable connection for all types of docking stations, displays or peripherals.
For the first time, select models based on Intel’s 13th generation Core processors will include Intel’s Movidius, a visual processing unit (VPU), the result of deep joint engineering work with Microsoft. These units make it possible to transfer the heavy artificial intelligence tasks that require collaboration and professional streaming to the VPU, and “free up” the processor and the graphics chip in favor of other workloads or work needs with multiple tasks.
The new H, P and U series processors provide improved performance for the next generation of thin and light mobiles, foldable computers, 2-in-1 and other configurations. They will be integrated into more than 300 types of computers expected to be released this year from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Razer, Republic of Gamers, Samsung and others.
The family of add-ons for theCore Intel’s 13th generation desktops
Intel is launching 16 new 13th generation Core processors for K series desktops for fans of advanced computing with a consumption of 35 watts and 65 watts, these complement the desktop processor series that the company first launched last September. The popular processor, Intel Core i5, receives for the first time the addition of efficient cores (E-cores).
These processors offer:
- Up to 5.6 GHz, 24 cores/ 32 filaments, combining efficient cores in mainstream Core i5 processors and integrating a larger L2 cache for up to 11% improvement in single-core performance and up to 34% in multi-threading work compared to non-K-series 12th generation processors.
- Full front and back compatibility with 600 and 700 series motherboards and DDR5 and DDR4 memory support.
- Improved energy efficiency thanks to Intel Dynamic Tuning technology, better power matching, and higher performance per watt (PPW) than ever before.
A series of processors Intel N For entry-level computing
After parting ways with the Intel Pentium and Intel Celeron brands, Intel today introduced Intel Processor and Intel Core i3 from the N-series product family. These are intended for the education system, entry-level computing and Internet of Things (IOT) applications.
These processors offer:
- For the first time, Intel is releasing a product that is entirely efficient cores (a micro-architecture codenamed “Gracemont”) based on the Intel 7 production technology.
- Up to 28% improvement in application performance, and 64% in Intel Processor graphics performance, compared to the previous generation.
- Up to 10 hours of HD video display without recharging.
- New AV1 encoding engine for high resolution display and improved support for IPU and MIPI cameras.
- Expanded connectivity with Intel Wi-Fi 6E (+Gig) and Bluetooth 5.2.
- Flexible memory (LPDDR5, DDR5/DDR4) and storage (UFS/SSD/eMMC) options.
These processors are intended for educational needs and consumers who need computers at low prices on the one hand, and high quality performance and experiences in areas such as collaboration and productivity and video on the other. More than 50 designs from Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Asus are expected in 2023, as Intel continues to lead ecosystem partnerships for ChromeOS and Windows.
