According to the company’s presentation, the Raptor Lake processors are expected to provide double-digit improvement in terms of performance, more advanced speeds for speed, and full compatibility with the current holder of the Alder Lake processors, the LGA 1700. Up to 24 cores, and this is 8 performance cores and 16 efficient cores because it will offer 32 working capillaries.
