Intel may have set the roadmap for the 13th Gen processor family. It is reported that Intel Raptor Lake models will be introduced next October. This is notable as it coincides with the AMD Ryzen 7000 just after its launch.
Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake features
Intel Raptor Lake performance has started to come to the fore in recent leaks. Raptor Lake, which is stated to have reached a clock speed of 5.8 GHz, “testing new peaks” seems unlikely to be a dream. Following the path of AMD in overclocking, Intel can open the door for processors to reach higher clock speeds.

It is stated that the new models will have a very similar roadmap with the 12th Generation series. Therefore, it seems likely that K-series processors will be among the first to be released. It was also reported that the 13th Gen family will support both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, unlike AMD Zen 4 (or Ryzen 7000 models), which only supports DDR5.
As far as we know, 13th Gen Raptor Lake will support the new high-end Z790 platform alongside existing motherboards. Rumors are swirling that the 700 will also launch next year as the new motherboard lineup, including the H770 and B760.
According to the leaks made to date, the new generation processors will continue the hybrid design we saw in Alder Lake. The 13th Generation models, which will be based on the Intel 7 process node, will also experience an increase in the number of cores. Allegedly, it will have a maximum of 24 cores (8 performance, 16 efficiency) and 32 threads.
In addition to Raptor Lake models, it was claimed that Sapphire Rapids processors that will appeal to servers will also be introduced during the October launch. The new server CPUs could include 56 cores, 112 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, up to 8 DDR5 memory and possibly dual-socket motherboard support.
