Intel’s 13th-generation Core Raptor Lake-S will still support DDR4 memory

According to the latest report, Intel’s next-generation desktop Core processor Raptor Lake-S will still support DDR4 memory. The revealer believes that Intel’s 13th-generation Core Raptor Lake will also support DDR4 memory. This means that Raptor Lake will still maintain the LGA1700 interface, which may be compatible with the existing Z690 motherboards and the H670/B660/H610 motherboards to be released later.

Moreover,  the evaluation of Intel’s 12th-generation Core K-series processors has been lifted. DDR5 memory has a higher latency than DDR4, and the improvement in-game performance is not ideal. Therefore, the 13th-generation Core retains support for DDR4. It is more friendly to game players.

Furthermore, the current news reports that Intel’s 13th-generation Core Raptor Lake will have more cores than the 12th-generation core, and the number of Gracemont’s small cores will double.

Intel’s unlocked version of the 12th generation Intel Core desktop processor is now available, including i9-12900K/KF, i7-12700K/KF, i5-12600K/KF 6 models. Intel said that the new high-performance hybrid architecture of the 12-generation Core desktop processor effectively improves multi-threading performance, and can increase content creation speed by up to 2 times compared with the previous generation. These six desktop processors support DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0 connections, using Intel 7 process technology for the first time.
