Intel Raptor Lake-P is the code name of silicon for the next generation laptops for the Intel Core series of the 13th generation. According to a new leakage, one of these processors has been tested using the UserBenchMark program 6 days ago. The test platform is explicitly based on the Intel reference system, as indicated in the "Raptor Lake-PX LP5 ERB" assembly information. This also indicates that we consider the LPDDR5-based system.
The data collected by the software confirm that this is a 14-nuclear and 20-flow SKU with a base clock frequency of 2.5 GHz and a turbo clock frequency of 4.2 GHz. It is worth noting that such a turbo speed is already at the flagship level ALDER LAKE-P: Intel Core i9-12900HK. This is due to the fact that Userbenchmark reports an average clock frequency, and not about peak. You can easily find Intel Core i9-12900HKs entries of similar clocks. Basic speed, however, at 400 MHz below.
At the moment it is unclear whether Intel plans to increase the number of nuclei for its series of mobile devices, but the desktop platform really gets an increased (double) number of effective nuclei.
More importantly, according to the data collected by UserBenchmark, this processor is already faster than its (estimated) predecessor, the flagship processor Alder Lake-P. The advantage in performance is small, but, given the early leakage, there is a high probability that it was only the first roar of the "Kid of Raptor".
It is currently expected that the Intel 13H Gen Core processor series for laptops will not be presented before the CES 2023 exhibition at the beginning of next year. Intel has been adhered to the annual schedule for the release of its series of laptops and probably wants to match the launch of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 ADA mobile graphics processor.
