Hearing applies to the future Intel Hedt and consumer series, known as Sapphire Rapids and Raptor Lake. It is interesting that both should be launched in October this year, that is, almost exactly a year after Alder Lake. Meanwhile, the Intel HeDT platform has not been updated for a very long time.
It is noteworthy that they will be sold not as a series of Core-X, but rather as Xeon W3400/2400, therefore, they will probably be aimed at the same consumer space as Threadripper Pro. The incentive to offer processors with a large number of nuclei with increased power and connection capabilities gradually disappears, since the main series receive more nuclei and even more advanced motherboards.
They say that the 13th generation Core Raptor Lake will appear in October with support for existing motherboards, as well as for the new high-performance Z790 platform. There are rumors that next year new episodes of motherboard 700 will appear, including the H770 and B760 series. A very similar launch schedule was adopted for the 12th Gen Core series, so it could be assumed that the K-series processors would be launched by one of the first.
