Intel Accidentally Leaked Raptor Lake Processor Specs

Intel’s upcoming 13th-generation processors (codenamed Raptor Lake) have accidentally had their specs leaked by Intel itself, just a day after an official announcement that at least one of the new CPUs will run at 6GHz at stock speeds.

The Core i5-13600K, i7-13700K, and i9-13900K CPUs had their specs posted on Intel’s Canadian website before the computing giant realized its error and pulled the information. Twitter users were quick to spread the gaffe (which you can still find here in a cached version from the Wayback machine).

The article revealed that the top-of-the-line i9 13900K will feature 24 cores and 32 threads, with the performance cores running at a maximum frequency of 5.4GHz. The i7 13700K will be available with 16 cores and 24 threads, with up to 5.3GHz on the performance cores. Finally, the i5 13600K will ship with 14 cores and 20 threads with a max frequency of 5.1GHz on the performance cores.

All of this information comes from an official source, so it unsurprisingly matches leaked slides that appeared online last week. The official-looking media mentioned that both the 13th Gen Core i9 and Core i7 processors will be able to deploy two performance cores, boosting up to 5.8GHz via Intel’s Thermal Velocity Boost.

Intel still hasn’t officially announced its Raptor Lake processors but has offered a teaser that they will give a 15% improvement in single-threaded performance and a 41% improvement for multi-threaded work.

We’ll hear the official roadmap for these processors during the company’s September 27th innovation event, which interestingly is being held on the same day AMD is set to announce its own 16-core powerhouse — the Ryzen 9 7950X.
