The next generation Core, ‘Raptor Lake-S’ is at the heart of a recent screenshot. It reveals what appears to be the configuration of the caches of these Core 13th generation.
It is interesting to note that the source at the origin of this publication confirms its own information of last January. Intel is expected to significantly increase the cache size of its processors. Regarding the 13th generation Core alias ” Raptor Lake-S » we are in front of a total of 68 MB for the L2 and L3 caches.
For the moment we have no way of identifying the exact reference of this chip. Is it the window? Possible but nothing is certain. However, we have a processor equipped with eight big cores, “Raptor Cove” P-Cores and sixteen “small cores”, “Gracemont” E-Cores. It is a 24-core, 32-thread chip.
13th generation Core, Intel increases the size of the L2 and L3 caches
Each “Raptor Cove” P-core has 2 MB of dedicated L2 cache compared to 1.25 MB for the “Golden Cove” P-Cores of Alder Lake-S (12th Core generation). For their part, the sixteen “Gracemont” E-cores are available through four E-core clusters. The four cores of each cluster share a 4 MB L2 cache compared to 2 MB on Alder Lake. To all this is added a shared L3 cache of 36 MB. In the end we find a total of 68 MB of L2 and L3 cache (8 x 2 MB + 4 x 4 MB + 36 MB).
Socket LGA 1700 (Alder Lake-S et Raptor Lake-S)
Core “Raptor Lake” processors are expected this year.
Raptor Lake-S, the launch would be advanced to the 3rd quarter of 2022
They will be accompanied by a new platform with the launch of the 700 series chipsets. Intel will keep its LGA 1700 format so that current motherboards should be able to use them.
