In connection with the 13th generation Intel Raptor Lake (codename) CPU, news has been reported that some models are refreshed versions of the 12th generation CPU.
This news was confirmed through ExtremePlayer of the Chinese community Bilibili, and it was mentioned that the Raptor Lake CPU Die consists of a total of three B-0/C-0/H-0. Among them, the i5-13600 Non-K version and the i5-13400 in its lower lineup are all the same C-0, which is a refresh model of the Elder Lake CPU, and only i9-13900K to i5-13600K have a new CPU die called B-0. claimed to use
If this claim is true, the configuration of the number of cores of the CPU may be the same, but it is predicted that there will be a slight difference in actual performance as the L2 cache capacity is different from that of the 13th generation CPU.
Of course, it is still too early to confirm as this is pre-release rumor information. However, as there was a story that the 13th generation Intel Raptor Lake uses the same architecture as the 12th generation Elder Lake, there is also an analysis that there is a difference according to the CPU weight class.
