Enthusiast Citizen at Bilibili, the leaker has reported that next year, Intel and AMD will usher in a new round of confrontation on the CPU battlefield, with Raptor Lake Refresh vs Zen4, such as Core i9-13900KS and Ryzen 7000X3D processor. The two parties will launch their own new CPUs in the first half of 2023, namely the Core i9-13900KS and the Ryzen 7000 series X3D.
From previous news, Intel confirmed that it will launch 6GHz Raptor Lake. It is expected that the i9-13900KS will have the opportunity to reach 6GHz and become the first x86 processor to reach 6GHz. Although in the DIY circle, many players have overclocked the i9-13900K to above 8GHz, the conditions are also very harsh. If in the consumer market, the CPU i9-13900KS can achieve 6GHz, which will undoubtedly allow Intel to add a strong touch to the market.
As for AMD, it is reported that AMD’s Ryzen 7000X3D currently only has two versions with 6 cores and 8 cores, and there is no news about high specifications, and the Ryzen 7000X3D will be launched a little later than the Core i9-13900KS, which is expected to be in May and June. It remains to be seen what outcome the confrontation between the two sides will usher in.
In other news, AMD’s A620 motherboard chipset may not be released until the second quarter, and it still locks the CPU OC and cannot overclock the CPU; after the launch of the A620, the desktop version of the AM5 APU will be launched a little later. It is said that there are only two versions of 6-core and 8-core, and its memory support is only DDR5 JEDEC 4800MHz. Of course, there will be stronger models. For Intel, in the middle to the late third quarter of 2023, it is expected that there will be processors with the Raptor Lake Refresh architecture. The main frequency of the corresponding model is expected to be 0.1GHz~0.2GHz higher, and the number of cores will remain unchanged.
