Intel Core i5-13600K: Better value than Ryzen 5 7600X? Yes and no

DOOM Eternal

The Intel Core i5-13600K processor gives the impression of being from a slightly different class than the Ryzen 5 7600X. AMD’s Raphael with only 6 cores against 14 cores (albeit eight of them only small, Gracemont) of Raptor Lake may look like an underdog that should be significantly cheaper. However, one must be careful when making judgments. Although the Ci5-13600K is a great processor, so is the still only Ryzen 5 7000 in the game so far.

Cheap Arrow Lakes: Core Ultra 5 240F to have two versions again

Intel is preparing a new generation of desktop CPUs for the second half of the year. After three Alder/Raptor Lake generations on LGA 1700, it will be an all-new Arrow Lake architecture, with Core Ultra CPUs and an all-new LGA 1851 socket. Information about the first models is starting to appear, beginning with the cheaper SKUs: the Core Ultra 5 240F, which should be the next-gen successor to the popular cheap Core i5 ships.

Next-gen Xeon 6 has 128 Meteor Lake P-Cores and 500W TDP

We recently mused that Intel could catch up, if not overtake AMD in iGPU performance, but now there’s information suggesting upcoming Intel Xeon processors could close the gap with AMD in servers. In fact, the “Granite Rapids” processors appear to eliminate AMD Epyc processors’ long-standing lead in core count and will bring as many as 128 cores. However, these will probably use the not-so-successful Meteor Lake microarchitecture… Read more “Next-gen Xeon 6 has 128 Meteor Lake P-Cores and 500W TDP” »

Unstable Raptor Lake CPUs on the rise, Intel analyzes the issue

We recently reported on Intel Raptor Lake processors stability issues in games. Reports of crashes often accompanied by misleading messages about lack of video memory don’t seem to be subsiding, but rather multiplying, as do the number of games in which these problems are reported. Intel has not yet taken an official position on the matter, but is analyzing the problem. It is perhaps the biggest such issue with Intel processors in recent times.
