Intel confirms that Raptor Lake will have up to 24 cores and 32 threads, will be compatible with LGA 1700

While we already knew this from multiple well-known leakers and even leaked tests, Intel officially confirmed that Raptor Lake will feature up to 24 cores and 32 threads, and will also support LGA 1700, meaning users of 600 Series motherboards will be able to upgrade. without changing your motherboard.

This figure will be achieved through the combination of 8 high-performance cores, which add up to a total of 8 cores and 16 threads, plus 16 high-efficiency cores, which, as they do not have Hyperthreading, add up to a total of 16 cores and 16 threads, reaching the total of 24 cores and 32 threads mentioned previously.

Unfortunately, Intel did not give specific details about the performance improvements that we will see in this new generation, limiting itself to saying only that we will see a “performance increase of up to double digits”, which covers a large number of possibilities. Surely this is because they are still adjusting their final frequencies and therefore do not have final performance numbers, so we will have to wait a little longer to find out what improvements Raptor Lake will bring compared to Alder Lake.

The company also confirmed that Raptor Lake is coming later this year, so there’s an interesting fight between Zen 4 and Raptor Lake coming up in the second half of the year. As always we will be keeping you updated on the latest news from both AMD and Intel, so keep an eye on HD Technology for the latest information.

What do you think about how many cores Raptor Lake will have? Do you plan to upgrade to this generation?
