Intel will launch its new 13th-generation “Raptor Lake” CPUs later this year, led by the flagship Core i9-13900K product, which will run on existing 600 series motherboards. But … there are new 700 series motherboards that we have been hearing about since June 2021 with rumors from over a year ago, and now there are some new leaks.

In a brand new video, Tom @ Moore’s Law is Dead says the new 700 series Intel chipset would be led by the flagship Z790 chip set, which would feature support for super-fast PCIe 5.0 SSDs. This would bring Intel to the same level as AMD with enthusiast-class consumer chipsets, as the upcoming AMD X670E chipset and its X670E-powered motherboards will support both a PCIe 5.0 SSD and a PCIe 5.0 GPU.
But like AMD and its AM5-based motherboards, some of the new Intel Z790-based motherboards will not support PCIe 5.0 SSDs. You’ll still have PCIe 5.0 x16 on some of these boards, but it will only work with a PCIe 5.0-ready GPU. Speaking of which, the new-generation AMD RDNA 3-based Navi 31 Radeon RX 7970 XT (or what’s going to be called) will be in the new PCIe 5.0 x16 standard.
If the new flagship graphics card based on RDNA 3 really supports PCIe 5.0 x16, then you can run the supposed new Radeon RX 7970 XT graphics card along with a new generation Intel 13th Gen Core “Raptor Lake” CPU or AMD. next new Zen 4-based Ryzen 7000 series CPU.
AMD’s new X670E chipset was explained in the previous article: now we can tell you that the X670E will be a special SKU where the E means Extreme. According to the information we have managed to obtain, it does not seem to differ from the X670 chip set in terms of functionality or features. However, all X670E motherboards should offer PCIe 5.0 connectivity to both the GPU and the M.2 NVMe SSD slot or possibly slots, while X670-based motherboards can use PCIe 4.0.
We should expect 5.8 GHz CPU clocks and beyond the new Core i9-13900K “Raptor Lake” CPU, with rumors of May 2022 mocking the huge clock speeds. Intel has confirmed that its new Raptor Lake CPUs will offer performance enhancements of up to two digits, up to 24 cores and 32 wires, enhanced overclocking features, an M.2 AI module and will be compatible with Alder Lake systems . .
Intel’s next-generation Raptor Lake CPUs will come with up to 24 cores and 32 wires, with Intel promising “up to two-digit performance boost” as well as “enhanced overclocking features.” There will be a new AI M.2 module, while Raptor Lake will be plug-in compatible with Alder Lake systems (no motherboard upgrade).
