13th generation laptop processors have arrived; Intel’s 24-core behemoth is 50% faster than before

Intel uses the same die as the 13th generation desktop processors in the HX series laptop processors. Therefore, in Core i9-13980HX we see the use of 8 high-power cores and 16 low-power cores. The number of powerful cores in Core i9-13980HX is the same as the 12th generation Core i9-12950HX chip; But the number of low-power cores has doubled.

Core i9-13980HX is a 55-watt processor, and laptops equipped with this chip will be equipped with the latest discrete graphics from Nvidia and AMD. The Core i9-13980HX will only be available in flagship gaming laptops.

According to Verge And AnandtecIntel claims that the 13th generation laptop processors are 11% and 49% faster than the previous generation in single-threaded and multi-threaded performance, respectively. The gaming performance of these processors is 12% better. To see the impact of power on energy consumption, we have to wait for the release of laptops equipped with Raptor Lake processors.

Intel’s Raptor Lake series processors support DDR4 memory (with a maximum frequency of 3,200 MHz) and DDR5 (with a maximum frequency of 5,600 MHz) and are capable of supporting 128 GB of RAM. The HX series models also support Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and Thunderbolt 4. Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Asus and Razer have said that they will launch a total of more than 60 new laptops with powerful HX Raptor Lake processors.
