Up to now, reports have pointed to the Core i9-13900HX as the flagship Raptor Lake mobile CPU, but a fresh rumour implies otherwise. In addition to the Core i9-13900HX, Intel is apparently working on a Core i9-13980HX, which will be capable of boosting 200MHz faster than the previous i9 processor.
The Core i9-13980HX has 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores for a total of 32 threads, according to Wccftech. In addition, it includes 36MB of L3 cache and a 5.6GHz boost clock speed, meaning it will be the fastest Raptor Lake mobile processor once it has been launched. TDP is expected to stay at 55W, like with prior top Intel mobile HX CPUs.
The Core i9-13980HX outperforms the flagship HX CPU from the 12th generation Core. These include a 600MHz boost clock frequency increase and an extra 8x E-cores (and 8x threads). This will almost certainly result in a considerable gain in single-core performance, but it should result in an even higher increase in multi-core performance.
The Core i9-13980HX might be unveiled during Intel’s keynote at CES 2023, along with other Raptor Lake-based mobile CPUs.
