We eat rumors like never before, but when it comes from someone who is used to serving reliable information, we prefer to share it with you. Note however that we must keep the usual reservations on all these subjects. So according to the information gleaned by Greymon55, the Raptor Lake (Intel Core 13th generation) would outperform AMD Ryzen 7000 processors in terms of multicore performance. Big contradictions continue to fall regarding single-core performance. We’ll have to wait a little longer as the final frequency ( and possibly the TDP) may affect this factor.
Raptor Lake ahead of Ryzen 7000 also on price?
But there is another area where Intel could also be ahead… It is on the price. We already know that the Achilles heel of AMD for its launch will be that the Ryzen 7000 will run only and exclusively on DDR5 memory . The thirteenth generation of Intel, like Alder Lake, will be able to use solutions with high-performance DDR4 memory at much more affordable prices. So yes, DDR5 is starting to drop, but the inflation that is becoming more widespread and the bad luck of the Euro against the Dollar will not make things any easier.
We also know that even if AMD tries to contain the prices of its future motherboards by acting on the cost of chipsets, this will not be enough to guarantee an aggressive positioning. As a result, and for the first time in a long time, it seems that AMD is under pressure to launch
