Well! Who doesn’t know Intel? It is considered the most reliable and powerful computer chip manufacturing company all over the globe. Now Intel has introduced the 13th generation desktop processors series named “Raptor Lake”.
As per the company, the new intel chips are going to perform better (up to 41%) than the 12th gen processors. That’s a massive difference, right? Intel has also claimed that these processors are more efficient than their predecessors. The new 13th gen processors are introduced in 3 models (core i5, i7, and i9 containing 2 variants each).
Intel 13th Generation Processors (Raptor Lake)
Let’s see some important details you need to know about the new Intel processors.
- The Intel 13 generation processors have the same hybrid architecture as of 12th gen processors.
- Single thread performance is upgraded up to 15%.
- Multi-thread performance is improved by up to 41%.
- The Intel 13 generation processors can be installed in existing motherboards made for 12th generation Intel processors.
- Intel Core i9-13900K is the most powerful processor among all the models.

It is important to note that the i3 processors are not introduced in this series which were available in the 12th gen i series. The 13th Gen processors are not yet available in Pakistan. But you can buy the new intel processors soon after they are imported in the country.
Conclusion
Computing is surely going to the next level with the more demanding computer applications being introduced every year. To meet these intense demands every year, Intel regularly launches improved processors year after year (mostly).
Intel 13 Generation Processors are by far the most powerful processors by the company. They are also efficient (as the company claims). The good news is you can install them on existing motherboards made for Intel 12th generation processors without needing to buy new ones.
So, would you buy a PC with an Intel 13-gen processor? Or would you get the processor and integrate it into your existing PC (by replacing the 12th gen processor)? Tell us in the comment section below.
