Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh Desktop CPU Whispers From Computex: More Power Hungry, Faster Clocks, Faster Memory Support

Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh desktop CPUs are going to feature faster clocks, faster memory support & also be more power hungry.

this is an odd move. 'nuff said.

Sweet! I have a little Strix B660 ITX board I can drop one in

Hmm that aligns with MLID's sources as well. No Meteor Lake for 14th gen.

true, but when has a platform, in this case Raptor Lake, ever been given two generation designations?

It does look bad for Intel because it makes them look like they can't get their design together. I mean with a lot of the news about Meteor Lake either cancelled for desktop or have one of the design cancel, Intel isn't looking good. Interestingly, MILD's conversation with Adore TV mentioned CPU sales will be over shadowed by GPU sales (or at least the data center version of GPU), Intel may be in a bit more trouble in the near future.

It seems to be because meteor lake failed/got cancelled and they have to release a “new” product every year anyway.

so 14nm+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ all over again until they can make something new?

it appears to be something like that...

but this time they learned if they cant go forward they can go sideways and vertical with piling on diff nodes sizes to make 1 chip.
