Intel has confirmed its 13th-gen CPUs will be known as Raptor Lake, with all signs pointing to a 2022 launch
2021 is turning out to be a big year for Intel.
It began with the launch of the
Tiger Lake-H series at CES, a new version of its 11th-gen laptop chips designed for gaming. Tiger Lake includes no desktop chips, however, so we had to wait until March for the
11th-gen Rocket Lake CPUs to arrive.
12th-gen Alder Lake chips will therefore technically be a successor to both, given they're expected to include desktop
and laptop CPUs. Confused yet? You might be now.
The focus of this article will be the 13th-gen 'Raptor Lake' processors, although it's not yet clear if they will include laptops chips as well as the already-rumoured desktop CPUs. Either way, here's everything you need to know at this early stage.
