From Tom's Hardware: Intel plans to make an important disclosure about its client PC platform roadmap next week, but some parts of the presentation have already been leaked by HXL. In fact, for performance PC enthusiasts, Intel's Desktop and Workstation Platforms Roadmap that covers things like Raptor Lake-S Refresh processors for 2023 desktops as well as Sapphire Rapids-64L/112L CPUs set to address high-end desktops and workstations next quarter poses even more interest.
One of the biggest surprises revealed by the leaked document is that Intel plans to retain its Raptor Lake processors for desktops for another year. Set to arrive in Q3 2023, Raptor Lake-S Refresh CPUs will continue to serve entry-level workstations and desktops for enthusiasts, mainstream users, and commercial desktop PCs.
The leaked roadmap does not reveal any specifications or improvements of the Raptor Lake Refresh processors over existing products, but typically refreshes increased clocks and sometimes features some minor improvements like enhanced power delivery or different turbo boost algorithms. The excerpts from the document also do not disclose whether Intel's 34-core Raptor Lake-S (RPLS-34C) is a part of the RPL Refresh family, but something tells us that this piece of silicon is reserved for workstations.
