Intel confirms Raptor Lake-S platform, likely launching in 2022 | KitGuru Intel updated its repository website yesterday, revealing new details about its upcoming Intel Xe DG2 GPUs. After some additional digging around by @momomo_us, the website also contains files confirming Raptor Lake S as the successor to Alder Lake. While the files can’t be opened by the public, the descriptions do reveal some small additional details. For instance, the file titled “Alder Lake S and Raptor Lake S compatibility guidance technical advisory” suggests that Raptor Lake-S will be based on the LGA 1700 socket.
Besides this file, there are at least another four files mentioning Raptor Lake-S, including a Q4 2020 roadmap for storage interfaces. Raptor Lake-S is expected to be the successor of Alder Lake S, supporting LPDDR5X/DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0. Available for mobile and desktop platforms, it’s also expected that Raptor Lake-S will be based on the 10nm process node and bring numerous improvements over Alder Lake-S, including improved CPU cache and changes to the CPU cores.
I will assume the next gen will be at the 10nm advanced node.
