Raptor Lake
Raptor Lake is Intel's codename for the 13th and 14th generations of Intel Core processors based on a hybrid architecture, utilizing Raptor Cove performance cores and Gracemont efficient cores. Like Alder Lake, Raptor Lake is fabricated using Intel's Intel 7 process. Raptor Lake features up to 24 cores (8 performance cores plus 16 efficiency cores) and 32 threads and is socket compatible with Alder Lake systems (LGA 1700, BGA 1744, BGA 1964). Like earlier generations, Raptor Lake processors also need accompanying chipsets.

Raptor Lake launched on October 20, 2022. On January 3, 2023 at CES 2023, Intel announced additional desktop CPUs and mobile CPUs. The 14th generation was launched on October 17, 2023.
Intel spokesman revealed that Raptor Lake was created to benefit from process improvements before Meteor Lake arrives since the next microarchitecture was likely to be delayed.
Raptor Lake competes with the AMD Ryzen 7000 series that was launched about one month earlier on September 27, 2022.
The 14th-generation Raptor Lake Refresh is the last processor family to use the old Core i branding scheme.
On Dec 14, 2023, Intel announced the Raptor Cove-based Xeon E-2400 series for entry-level servers.
