Rumor: Intel Raptor Lake and Sapphire Rapids processors will be available in October
The next Intel HEDT and desktop processors, Sapphire Rapids and Raptor Lake, would be introduced in October, a year after Alder Lake, according to the well-known leaker Enthusiastic Citizen.
In addition, Intel's HEDT platform has not been updated in a long time and based on this report and what we've observed, it will take a different route than prior generations.
To begin with, they won't be marketed as the Core-X series, but rather as the Xeon W3400/2400, thus they're likely aiming for the same consumer market as Threadripper PRO. As desktop CPUs get more cores and more advanced motherboards, the market for high-core-count CPUs with enhanced power and connectivity choices is gradually dwindling.
The thirteenth generation Raptor Lake would debut in October with compatibility for both existing motherboards and the new high-end Z790 platform. According to the report, a new series of 700 motherboards, including the H770 and B760, will be produced the following year. Intel has a very similar release timetable for its 12th Generation series, therefore it is reasonable to expect that the K series processors will be among the first to be launched.

DDR4 capability is a huge advantage over AMD Zen 4's DDR5 requirement.

AMD's iGPU might seriously need the bandwidth to fulfill expectations. Nobody expects anything from Intel's iGPUs, so Intel doesn't have the same problem.

ddr4 for raptor lake
this is really good
I have 4133 c16 b-die memory,it would be a shame to swap it for ddr5,as it stands ddr5 is both expensive and needs really good sticks to show real advantage over ddr4 running +4000mhz in gear1 mode.
