The first details concerning an engineering sample from Intel's next Raptor Lake generation were leaked. According to this, the processor has 32 threads and runs at a low clock speed of only 1.8 GHz, which is typical for a processor of this generation's early stage.
Coelacanth's Dream, a website, has uploaded a bootlog reportedly taken from an engineering sample of Intel's future Raptor Lake generation. This chip, which will be marketed as Core 13000, will eventually replace the current Alder Lake processors on the market. However, it is expected to take well over six months until that time. As a result, the information available about the CPUs now in use is far from complete.

32 threads running at a low clock speed
According to the leaked boot log, which indicates that the built-in CPU operates at a maximum speed of 1.8 GHz, this is also the case. While a clock rate of this low is not uncommon for a previous model, when it is introduced, high-end CPUs such as the Intel Core i9-13900K will almost definitely have a clock rate three times that of the previous model. The last phase looks to be a continuation of the preliminary model that was used in the first phase. It appears that this comprises 32 threads and thus represents the complete configuration of the Raptor Lake CPUs at the time of writing, according to the bootlog. If you compare it to the Intel Core i9-12900K, the Intel Core i9-13900K has twice the number of E cores, or 16 instead of the previous model's four. Also anticipated is the updating of architectures: the highly efficient Gracemont cores should be slightly changed, and Raptor Lake should utilize Raptor Cove cores from Alder Lake rather than Golden Cove cores from Alder Lake.
The bootlog contains information about the amount of memory that has been consumed, which should come as no surprise. The CPU was equipped with DDR5 memory, which was the same as that seen in modern Intel variants.
