A picture of an Intel Raptor Lake stuffed wafer has been pictured on the Intel Tech Tour Israel occasion. The 12-inch wafer image was shared by Tom’s {Hardware} Editor Paul Alcorn by way of Twitter. We opened it up on our cutting-edge PC and shouted ‘improve’ on the display screen to create the picture under.
In case you pixel peep the improved part it’s fairly simple to see the eight Efficiency Cores (P-Cores) on the highlighted rectangular die. It isn’t fairly as simple to see that there are additionally 16 Effectivity Cores (E-cores) current (however there are). So, sure, it is a Raptor-Lake-S die which might be purposed to create an Intel Core i9-13900 tier CPU, so long as it makes the grade.
We don’t want to achieve for our pixel rulers and use relative scale calculations to supply an estimate of the die measurement. Earlier information, as collected inside our Raptor Lake all-we-know article, has already established that the die measures 23.8 x 10.8mm, for an space of 257mm ^2. That is practically 25% larger than the Intel Core i9-12900K Alder Lake die measurement. Each twelfth and Thirteenth Gen Intel Core processors are constructed on the Intel 7 course of, previously generally known as 10 nm Enhanced SuperFin.

From the above you possibly can see that the Raptor Lake die is considerably bigger than Alder Lake, which is shocking given how Intel has admitted that Raptor Lake was a filler, created as a result of Intel knew Meteor Lake would take longer than deliberate. So, the CPU configuration of Raptor Lake is completely different from its predecessor however issues such because the iGPU and I/O die are mainly unchanged. The additional die area should subsequently be accounted for by (probably) bigger P-cores, the additional E-cores, the larger caches, and different issues we’ll discover out about on the large launch occasion.

Intel’s Raptor Lake would be the technology which is the final of the Core collection it makes as a monolithic die. One of many large leaps taken with Intel 14th Gen Core ‘Meteor Lake’ processors goes to be the change to chiplets, with a mixture of semiconductor merchandise manufactured by each Intel and TSMC below its IHS.
