Raptor Lake specs look "Bendy" if you catch my drift.

The results look reasonable, Alder Lake gets to 5.2 ghz pretty easy, so a more mature process and a new stepping to get to 5.5 ghz is well within range.

Does anybody know if Intel will still simply fuse off the AVX512 execution units, or actually delete them from the die? - AVX512 is BIG (as in die area) and over 10s of millions of CPU's this is a lot of die area/cash to be saved. 8 extra E cores is +/- the same as two P cores in terms of die area, so I assume intel is trying to minimize the size of the dies.....

The IPC jump of about 7% is roughly what you would expect from the bigger l2 cache.

The L1 stays the same which implies little or no change to the OOO execution/branch prediction, etc.

Has there been any talk or indication that Intel will do an (S) version, i.e., 13900KS?
