Raptor Lake is the name of Intel's 13th-generation CPU processors, the newest lineup following its 12th-generation 'Alder Lake' series. The Raptor Lake processors are expected to be amongst the [most powerful CPU processors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/9900x3d) on the market due to Intel's shift toward a greater number of cores and a larger cache on each processor, adopting some of [AMD's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meg-x870e-godlike) most popular practices. These CPUs are yet unreleased, but hardware manufacturers responsible for motherboards, RAM modules, and power supplies, are already preparing for the new Raptor Lake series. Early testing for the Intel Raptor Lake series cards, such as the flagship i9-13900ES chip, show that this series is as much as 20% faster than the previous Alder Lake series.
