Intel announces 13th generation of notebook processors

The month of September 2022 was marked by the Intel due to the launch of the 13th generation of processors in the line raptor lake for desktop computers and, 4 months after that, she enjoyed her time at CES 2023 to announce the lines responsible for delivering high capacity notebooks aimed at different types of users.

The company points out that compared to the i9-12900HX, Intel Core i9-13950HX had a 49% performance gain in multitasking tests. The 13th generation models of notebook processors are also supported to deliver high performance for content creation and low power usage. Understand all the details right now.

Performance for all types of users

just like the line raptor lake, Intel released four variants for the 13th generation notebook models. Line names are distinguished not only by their characteristic letters, but also by their maximum power in watts. Are they:

• U-series: aimed at notebooks, light, modern and thin, with a capacity of 15W;
• P-series: for people who need notebooks with average performance, light and light, with a capacity of 28W;
• H-series: for enthusiast users; processors with a capacity of 45W;
• HX: extreme performance delivery by reaching 55W of energy power.

the variants HX were the highlight of the event, since they were developed to deliver high performance through several factors. Firstly, according to Intel, this is the fastest notebook processor as of December 2022, with an overclock reaching 5.6 GHz.

The company also points out that i9 processors are the best to deliver a good gamer experience. Tests with the main titles of the current market proved that the Intel Core i9-13950HX performs 12% faster.

Other details include the performance capacity for content creation, games, science and engineering application for the most diverse fields.

Performance in projects and renderings

Notebooks are no longer just a complement that allows the resolution of simpler tasks and professionals from different sectors are using notebooks for the development of more complex projects and jobs.

The 13th generation of notebook processors from Intel hits the market to offer a 79% higher performance compared to IIntel Core i9-12950HX, when put to work 3D rendering in Blender 3.31 BMW. This is done with the support of an NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti. See the comparison:

Moving on to use in architectural applications, which are also quite CPU intensive while everything is being developed, the Intel took the opportunity to disclose that its most powerful line of processors for notebooks can deliver a 24% greater performance in AutoCad, 17% greater in Revit and 12% greater in Autodesk Inventor.

It is important to note that although the models have an integrated video card, this good graphics performance was achieved with the support of a 3080W NVIDIA RTX 175 Ti video card.

Content creation right on the notebook

Having access to good performance, even in a model that can be taken everywhere, is a great way to be able to deliver all projects. To continue allowing content creators to have access to a good platform, Intel managed to make its 13th generation of processors for notebooks have, in relation to the IIntel Core i9-12900HX:

• 6% performance gain in Premier;
• 12% performance gain in Photoshop;
• 15% performance gain in After Effects.

To reach these numbers, the Intel used the benchmark PugetBench, from its own Adobe. The most powerful processor in the new lineup also hits the international market with the power to create, edit and live stream content in 8K quality.

Game development was also a highlight ofthe Intel Core i9-13950HX. The company emphasized that with the support of a NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti 175W, users will be able to develop games of different types of games, still making use of real-time motion capture, within the Unreal Engine 5 and also in the Metahuman.

This allows several tasks to be done on the same machine and even on a notebook, projects are finalized. The performance of Intel Core i9-13950HX it is 10% better when two applications are running simultaneously. This means that it is possible to capture content through the Metahuman while the Unreal Engine 5 is open and then send everything to the graphics engine of Epic Games.

New Intel Iris Xe Gains

The 13th generation of notebook processors from Intel it may work with dedicated graphics cards, but that doesn't mean that integrated GPUs don't pack a punch. With the new release, it was announced that the resistance for games is greater and in titles like League of Legends e Rocket League, you can enjoy up to 4,5 hours of uninterrupted time before the notebook needs to be plugged back in.

Another novelty is in Xe Super Sampling, which is now able to increase the frame rate by 30% of a game through artificial intelligence capabilities. The best results will be seen in games like Hitman 3 e Shadow Of The Tomb Rider.

the control center intel arc is now available so that all graphics control is in the hands of the users. It is a functionality that allows the activation and deactivation of all functionalities in a simple way and without requiring high technology knowledge.

The new CPUs will also be released with support with UMovidius Vision Processing Units (VPUs), which allow laptops to “see” what is being captured by the camera for better video calling enhancements. The gains are in delivering a high resolution image, blurred background and automatic framing to only have to stand in front of the notebook for everything to be configured.

As VPUs also allow better video transmission and the effects of Windows can be used with full quality, according to the Intel. The same resources can also be used in applications with an integrated camera.

ports and connectivity

Following the advances of the past generation, the 13th generation reaches the international market with support for cables of the type Thunderbolt 4, which allow both data transfer at up to 40 Gbps and screen display in 4K resolution with a refresh rate of 60 Hz or dual 240 Full HD.

Moving on to the connectivity part, the models, which are part of the standard Intel Evolution, manage to use the new advanced connection management so that, automatically, the computer tests and decides the best connection so that the use of the internet does not present problems.

Another detail confirmed by Intel is the possibility of access points (via cable, Wi-Fi or via SIM) for different tasks. Leaving the theory, it is possible to use Wi-Fi only for video calls, the internet via wire for games and the cell phone for navigation that requires less data. This is also a way to ensure that all tasks are done as assertively as possible and without relying on a single internet point.

The new processors have support for points of WiFi 6E, technologies to work with 5G chips and Bluetooth LE audio. It is assured that users will have access to the best available for full use.

Finally, the Intel confirmed that your platform Unison, released with the 13th generation of desktop processors, will be available in models that will work in notebooks.
