22 Raptor Lake CPUs Confirmed As Microsoft Lists Down Intel’s 13th Gen Chips Supported By Windows 11 Version 22H2
Over a week ago, Gigabyte posted information on supported Intel processors for their new line of Z790 motherboards on its website. In that information, there was a listing of twenty-two new processors, all from the upcoming Raptor Lake line. Microsoft Windows support page was recently updated because of the latest update for the Windows 11 22H2 OS version, which lists the exact twenty-two Intel processors. The company has now confirmed that the newest Intel Raptor Lake CPUs have been released. So far, Intel has only confirmed the specifications of its 13th Gen Raptor Lake “K” or Unlocked parts which includes just six SKUs. The rest of the Non-K lineup not only launches later but Intel has yet to confirm its specifications.
