In addition to various new digital hardware products, CES 2023 is also an important stage for PC DIY hardware manufacturers and OEM manufacturers to display their new products. In particular, upstream hardware suppliers such as Intel , AMD, Nvidia and other upstream hardware suppliers will launch the latest processors, graphics cards and other core hardware at this node, and introduce their latest technologies, thereby promoting the overall upgrading of the PC industry.
Not surprisingly, during next year’s CES 2023 exhibition, the three major hardware manufacturers will also launch a new generation of products. Taking this opportunity, Lei Technology will use recent breaking news to make a forward-looking look at these upcoming new products, hoping to help everyone.
Intel: Mobile and desktop keep pace
In September this year, Intel officially released the 13th generation Intel Core processor Raptor at its own ON Technology Innovation Summit. The Lake-S product family initially includes six mid-to-high-end desktop processors including Core i9-13900K/KF, Core i7-13700K/KF, Core i5-13600K/KF, etc. As for mobile processors and mainstream price products with non-K suffixes, they have not yet been launched.
Recently, Intel announced that it will participate in the CES 2023 exhibition from January 5 to January 8, 2023. According to previous practice, Intel will continue to improve the 13th generation Core family product line during CES 2023, and actively launch various finished products with OEM partners to occupy more market segments.

Let’s talk about desktop processors first. According to existing news, Intel will use the 13th generation The product line of Core desktop processors is fully rolled out. Non-K models such as Core i3-13100, i5-13400, and Core i7-13700 will be fully launched to replace the existing Core i3-12100, i5-12400, and Core i7-12700. The F models without core display will also be launched simultaneously.
Judging from the summary chart produced by foreign media, except for the i3-13100 which simply increases the frequency, i5-13400 and i7-13700 generally add four E-Cores. Although the P-Core process has not changed, Intel believes that after adding additional E-Core and increasing the frequency, the cost performance of these mainstream price models will be further improved, and they are expected to compete with the new AMD Zen 4 products.

In addition to these main-selling products, the i9-13900KS, which has been repeatedly warmed up before, is also expected to make its debut at CES 2023. It is currently known that this product has 24 cores, 32 threads, and 32MB L3 cache. Under Intel's TVB overclocking technology, the maximum core frequency can reach 6GHz. The Cinebench R23 single-core running score reaches 2366 points and the multi-core running score can reach 40998 points. Compared with the competing product R9 7950X, it is 15% and 8% higher. It may be the most powerful consumer-grade processor in the world.

As for the mobile side, according to Intel's official data, the 13th generation mobile Core processors will still be divided into 15W U series, 28W P series, 45W H series and 55W HX series, but the overall configuration and performance will not change as dramatically as the previous generation.

Judging from the existing foreign media news, the P series and H series for thin and light notebook users will The specifications of 6P-Core + 8E-Core are maintained, and the cache capacity of each core is also maintained at 1.25MB. The biggest change is that the frequency is further increased. Even the core display specifications are consistent with the previous two generations of mobile terminals and Core . Therefore, it can be speculated that the P series and H series of the 13th generation Core will not cause qualitative changes in performance.

As for the HX series for gaming laptops/design laptops, it has received a comprehensive upgrade. Not only does it share the same chip design with the desktop processor, the highest specification is 8P-Core + 24E-Core, but it will also have a larger secondary cache capacity, which will bring qualitative improvements in multi-threaded performance and games. At CES 2023, we should see a series of flagship gaming laptops equipped with HX series processors, which is really exciting.
AMD: Improving the Zen4 product line
Intel is very ambitious, and AMD will naturally not sit still and wait for death. In August this year, AMD launched four Ryzen 7000 X series desktop processors based on 5nm process and Zen 4 microarchitecture. Coming to CES 2023, AMD will also conduct a more comprehensive deployment of the Zen 4 microarchitecture product line.
According to foreign media reports, recently leaked slides show that coinciding with CES 2023, AMD is expected to launch Ryzen 7000 non-X series processors on January 10. The TDP of these processors will be lower than those with X models, and the price will be more affordable. According to the available information, the parameters and Geekbench scores of the three processors are as follows:
R9 7900: 12 cores and 24 threads, Boost frequency 5.4GHz, single core 2121, multi-core 18607
R7 7700: 8 cores and 16 threads, Boost frequency 5.3GHz, single core 2074, multi-core 14061
R5 7600: 6 cores and 12 threads, Boost frequency 5.1GHz, single core 2012, multi-core 11326

From the perspective of running scores, the performance of AMD non-X series processors limited to 65W TDP is actually very close to the X series, and the R9 7900 can provide R9 7900X 97% of the performance, R7 7700 can provide 92% of the performance of the R7 7700X, and R5 7600 can provide 98% of the performance of the R5 7600X. Unfortunately, although the initial prices of the three products are relatively affordable, there does not seem to be any advantage compared to the existing pricing of the X series.

In addition to the new desktop processor, AMD will also launch the mobile Ryzen 7000 processor. Judging from the information currently known, in addition to the vest version, there are two new models of the Ryzen 7000 series processors to be released. One of them is the U, HS, HX series processors using the Zen 4 architecture, using the RDNA3 architecture core display, and the core display frequency has been increased.
The other is the "heterogeneous" version, which has two versions, PHX and PHX2. This version uses AMD's high-density multi-threaded architecture specially customized for cloud-native applications - Zen4C small core. The former has up to 8-core Zen4 CPU + 12CU RDNA core display and consumes 15-35W power. The latter has up to 2-core Zen4 + 4-core Zen4C CPU and up to 4CU RNDA3 core display and consumes 15-28W power.

Although the actual performance of the AMD Zen4C small core is not yet clear, judging from AMD's consistently strong energy consumption ratio, as long as the performance of the large and small cores is properly scheduled, the "heterogeneous" version of the mobile Ryzen 7000 processor is still worth looking forward to.
Nvidia: Rewriting the mobile graphics card layout
Both Intel and AMD are preparing to show off a lot of good things, and Nvidia will naturally not be absent. According to exposed news, Nvidia is ready to release a new batch of RTX 40 series mobile graphics cards at CES 2023, including the new mobile card king RTX 4090/RTX 4080Ti.
In fact, it is not difficult to find that due to the limitation of notebook cooling capacity, chip area and power consumption control, starting from the RTX 30 series, desktop and mobile graphics cards have to use cores of different sizes. For example, the mobile RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU uses the smaller GA103 core, and its actual performance is almost the same as the desktop RTX 3060Ti.
Judging from the news from VideoCardz, the actual core size of the mobile RTX 40 series GPU is still greatly reduced compared to the desktop RTX 40 series. The mobile RTX 4090 does not use the flagship AD102 GPU of the desktop RTX 4090, but uses the AD103 GPU of the desktop RTX 4080, and the total power consumption will not exceed 175W.

Although it cannot be compared with the desktop, if compared with the mobile terminal, the mobile RTX 4090 can indeed surpass the RTX 3080Ti in terms of the number of CUDA units, memory performance, etc., coupled with more advanced DLSS 3.0, fourth-generation Tensor Cores and third-generation RT The blessing of Cores, combined with the new generation of mobile processors from Intel and AMD, can further improve the frame rate experience of game notebooks.
Summary
Overall, CES 2023 is definitely a feast that DIY hardware players cannot miss. The three chip manufacturers of Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA will launch more new products, and PC manufacturers such as Lenovo , Asus , Acer will also hold new product launches, or will be equipped with new iterations of processors, graphics cards and other configurations for the first time. It is also expected to bring innovative notebook forms and more black technology experiences.
After CES opens in early January, we will also summarize more interesting digital-related information for you, so remember to keep an eye on Lei Technology.
