Intel has confirmed a 6GHz Raptor Lake processor
At the Intel Tech Tour event in Israel, the company shared its plans for the generation of Raptor Lake processors. The Raptor Lake family is confirmed to have a processor clocked up to 6GHz.
When such a processor will be released and with what name is unknown. An obvious candidate for reaching the maximum frequency will be the top model KS – such processors are usually released a few months after the release of representatives of the K series.
OK sorry reconfirmed this.#IntelTechTour : PRL only exists because MTL wasn't going to be ready on time. RPL dev started 2 yr ago. GPU RTL and IO RTL hasn't changed from ADL. 41% improved MT perf of RPL over ADL, 15% ST, based on SPECint207.

The company also says that Raptor Lake will increase performance compared to the previous generation by 15% in single-threaded tasks and by 41% using parallel computing.
‘The Intel Raptor Lake series only exists because Meteor Lake won’t be ready at the right time,’ Intel VP Isic Silas said at the event, commenting on the release of the 13th generation.
Intel also said that Raptor Lake is the first architecture that will be able to conquer the 8 GHz bar. This is confirmed by leaked data on the overclocking of fast cores of the new processor to a similar frequency.
The thirteenth generation of Intel processors will be presented at the Innovation event on September 27 – the same day that AMD will start selling the Ryzen 7000.
