Intel’s 14th Gen Raptor Lake refresh processors could be in line for a core count boost over the current 13th Gen models according to leaked details.

    Always keen for more cores, but even new games seem to struggle to scale linearly with cores, most seem to support 4-6 cores if you’re lucky, with extra cores being somewhat lackluster.

      @AnonymousLlama Especially E-cores, for games they are nearly useless, only good for offloading other tasks and maybe for decompression in few titles. But for productivity, that’s a nice boost.

        On any Windows but 11, they can even be detrimental as there’s no P-Core priority for games.
        The only thing that fixed my constant stuttering in Metro Exodus was disabling the E-Cores in the BIOS, smoother games ever since.

    Leak / rumor is sourced off MLID. He’s absolutely garbage as a source. Worse than a pure guess.

    It could very well be correct, but there’s absolutely zero credence to it based off the source.
