How to watch Intel CES 2023 announcements

It’s the first week of the new year, which means CES is just around the corner. The 2023 technology expo is likely to be the biggest in three years, and the last two years have been hit hard by Covid.

This means that many people will travel to Las Vegas to see the announcements in person, but many more people will follow the news virtually. Most companies broadcast keynotes live around the world, you can watch most of the important announcements from the comfort of your own home.

Unfortunately, this does not include Intel this year. The American chip maker is expected to significantly expand its range of 13th generation processors at CES, but there are no signs of any developments for the public to watch.

Will Intel be present at CES 2023?

Intel has confirmed that it will be attending CES 2023, but only through an “invitation-only demo and meeting area” for people who attend in person.

Unlike past years, there is no specific main theme to tune in to live. There are rumors that there will be announcements today, January 3, 2023, but this is most likely just through press releases. We have contacted Intel to confirm this.

Any announcements will likely be made available in the Intel news section, but you can get all the news about the 13th Gen Raptor Lake right here.

What to expect from Intel at CES 2023

As mentioned above, the new 13th generation processors are expected to be Intel’s main announcement at CES. Only six have been announced for desktop so far, but there should be many more.

However, more important news will be the mobile versions that will run many of the best laptops in 2023 and possibly beyond. Judging by last year’s Alder Lake, the Core lineup will be divided into the H-series (for enthusiasts), the P-series (for thin and light devices), and the U-series (for more affordable devices). You can also count on budget Pentium processors.

We probably won’t wait long for the first Raptor Lake laptops to be announced, possibly also at CES 2023. However, don’t expect them to go on sale until March or later.

Elsewhere, we also expect to hear more about the mid-range B760 motherboard. Updates to the Intel Evo platform, supposedly now requiring Raptor Lake processors rather than Alder Lake. It’s also possible that new criteria will be added to make eligible laptops, 2-in-1s and tablets meet even higher standards.

Of course, all this is based on rumors and predictions. But it doesn’t look like official announcements are around the corner.
