Intel has accidentally published the specifications for its 13th Gen Raptor Lake processors. A day after confirming an upcoming 13th Gen CPU will run at 6GHz at stock, Intel published and quickly deleted specs for its Core i5-13600K, Core i7-13700K, and Core i9-13900K CPUs.
Intel posted the specs to its Canadian website (Google cached view), and Twitter users were quick to spot them. The specs reveal that the top of the line i9 13900K will have 24 cores and 32 threads, with the performance cores running at a maximum frequency of 5.4GHz. The i7 13700K will ship with 16 cores and 24 threads, with up to 5.3GHz on the performance cores. Finally, the i5 13600K comes with 14 cores and 20 threads, and a maximum frequency of 5.1GHz on the performance cores.

All of this information matches up with leaked slides that appeared online last week. The official-looking slides also mentioned that both the 13th Gen Core i9 and Core i7 processors will be able to use two performance cores to boost up to 5.8GHz using Intel’s Thermal Velocity Boost.
Intel still hasn’t officially announced its 13th Gen Raptor Lake processors, but the company has teased a 15 percent improvement in single-threaded performance, and a 41 percent improvement in multi-threaded performance. AMD is set to launch its 16-core Ryzen 9 7950X chip later this month, and it will be capable of boosting up to 5.7GHz. Intel claims at least one of its 13th Gen chips will be able to run at 6GHz at stock.
We’ll hear a lot more about Intel’s 13th Gen plans during the company’s innovation event on September 27th. It just so happens to be on the same day AMD is releasing its Zen 4 Ryzen 7000 processors.
Fortnite is teasing its next season, which will seemingly feature a weird chrome goop.
Capital letters in a Twitter thread spell out the word CHROME. Some teaser images show hands reaching out from under the weird goop, including one that could be Gwen Stacy from Spider-Man. (Perhaps she’ll be a battle pass skin?) Epic even made a strange TikTok video where the goop consumes a cereal box. The new season, titled Paradise, kicks off on September 18th.

Tim Cook was at the US Capitol today.
It appears to be an unannounced visit — unrelated to the Homeland Security hearing going on at the same time. Do you know why Mr. Apple went to Washington? Let me know!

Still wondering why this site works the way it does? Here’s the inside story.
On today’s Vergecast, we talked all about the new site, the future of The Verge, the future of news, the future of the internet, the future of everything, and our feelings about all of it.
Yo dawg, Microsoft heard you like widgets.
So it put some widgets in your widgets so you can see weather while you check your stocks and widget around. (Microsoft is testing a fullscreen widgets board for Windows 11).

Animation continues to be a casualty of the streaming wars.
First, Netflix canceled a number of animation projects and laid off 70 employees, then HBO Max pulled multiple animated shows leaving creators and fans shocked and with little recourse.
Now Deadline has confirmed that 30 more employees are being laid off from Netflix Animation. Animation is historically a pricier form of entertainment than reality TV or scripted live-action content, and that makes it, unfortunately, a prime focus for companies looking to balance their books.
The next Amazon union election is coming up.
On October 12th, workers at the ALB1 warehouse in Albany, New York will start voting on whether to unionize with the Amazon Labor Union — the same group that successfully organized the JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island. Votes will be counted on October 18th, according to the National Labor Relations Board.
Supposed RTX 4090 pic shows some big GPUs on the way.
Zotac’s upcoming GPUs look like they’re going to have some curves, based a photo posted to Chinese social network Baidu (via PC Gamer). Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is keynoting the company’s GTC 2022 conference on September 20th, so maybe we’ll hear official details about RTX 40-series cards then.

The Toronto International Film Festival 2022 is underway and we have reviews.
TIFF kicked off last week, and I’ve been braving the crowds to check out an unhealthy amount of movies since then. Watching three movies a day for a week is hard work, I swear. You can read my thoughts on some of my favorites so far: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, and Pearl.
South Korea fined Meta and Google for using personal info without consent.
Meta was fined around $22 million and Google around $50 million — a fraction of their revenue, but part of a protracted global crackdown on lax privacy policies. Meta says it’s considering fighting the decision in court.
Crypto villain Do Kwon is wanted by authorities in South Korea.
Kwon, the founder of Terraform Labs, was at the center of crypto’s biggest scandal this year: the cataclysmic collapse of Luna/Terra coins from $60 billion to zero. South Korean authorities issued the warrant for his arrest on “allegations that include violations of the nation’s capital markets law,” Bloomberg reports. Kwon is in Singapore.
Will inflation lead to more entry-level gadgets?
This summer I wrote about how tech products may be insulated from inflation more than consumables, but they are far from immune.
Today, Janko Roettgers over at Protocol makes a compelling argument using recent releases from Roku and Sonos and rumored stuff coming soon from Google as evidence that inflation will result in more budget gadget options for us consumers:
Gaze upon the Dynamic Island’s subpixel antialiasing.
In true Apple fashion, the company built a new display system for the iPhone 14 Pro to make the edges of the island three times crisper than the rest of iOS, to make it feel more like hardware. Our full review goes into it!
The sports streaming wars might get even more confusing.
A few weeks ago, the Big Ten conference signed a huge and confusing deal for sports rights. And it sounds like ESPN, which owns the rights to the soon-to-be-expanding College Football Playoff, might change some things too. Here’s ESPN chief Jimmy Pitaro to Bloomberg:
“We’ve been clear to anyone who is interested that we are very willing to be flexible here and be creative in terms of this expansion.”
That’s business speak for “give me a number, Bezos and Cook.”
Netflix will try to remind you what you’re paying for with another fan event next week.
Despite this spring’s layoffs (and a brand that some exiting writers couldn’t pronounce), Netflix is still making Tudum a thing, including the second edition of its global fan event next week on September 24th.
This new trailer doesn’t give anything away, but Netflix needs to prove to me that it has more than games to offer as a reason to keep it in the subscription streaming rotation.
Your vomit may be valuable a few million years from now.
According to an article in the journal Palaios, paleontologists are enthusiastically examining a bunch of bones apparently regurgitated from a predator in Utah 150 million years ago. The fossil they found contains the remains of an unlucky frog or tadpole that was some predator’s lunch back in prehistoric times.
