Intel Raptor Lake: Alleged prices at least twelve percent more expensive than Alder Lake [Gerücht]


from Oliver Jaeger –
Leaker and youtuber Moore’s Law is Dead has called unconfirmed price ranges for the six Raptor Lake CPUs that will be unveiled next week. The flagship Core i9-13900K should therefore cost up to 729 US dollars. Overall, according to Moore’s Law is Dead, Raptor Lake lowest prices are at least 12 percent above Alder Lake list prices.

Meanwhile, new rumors about the pricing of Intel’s upcoming 13th generation processors come from YouTuber and leaker Moore’s Law is Dead. This released price ranges for Intel’s first six Raptor Lake K and KF CPUs, which the company will officially unveil to the public on September 27th.

Moore’s Law is Dead explains that this is subject to last-minute adjustments and may differ from region to region and retailer to retailer. However, the prices he has quoted appear to be final at the moment, he adds. In any case, this is what the rumored prices for the upcoming Raptor Lake CPUs should look like:

  • Core i9-13900K: $659 – $729 (Core i9-12900K MSRP: $589)
  • Core i9-13900KF: $629 – $699 (Core i9-12900KF MSRP: $564)
  • Core i7-13700K: $459 – $519 (Core i7-12700K MSRP: $409)
  • Core i7-13700KF: $439 – $489 (Core i7-12700KF MSRP: $384)
  • Core i5-13600K: $329 – $349 (Core i5-12600K MSRP: $289)
  • Core i5-13600KF: $299 – $329 (Core i5-12600KF MSRP: $264)

Raptor Lake will be more expensive than Alder Lake and will compete with Ryzen 7000

This information is not list prices, but rather dealer prices that result from them. The MSRPs for each CPU may be on the lower end of the price spectrum or slightly higher. Compared to the list prices of the corresponding Alder Lake counterparts, this results in a price overrun of at least 12 and at most 14 percent.

Looking at the competition from AMD and Ryzen 7000, Intel doesn’t seem to want to enter into a big undercutting battle, since the list prices of the first four Ryzen 7000 processors are roughly at the same level as the prices quoted by Moore’s Law is Dead for Raptor Lake. However, since AMD has maintained the price level of the Raphael CPUs after Alder Lake instead of lowering them, Intel can probably also set its prices higher. Ultimately, Moore’s Law is Dead still speaks of rising Alder Lake prices for dealers, although it has not been finally clarified here whether Intel will officially adjust the list price.
