Thanks once again to Twitter hardware leaker 188号 (@momomo_us) for being vigilant in acquiring a screenshot before the listings were taken down. With the following Tweet, we now see the pricing for the four newest Intel processors and what will be available on the first release day, which is still unknown. “188号” has also provided pictures of the latest packaging for the Raptor Lake processors, which were recently reported to be slimmer than the previous packaging by Intel in an attempt to ship more processors out each time and increase the company’s chances of outselling AMD’s new Ryzen 7000 series. Also, the i9-13900K SKU will ship with a little plastic wafer inside the packaging.
— 188号 (@momomo_us) September 25, 2022 The Intel Core i9-12900KS was a particular edition variant of the Alder Lake series CPUs with a boost clock of 5.5 GHz. From the UK review sources on the Internet, the pricing is currently increased by 150 GBP compared to the Alder Lake i9-12900K initially launched in the United Kingdom. However, the current price of the Intel Gen Core i9-12900KF is retailing for 609 GBP in the UK. Also, the price of the i9-13900KF is similar in cost to Intel’s previous i9-12900KS on the day of launch. Both Intel Core i7-13700K & Core i7-13700KF CPUs are as much as 137 GBP higher than the Alder Lake predecessors (the i7-12700K and i7-12700KF). Lastly, the Core i5-13600KF is close to 80 GBP higher than its Alder Lake version, the i5-12500KF CPU. The pricing can change anytime, but at least hints at the possible starting costs of the newest Raptor Lake 13th Gen Core processors from Intel. To remind readers, we recently reported about Intel setting embargo lift dates for unboxing and reviews of the newest Raptor Lake processors, which may coincide with Intel’s Innovation event on September 27th.
