13th Gen Embargo?

TheSoupladel · 19 Oct 2022 at 12:41

I know the launch of the CPUs is tomorrow 20th, but does the review embargo lift at the same time as the launch or do we get official reviews today?

I'm hoping today, but I have a nasty feeling it will be tomorrow.

thank you, i had seen something about it being today, but hadn't seen any reviewer mention anything when the reviews would be out/the embargo lifts

tomorrow

Certainly starting to look that way. No sign of any reviews yet.

Really hate that you don’t know how good something is before buying.

I have pre-ordered the 13900kf, but would have been nice to know if worth £200 more than my 12900K

You can. That is literally the whole advantage of not pre-ordering.

It won't be worth £200 more than the 13700K

I preordered as got the 13900KF for £630.
When everyone else is charging £680.

OC have put up their prices just before launch I see.

Yes the site I preordered from has put up their price as well.
So thought maybe the price was a slight glitch.

Any excuse for OCUK to gouge. Their pricing is shocking.

Pre-ordered my 13700KF for £453, not sure if that went up.

AM5 expensive right, ha ha.

The only reason AM5 was seen as expensive was the need for a new motherboard, ram and CPU but if you aren't already on 12th Gen, they you would likely need to buy all those things anyway
