14th Gen "Raptor Lake Refresh"

Apparently some spanish retailer already listed price(holders) for RPL-R

What you guys think? Final prices or just place holders? In Canada they listed them as 4% higher than 13 gen. 799€ for 14900K seems high imo...
 
Today I ordered the 13600k from OcUK. My Sandybridge 2500k from 2012 (when I joined the forum) is now a dead system. Despite being a Yorkshireman, I admit that now may be the time. The 6700k was already out when I got the 2500k but I aimed for solidity and value. I am now doing the same with the i5. Hopefully I get the same lifetime. Hope I'm in for a shock with performance, too.

Edit: I got it quite high on the Sandybridge 5Ghz and beyond thread (5.4!!!) but it settled into normal life at at 4.5Ghz on a mid-range mobo and was smooth sailing.

EditEdit: on air cooling

There is literally nothing to get excited about at all for 14th Gen, it is going to a rather damp squib at best. They can't increase pricing for something that offers nothing extra, good opportunity to lower 13th Gen pricing though.
 
OCUK listed £579 apparently for the 14900k.

14th Gen is not worth an upgrade for anyone, but if someone's building a new pc there is nothing fundamentally wrong with it, in isolation they are powerful chips

I'm surprised the price increases are that mild, the way Intel has been saying "we're going to increase prices" at every opportunity I'd have expected more

Think im pretty set on upgrading from my 12700k to possibly a 14700k, should be a relatively cheap step up after selling the 12700k.

Same im a little surprised they aren't more but then ocuk could always bump those prices up.

Sadly I need to build a new gaming machine by around December with Steam dropping Windows 7 support - so looks like a 14700K or 14900K it will have to be.

It's only a new gen on paper. For the i9, it's just a 200Mhz bump, which you'll not notice unless in isolation in benchmarks.

The i7 is more exciting, but then again a used 12900k or 13900k will probably be cheaper and pretty much identical performance.

I disagree, partially anyway. The 14700k will be a decent upgrade from my 12600 non K. More cores and faster clocks without changing platform seems like a win to me. I am sure others in a similar position to me and thinking about upgrading to a 14700k from a lesser cpu will also agree. Anyone on a 12900k/13900k going to a 14900k would be a waste of time and money though.

Those on 12th gen will save far more £ buying used 13th gen CPU's.

Same, I'm gonna go from 12900k to 14900k, but will wait for early reviews first and if the difference is marginal and impossible to justify will go for a used or like new 13900k.
