Raptor Lake Leaks + Intel 4 developments

It’s going to be an expensive generation all round from the looks of it! Probably time for me to keep a setup longer than a year without upgrading something (doh)

I'd imagine the 13700K will be more like <£499, since it is a larger die sized 12900K and Intel really need to be making good profit due to their decreasing market share. Luckily for them the AMD chips aren't going to be super mega bargains either, so its not like they'd lose too many sales due to price differential.

It where the newer 13400 comes in in 2023 that will really determine a good deal or not, but it is looking like £250+.
 
it's more than a 10 percent increase.

12700K msrp + 10 percent = £413.80

inc 20 percent VAT = £496.56

Those prices look a little high, maybe other shops will sell them for a bit less?

It does look like the 7700X will be going up against the 13700 (non K).

Are there any benchmarks done on proper CPU intensive games these days? Would like to know how it runs something like Stellaris late game, not some FPS already running at 200FPS...

Would be nice if some of these reviewers did actually review some CPU heavy games, like Civ or Paradox titles. I get that they review 'those that most people play' but these cpu updates each generation actually help in these types of games a lot much more than GPU generations.

Intel may have bumped the prices but don't forget a 13600k will probably end up beating a 7700X.

I've been thinking the same thing. Something like Hoi4b or CK3. Or a total war Warhammer 3 immortal empires turn time etc
 
@Joxeon

The 12600K + DDR5 is more than 10 precent around 6 percent behind the 7600X in minimum framerate (on average):

Average-p.webp


So, I don't expect miracles for the 13600K. The boost clock rate is only around 4 percent higher than the boost clock of the 12900K (4.9ghz).

Also, the locked 13600 is based on the same core technology as Alder Lake, aka Oldman Lake.

I can only guess that Intel's production costs are higher for their 10nm process / Intel 7, in 2022.

Meanwhile, relative to the rather high $450 launch price for an 8 core Zen 3 CPU, the prices have come down a bit, to $400 for Zen 4. With the price for 6 cores remaining the same.

Still gonna need 8 P cores to compete with zen 4 in games ;)
