After the huge leaks of GTA VI and Diablo IV, there is now even more information for the general public that they shouldn’t actually get to yet. This time, however, it’s not about game scenes, but about hardware prices, which are far less explosive, but still interesting.
The hardware dealer from Berlin Caseking hat sea Computerbase.de accidentally published the euro prices of the new Raptor Lake processors. Intel’s new CPUs will not actually be released for sale until October 20th, but prices between 374.90 dollars and 749.90 dollars have already been seen.
That’s the cost of Raptor Lake
Six new models of the Core i 13000 series will be released in about two weeks. Among them are two i5, i7 and i9 models each, which are provided with a K or a KF in the model name. That K
Ffor removing the integrated graphics unit.
Strictly speaking, it is about the models Core i9 13900K and Core i9 13900KF, Core i7 13700K and Core i7 13700KF as well as Core i5 13600K and Core i5 13600KF. This will be Intel’s official starting lineup in the race against AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series. All information about the processor competition, including technical data, prices and availability, can be found in the following article:

The KF processors without an integrated GPU are intended for people who already have a dedicated graphics card in their PC and do not need on-board graphics.
So far, only US prices were known, which ranged from $294 to $589 excluding tax rates. According to Caseking, the following prices can be expected in Europey:
model | Kerne (P+E) / Threads | Base/Boost Clock Speed (P-Core) | Cache | TDP (PL1/PL2) | Price in $* |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Core i9 13900K | 24 (8 + 16) / 32 | 3,0 / 5,8 GHz | 32 + 36 MB | 150 / 253 Watt | 749,90 |
Core i9 13900KF | 24 (8 + 16) / 32 | 3,0 / 5,8 GHz | 32 + 36 MB | 150 / 253 Watt | 714,90 |
Core i7 13700K | 16 (8 + 16) / 24 | 3,4 / 5,4 GHz | 24 + 30 MB | 150 / 253 Watt | 539,00 |
Core i7 13700KF | 16 (8 + 16) / 24 | 3,4 / 5,4 GHz | 24 + 30 MB | 150 / 253 Watt | 499,90 |
Core i5 13600K | 14 (6 + 8) / 20 | 3,5 / 5,1 GHz | 20 + 24 MB | 125 / 182 Watt | 409,90 |
Core i5 13600KF | 14 (6 + 8) / 20 | 3,5 / 5,1 GHz | 20 + 24 MB | 125 / 182 Watt | 374,90 |
As expected, the cost would be a fair bit higher than the current Core i 12000 generation. The Core i9 12900K is currently available from around 630 dollars, the 12700K is around 440 dollars and the Core i5 12600K comes to 330 dollars.
AMD’s current top model with 16 cores in the form of the Ryzen 9 7950X is around 830 dollars, the Ryzen 9 7900X with twelve cores costs around 650 dollars, the Ryzen 7 7700X with eight cores 470 dollars and the Ryzen 5 7600X with six cores is available from around 360 dollars.
