We all already know the plans of Intel and its next generation Raptor Lake Refresh, we have a lot of information about what it will be, where it will arrive and how they plan it to be, but so far we don’t had no clear release date.
But that has changed, and thanks to a leak, we now know when we’ll be able to see these new processors on sale, or at least their official release.
Release Date Raptor Lake Refreshment
The 14th generation of the next processors from the Intel company will be week 42 of this 2023. This means that they would be presented between October 17 and 23
This data comes from a Chinese portal known for this type of leak, and which usually never fails, so we consider this date very reliable and it is likely that it will be there when Intel officially reveals everything to us.
Their statement also says the following (Chinese – Spanish translation)
Raptor Lake Refresh CPU time is gradually clearing up. The K series will be in 2023 WW42, and the non-K will be in 2024 WW1, with a high probability of CES. The new 8P+12E configuration I mentioned earlier, the high probability is 14700K. The existing BIOS of each board factory can basically enable RPL Refresh directly, except for the new 8P+12E. Arrow Lake has no update time point and the corresponding chipset is Z890 B860 H810. It looks like there will be no H870 this time around. The other Storm Peak will be in Q4 2023, and there will be two new chipsets to match that CPU. There is a high probability that Zen5 this year will be fake news, and he is an extreme fan of YY. Originally AMD had other materials, but after thinking about it I pulled it out, so hurry up and have some secret fun.
As for more information revealed, we know that the i7-14700K could come with 20 hearts (8 high performance cores and 12 low power cores).
It is claimed that any Raptor Lake Refresh processor will be compatible with all existing motherboards. However, since this specific 8+12 core configuration is new, a mandatory BIOS update is required for the processor to be recognized and work properly.
The most awaited novelty of these processors will be energy consumption, notably reducing the current one without altering its power. One of the most characteristic points of this next 14 generation of the Intel brand.
And for now little more, the details we know are these. It is an expected generation and that it will take place very soon, since the first rumors positioned it around the first quarter of 2024, but apparently it will arrive much earlier and We will see it this same month of October of this 2023.
Everything therefore indicates that it will be shortly, during the summer, that all the last details pending before the launch will be known and filtered. We will be attentive and we will bring you all the novelties that will come out while waiting to be able to test them physically, that’s what we are looking forward to.
