Canadian Retailer Listings of "Raptor Lake" Confirm Max Boost Frequencies of Key SKUs

[btarunr]

The flagship Core i9-13900K/KF "Raptor Lake" processor could come with a maximum boost frequency as high as 5.80 GHz, according to early store listings by a Canadian retailer that mentions the processor's retail SKU. This would be the highest possible clock speed sustained by the "Raptor Cove" P-cores of the processor, with its best available boosting algorithm (Intel processors tend to have many). The listing also reveals the maximum boost frequency of the Core i7-13700K/KF to be 5.40 GHz. Intel typically gives its unlocked Core i7 SKUs one less boosting algorithm than the Core i9, besides lower frequencies. The fastest mid-range part from the series, the Core i5-13600K, ticks at speeds of up to 5.10 GHz.

The listings see the Core i9-13900K go for CAD $941 (USD $727), the i9-13900KF at CAD $901 (USD $696), the Core i7-13700K at CAD $663 (USD $512), the i7-13700KF at CAD $626 (USD $484); the mid-range Core i5-13600K at CAD $461 ($356), and the i5-13600KF at CAD $424 (USD $327). These prices may seem high as they're pre-launch listings, and hardware in Canada tends to be slightly pricier than in the States. Going by launch prices of the 12th Gen Alder Lake, Intel seems to be raising the launch prices of "Raptor Lake" by a single-digit percentage.

I think the title should be

"Intel 13th gen Series Retailer Pricing 10% to 15% Higher Than 12th gen"

So to match the AMD counterpart we saw last week.

That might be the only heating option for many European residents this winter.

I better ask the boss for a raise....

Looking for under dog chips. 13400F + BCLK 200bucks? (That's being super hopeful, I know)!!

13400+ddr4+12th gen mobo seems killer for value.

Are you retired? So asking the wife for permission?

Retired from grinding competitive benchmarking. Not to completely hang the hobby up, just for a while. Typing this while actively benching lol.

I think a 13400F slapped into my current board would be sexylent! I mean the 12400F I have easily spanks AMD systems minus having a core count beyond most people's use..... aiming at E cores there....

My wife has no influence on my hobby and how much I spend or don't. She could care less. All the bills are paid first, so it's all good

Where are all the 'accidental info leak' about non-k, sane 65W, cpu?

Way more important and relevant to the vast majority of us.

If you check retailer 12th gen prices/margins, check the difference/margin between 13th gen K/KF, check what margin for 13th gen correlate, the prices should be at max as i suggested in the past:

13900KS $799 (+$60)
13900K $649 (+$60)
13700K $459 (+$50)
13600K $319 (+$30)
13400. $219 (+$27)

In order to run a large number of cores at reasonable power, K-variant uses better chips than non-K. For example, if PL1 is set to 65W and PL2 to 125W for 12900/K/KS equally, the 12900KS will have the highest performance per watt. However, it is rare for someone to have a 12900KS and choose not to use it without limitation.

Cool info bro, but what is the connection to what you quote from my post?

Perhaps i will keep my 12700k for winter and use a new AM5 rig for gaming, and my old 12700k for keeping my feet warm

I see your point.

Based on the results with ADL, the non-K variant is expected to be launched three months later, so the non-K is not yet in the hands of testers to begin with.

They will have to fire up the coal plants even faster!
