I have no interest in a raptor lake refresh.

Meteor lake is far more interesting, but only for its improved LPDDR5X controller and 128/192eu Xe HGP graphics chip, for the implications it will bring to the mobile space and competition against AMD's Radeon 680m. Hopefully those still come out in 2023, I'm going to be in need of a new laptop eventually.

I'll upgrade my 9900KS to 13900KS

That's a huge leap!... Should keep me going until future "Nova Lake" (Intel 18A)

I suspect Raptor Lake Refresh well have double the cache and will have the same clocks or less most likely copying what AMD is doing with big cache!

There's lots of room in the LGA 1800 Socket...already has a more advanced socket than AMD AM5 Socket "1710"

Meteor Lake/Arrow Lake both using Socket V1 (LGA 1851)

Cheers,

Oddly enough, Sapphire Rapids confirmed that they had a certain amount of sales in Q4 2022 despite the fact that they have not officially launched. The explanation for this was given in their Q2 2022 Earnings Call, and it seems that they are not taking official orders because yields are not at a profitable level, but they are selling dies that meet their quality standards as production inventory. They could launch new products to showcase their technological capabilities, but there is no need to do so now, and they are probably steering more toward profit.

As for Meteor lake, I would guess that it is in a state similar to 10nm SuperFin at the time of Tiger lake. Based on Intel's current management policy, it does not appear that they are close to Cannon Lake.
Intel is a generous god, you have to pay for QS samples as an OEM
