PC-Canada Listings Reveal 14th Gen Core i9-14900K, i7-14700K & i5-14600K CPU Prices

[T0@st]

PC-Canada's online store has been updated with several pages of Intel 14th Gen Core/Raptor Lake Refresh processors—this is yet another example of an embargo busting mistake. Telemart Ukraine revealed a small total of six SKUs around late August, but pricing was not included on their placeholder product pages back then. Our friends in Canada have removed all relevant retail information from public view, but momomo_us and a handful of hardware news sites have preserved these details. We get another look at previously leaked model names in K and KF guises, with some "initial" pricing—subject to change by Team Blue decree—starting at $415.99 CAD for the Core i5-14600KF, and topping out with the Core i9-14900K at $833.99 CAD.

Analysis of these "early" prices reveals a slightly smaller than expected hike over charges for the previous generation. VideoCardz has eyeballed the numbers: "A quick comparison with the current pricing of the 13th Gen Core series reveals that these initial prices are surprisingly not as high as one might have anticipated, with an average increase of only 4% or a range of 2% to 7%." Check out their diagram below. The Raptor Lake Refresh K and KF-series desktop lineup is expected to launch on October 17 (according to previous leaks)—Intel's upcoming Innovation Event kicks off next week, where an official unveiling is set to take place.

If this pricing comes true then it seems that the 14700/K/KF's will be the best value for the refresh.

Small boost in clocks plus an extra 4 e'cores.

From what I've been reading online only the 14700 series will get any additional cores.

Will it be any better binned than 13700K?
Meaning will it have bigger frequency than it and/or lower voltages?

You would think so, yes.

Anyone has any idea whats the cache gonna be like for the 14700K? for P-Cores

3% higher cost for 3% more performance seems about right XD

Lol what a waste of time. Way overpriced CPU line up. Not seeing any 'value' here... 400 bucks for a midrange is taking things way too far, as it was, and as it is.

7800X3D's go for 399,- now...
7900X goes for 429,-

And that's EUR + 21% VAT, go figure

Funny thing is, even if the price was in USD, the i5 part beats the 7800x 3d handily in both multi and single threaded performance for the same price.
