Intel’s 13th generation Raptor Lake lineup is officially out in the open, as evidenced by our Core i9-13900K review that came out last night. The one thing missing from the review, however, was the local pricing for these CPUs, until the chipmaker’s embargo lifted.
As of last night, authorised resellers and retailers posted up the local SRP for Intel’s 13th generation, with a total of six SKUs. Technically speaking, there are just three variants of Raptor Lake at the moment, the Core i5-13600K, Core i7-13700K, and the Core i9-13900K. The other three models are the “KF” models of each variant, which are basically just the CPUs without integrated graphics.
Moving on, both the 13th generation Core i5-13600KF and 13600K will retail for RM1359 and RM1499, respectively. Both processors features 14-cores and 20-threads, comprised of 6 P-Cores and 8 E-Cores. They also have a base and boost clock of 3.9GHz and 5.1GHz, along with an L3 Cache of 24MB.
Going up the ladder, you’ll find both Intel’s 13th generation Core i7-13700KF and 13700K, both of which are, surprisingly, the new middle-ground for gamers looking for that price-to-performance balance. These CPUs come with 16-cores and 24-threads, while pricing for the two CPUs is set at RM1829 and RM1948, respectively. Specs-wise, both processors share a base and boost clock of 4.2GHz and 5.3GHz, along with a larger 30MB L3 Cache.
Last but not least, and sitting high on the pedestals, are the 13th generation Core i9-13900KF and 13900K. Specs-wise, we’re looking at 24-cores and 32-threads, a base and boost clock of 4.3GHz and 5.8GHz, respectively. As well as an L3 Cache of 36MB. As for how much they cost, the 13900KF and 13900K retail for RM2599 and RM2799, respectively.
All Intel 13th generation CPUs are based on an improved version of the chipmaker’s self-titled Intel 7 process, which is essentially a 10nm die lithography. We’ll be putting up a review of the Core i5-13600K a little later, so be sure to check that out.
