Intel Raptor Lake CPUs Can Be Considerably More Expensive Than 12th Gen Core

The first Intel Raptor Lake processors are about to arrive. An example of this is a Canadian store that already lists the 13th generation SKUs, from the Core i5-13600KF to the i9-13900K, with prices ranging from $424 to $945 Canadian dollars. Pricing shows a significant increase over equivalent Alder Lake family CPUs.

The find comes from the well-known leaker momomo_US, which posted prints of ads for Alder Lake CPUs from different Canadian stores. For example, while an i7-12700K retails for $565.99, the i7-13700k is priced at $662.99, nearly 100 Canadian dollars more at the same store.

See below for a list of prices in Canadian Dollars (with conversion to US Dollars) between the 12th and 13th generations of Intel CPUs.

Raptor and Alder Lake CPU Values

• Core i9-13900K – $940.99 CAD = $725
• Core i9-12900K – $817.99 CAD = $630
• Core i9-13900KF – $900.99 CAD = $694
• Core i9-12900KF – $770.99 CAD = $594
• Core i7-13700K – $662.99 CAD = $511
• Core i7-12700K – $565.99 CAD = $436
• Core i7-13700KF – $625.99 CAD = $482
• Core i7-12700KF – $539.99 CAD = $416
• Core i5-13600K – $460.99 CAD = $355
• Core i5-12600K – $398.99 CAD = $307
• Core i5-13600KF – $423.99 CAD = $326
• Core i5-12600KF – $355.99 CAD = $274

According to Videocardz, the values ​​​​of AMD Ryzen 7000 “Raphael” CPUs have also appeared in Canadian stores and these processors should be as expensive as Intel’s Raptor Lake, as you can see in the list below:

• AMD Ryzen 9 7950X – $1140 CAD ($892)
• AMD Ryzen 9 7900X – $777 CAD ($608)
• AMD Ryzen 7 7700X – $613 CAD ($480)
• AMD Ryzen 5 7600X – $423 CAD ($330)

Intel Raptor Lake* CPUs

^{*Based on unofficial information so far}

There is an expectation that Intel will announce Raptor Lake CPUs during its Innovation event, which will take place on September 27th.

Intel Core i9-13900K is 60% faster than Core i9-12900K in 7-Zip test
More cores and higher frequencies make that difference
