Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs See Retail Listings in Europe & Asia Ahead Of Launch
08.10.2023 - 14:41 / wccftech.com / Lake Refresh
With the release of Intel's 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh closing in, European & Asian retailers have started to list the CPUs early on.
We have previously seen listings at Canadian and European retailers with the former showing prices on par with 13th Gen CPUs and the latter showing a 15% price difference. The latest 14th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs have now been listed by Spanish & Japanese retailers which show a slight markup over the existing 13th Gen parts.
Starting in Europe, Spanish retailer CoolMod has listed four of the six 14th-Gen Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs, including the highest-end Intel Core i9-14900K. Diving into individual prices, the i9-14900K has been listed for a whopping €799.96, along with the Core i5-14600K being retailed at €429.95.
Both models have been put up for sale at much higher prices than their predecessor models, The Core i9-14900KF in particular is listed at a whooping 32% more than the 13900KF while the Core i5-13600K is listed for a 26% higher price than the 13600K at this specific retailer. However, since Intel hasn't revealed official pricing yet, you shouldn't expect these figures as final ones.
Intel "Raptor Lake Refresh" 14th Gen Core (CoolMod):
Apart from seeing retail in Europe, the Intel 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs have also shown up in the Japanese marketplace, with five different SKUs listed. Starting off with the flagship Core i9-14900K, it is priced at 131,760 JPY / USD $883, slightly higher than other regions. Moving on to the mid-tier Core i7-14700K, it sees retail at 95,760 JPY / USD $642, and the Core i5-14600K is listed at 71,160 JPY / USD $480.
At a regional level, it is safe to say that the pricing of Intel's Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs in Japan has by far been the highest and that's also due to the high taxes applied to hardware components in the region. However, since Intel hasn't disclosed MSRPs at the moment, one should expect this to be the final pricing and a drop could be seen.
We can't comment on whether upgrading to the new "Refresh" models would be a good choice since factors such as respective pricing and performance are yet to be disclosed. For a recap, here is what you can expect with Intel's Raptor Lake Refresh lineup, which shows whether it would be a good choice for you:
The Intel Raptor Lake-S Refresh Desktop CPU lineup will debut by 17th October, and by then, it would be easy to judge whether an upgrade is worth the money.

Your current cooler may be ready for Intel's next-gen CPUs if this manual is to be believed
While information continues to leak regarding Intel's new LGA 1851 socket for its upcoming Arrow Lake CPUs, it has been noted that as things stand the physical CPU size is likely to remain the same as the previous generation, albeit in a socket with a greater number of pins. This has started some speculation as to whether coolers designed for the older LGA 1700 socket will be compatible with the new CPUs, and the release of AZZA's latest Cube 240 and Cube 360 AIO units may well confirm it.
